Reel Deal Thursday: Purple Rain& Not Prince + The Revolution Anyone who knows Brokenmold Entertainment's Sean O'Brien is aware that in addition to being a music freak, he's also a movie geek. His latest collab with Pabst Blue Ribbon puts the two together into a once-monthly screening series that launches at Crowbar on this night: Reel Deal Thursday. A far cry from your tired movie night, each Reel Deal event kicks off with a movie screening in the Crowbar patio, replete with an impromptu concession stand, followed by a second screening (a double feature!), or a set of music from the film (or inspired by it) as delivered by an area-brewed musical act. On this night, the film is Purple Rain, and the after-show concert is staged by Orlando's Gerald Perez (Maximino, Thee Wilt Chamberlain, Levek), who put together a group, Not Prince & the Revolution, to play the Purple Rain soundtrack. According to the release, "Costumes will not be required, but they will be rewarded." As a bonus, local poster artists create their trademark versions of the movie's poster (see Perez, pictured right), with a limited number screen-printed and sold on a first come, first serve basis. Doors at 7 p.m., screening at 7:15 p.m. (music starts 15 minutes after the film), Crowbar, Ybor City, $10.
The Majors & Minors of Jazz II Last year’s match-up of Tampa Bay’s finest young jazz students and emerging players (minors) with vet professionals of the genre (majors) gets a redux. For the second edition, Al Downing Tampa Bay Jazz Association pairs up bassist John Lamb, drummer Ron Gregg and sax man Jeremy Carter with “minors” Danny Stagnitta (sax), Cole Hazlitt (vibes) and Tony Stagnitta (trumpet). 7:30 p.m., Palladium Theater, St. Petersburg, $15 general/$10 students with I.D.
