Their numerous recordings have all met with critical acclaim\, as have their live performances at festivals and top New York jazz spots (Birdland\, Kitano\, Dizzy’s\, Mezzrow\, Jazz Standard\, Café Bohemia). \nIn 2021 Teri & John released an album SHINE A BRIGHT LIGHT on their new label Valley Jazz Records with a new group called SHARP 5\, a collaboration with Pete Levin\, Nanny Assis & Jeff Siegel.

Teri & John’s first collaboration\, MISTERIOSO\, included jazz legends Jack DeJohnette and Kenny Burrell\, and Teri was given permission to publish her own lyrics to Monk’s iconic composition “Misterioso.” \nJohn spent ten years playing and recording with jazz legends David “Fathead” Newman and Dewey Redman\, and currently plays with jazz legend Joe Lovano as well as leading his own band.

Her hand-made puppets were recently featured in Puppets of New York City exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York. \nPenny Jones excerpt from Profiles in Art Interview:\nWhen I was working with other people’s puppet shows\, they were geared to older audiences\, but younger children came. And somebody made the rather mean joke that you could tell the success of the show by counting the puddles left by the youngest children in the front row\, due to overexcitement. I thought\, That’s terrible! I realized nobody is writing for that age\, respecting that age. So I determined when I went out myself that I would focus on that age. I had a child that age. I really identified with it. I wanted to produce shows which would capture their imagination\, which wouldn’t scare them\, which would move them\, which would not treat them like second-class citizens. And so I thought about it. I thought they have more fun when they’re sitting together as a group than when they’re sitting in chairs that are too big for them in between adults. They like to laugh. They need to exercise during the show. It’s too long for them to sit through a whole show. So we invent games that will exercise them without having to get up and run around. That’s why every show has a hand game. And they naturally want to participate. They say hello to the puppet when they see it. They don’t understand that you’re supposed to be a listener\, a watcher\, and not participate. \nAs I developed the different shows\, I kept thinking of various ways that would allow them to participate. \nRead entire interview with Terry Stoller Penny Jones\npuppeteer \nPenny Jones Westbeth Icon – See the film made about her as part of the Westbeth Icon Series\nVisit: Penny Jones Westbeth Icon \nMore Information about Penny Jones & Company Puppets\nVisit: Penny Jones & Company URL:https://westbeth.org/event/penny-jones/ LOCATION:Westbeth Community Room CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/PENNY-JONES-REV-cancelledBOXES.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220617T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220617T200000 DTSTAMP:20260423T185244 CREATED:20220104T032725Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220901T153431Z UID:10000056-1655488800-1655496000@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Summer Soundwaves: Free Concert with Peter Bernstein DESCRIPTION:Concert audio of Peter Bernstein Trio’s performance\nPeter Bernstein Trio \n \nJune 17\, 2022 Friday 6pm – 8pm\nPETER BERNSTEIN TRIO\n\nJazz guitarist Peter Bernstein has participated in over 80 recordings and numerous festival\, concert and club performances with musicians from all generations.

His work intervenes through the space of the museum or gallery to decry the influence of corporations on society and reveal the hypocrisy of liberal institutions accepting sponsorship from aggressive and conservative capitalists. This work has been immensely significant in prefiguring the modern challenge to ‘artwashing’\, the attempted diversion from harmful business practices through philanthropic engagement with the arts. \nHaacke’s politics extend to his artistic career\, providing a principled example to artists and audiences. He still maintains partial ownership over his artworks after sale\, for example\, allowing him a measure of control over the extent to which his protest can be coopted by the art market. As a teacher and writer Haacke’s influence is not only in the work he directly produced himself\, but in the dissemination of his political strategies through later generations of artists. Haacke’s fearlessness and refusal to bend in relation to institutional pressure has had an enduring legacy that persists to this day. \n– The Art Story \nWestbeth Icons is a project that celebrates the life and work of senior Westbeth artists who continue to work passionately in their artistic field. It is produced by the Westbeth Artists Residents Council. \nThe Icon evening features a filmed interview produced and directed by Ted Timreck with Terry Stoller\, interviewer\, as well as tributes by colleagues of the artist and words by the honoree. A special Icon gift is presented to the artist at the close of the evening. \nSee more Westbeth Icons at Westbeth Icons URL:https://westbeth.org/event/westbeth-icon-evening-hans-haacke/ LOCATION:Westbeth Community Room CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/HANS-HAACKE-SQ.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220504T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220504T203000 DTSTAMP:20260423T185244 CREATED:20220413T203801Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220505T151624Z UID:10000020-1651690800-1651696200@westbeth.org SUMMARY:An Evening of Readings: Walter\, Florio and Herman DESCRIPTION:Wednesday May 4\, 2022 at 7PM \nWestbeth Community Room\n155 Bank Street (enter through courtyard)\nb/w Washington and West its.\nNew York\,NY\nFREE \nKate Walter is the author of two memoirs: Behind the Mask: Living Alone in the\nEpicenter and Looking for a Kiss: A Chronicle of Downtown Heartbreak and Healing.\nHer essays and opinion pieces have appeared in the New York Times\, Newsday\, New York\nDaily News\, AM-NY\, Next Avenue\, the Advocate\, the Village Sun\, and many other outlets.\nShe taught writing at CUNY and NYU for three decades. \nDonna Florio is a lifelong resident of Bank Street in Greenwich Village.

DESCRIPTION:Friday April 22\, 2022 at 7PM\nWestbeth Community Room\n155 Bank Street (enter through courtyard)\nNew York\, NY\nMasks are recommended\, Room capacity 74 \nWhat Happened\, Miss Simone? is a 2015 American biographical documentary film about Nina Simone directed by Liz Garbus. The film opened the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. The screening was followed by a tribute performance by John Legend.[1] The film was released by Netflix on June 26\, 2015. It was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 88th Academy Awards. \nMichael Hogan wrote for Vanity Fair that\, “The risk of making a documentary of a towering artist is that\, by explaining her\, you only end up diminishing her. Not Nina Simone—not this time. In Liz Garbus’s telling\, Simone’s talent and personality shine through\, as gloriously singular\, and uncontrollable\, as ever.” \nManohla Dargis of The New York Times cited the film’s relevance\, calling it an “often electric\, bracingly urgent documentary.
