About Roscoe Mitchell

Living legend Roscoe Mitchell makes a rare Los Angeles appearance christening The Brick–a new art space formerly known as LAXART–with two very special performances. Founding member of the Art Ensemble of Chicago and one of the towering figures in creative music, at 83 Mitchell continues to push and pull at the tenets of musical freedom and discipline, from intricate orchestral compositions to pioneering solo improvisations. Mitchell’s work has recently focused on the bass saxophone, a scarcer member of the single-reed family. Over the last five years, Mitchell has also brought forward his visual art, a feature of his practice since the mid 1960s, and he presents his first West Coast exhibition titled Ra Shu at The Pit, opening Saturday, June 15th.

Legendary Bingo

This is Los Angeles’s most popular and longest-running weekly charity event. In April 1998, Legendary Bingo served up its first set of balls at Stonewall Gourmet Coffee in West Hollywood as a fundraising event for AIDS Project Los Angeles. A few months later, the evening began to benefit a different charity each week, and the event became a “standing room only” sensation. Legendary Bingo has raised over 8 million dollars for local and national charities and the arts.
