Pasadena: One Colorado Courtyard presents BARBARA MORRISON AND FRIENDS

Four Saturdays of Music & Dance with Jazz and Blues Legend Barbara Morrison 9pm in the One Colorado Courtyard - Free

Fresh from her European tour, international jazz and blues vocalist Barbara Morrison will spend a month of Saturdays in the Courtyard at One Colorado. Morrison has one of the most distinctive voices in the music world. Her cool, elegant and passionate interpretations of American classics are delivered with high-class polish and grace. She and her variety of guests will bring back an era of sophistication that evokes Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James and Dinah Washington, with whom Morrison has been compared.

Saturday, August 4
Morrison brings you the big band sounds of the acclaimed “Evan’s Mixed Bag” 9-piece orchestra led by trombonist Evan Pigford in this salute to the days of Count Basie and Duke Ellington. This full-on concert of jazz standards will have you swinging in your seats.

Saturday, August 11
Barbara Morrison and "The Bu Crew" will take you to the days of Motown with the Motown Sounds and special guests Charles Small, Ronald Bishop, Richard Taylor and Peter Buck. Get ready for a night of songs by Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, The Supremes and Marvin Gaye.

Pasadena: One Colorado Courtyard presents the “Best of the West” Film Festival. 8:30pm Free! (Fridays/Saturdays) www.onecolorado.net/fun.php

Friday, July 6 THE OX BOW INCIDENT 75 minutes 1943
Director William Wellman's Western centers on drifters Carter (Henry Fonda) and Croft (Harry Morgan), who reluctantly join a posse in search of murderous cattle rustlers. They capture three men who seem to fit the bill (Dana Andrews, Anthony Quinn and Francis Ford). But after the suspects are executed without trial, the company is in for a shock. This film is paired with a screening of Gunsmoke, episode one (30 minutes / 1955)

Saturday, July 7 MY DARLING CLEMENTINE 97 minutes 1946
Wyatt Earp (Henry Fonda) takes on the job of town marshal in Tombstone, Arizona, vowing to avenge his brother’s death. He soon encounters the hard-drinking Doc Holliday (Victor Mature) as well as the no-good Clanton clan. Director John Ford’s telling of the Earp/Clanton feud climaxes with the famous showdown at the OK Corral.

Friday, July 13 RED RIVER 133 minutes 1948
Tom Dunson (John Wayne) stakes his land and builds an empire with adopted son Matthew Garth (Montgomery Clift, in his first film appearance.) They begin an epic cattle drive north but Dunson's tyrannical behavior causes Matthew to mutiny, leading to a quintessential Western showdown in this Howard Hawks classic.

Saturday, July 14 HIGH NOON 85 minutes 1952
Director Fred Zinnemann creates an incredibly tense Western that unfolds in real time -- as the ticking clock constantly reminds us. Marshall Will Kane (Gary Cooper) insists on defending the townsfolk even though it’s his last day on the job. Unable to raise support, he goes it alone against the outlaws, scheduled to arrive on the noon train.

Friday, July 20 THE SEARCHERS 119 minutes 1956
A Comanche raid sets Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) on a quest to find his abducted niece (Natalie Wood) accompanied by his part-Indian nephew Martin (Jeffrey Hunter). The years-long journey is director John Ford’s portrait of racism, obsession and revenge set in the stunning backdrop of Monument Valley.

Saturday, July 21 THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE 123 minutes 1962
This John Ford Western profiles Senator Ransom Stoddard (James Stewart) on his return to Shinbone for the funeral of his friend Tom Doniphon (John Wayne). Many years back, as an idealistic young lawyer, Stoddard believed in legal justice, not the gun. But his principles are tested in a shootout with the unscrupulous Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin).

Friday, July 27 THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY 161 minutes 1967
This classic “spaghetti” Western directed by Sergio Leone tells of an unholy trio's (Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef) deadly search for $200,000 in Confederate money. Each man knows a piece of the puzzle, but they outsmart one another right up to the climactic graveyard shoot-out set to Ennio Morricone’s unforgettable score.

Saturday, July 28 RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY 94 minutes 1962
Sam Peckinpah directed this classic film, which in many ways is a farewell to the old West. It beautifully portrays two aging gunslingers (Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea) on what was to be their final ride. Tensions mount between the partners, with one holding doggedly to his cowboy values while the other can’t resist the temptation of easy gold. Newsweek called Ride the High Country the best American picture of 1962. It was also Randolph Scott’s final on-screen performance.
