SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

Durable Duran

True Widow

Duran Duran returns to New Orleans.

BY JOHN WIRT IN THE EARLY 1980S, DURAN DURAN’S ONE-TWO PUNCH of

strapping dance-rock and malemodel looks made the British quintet the biggest band of the New Romantic age.

Inspired by David Bowie, Roxy Music, The Clash, The Sex Pistols and the American disco band Chic, Duran Duran surged into MTV music-video stardom. Cinematic visualizations for the hits “Rio” and “Hungry Like the Wolf” matched the band’s wild pretty boys against elusive beauties in paradise.

Critics recoiled. They predicted Duran Duran and its contemporary, Madonna, would flash in the popculture pan and disappear.

“There was so much negative press around the band,” Duran Duran bassist John Taylor told Gambit in an interview recently from New York City. “You start to think maybe you’re a fraud, you aren’t the real thing.”

Madonna proved her staying power, ruling charts and concert venues for decades. Duran Duran wasn’t that consistent, but 35 years after its synth-washed first hit, “Planet Earth,” four of the group’s five core members still tour and record. In 2015, the band released its 14th studio album, Paper Gods.

Duran Duran returns to New Orleans on Sunday to play the Smoothie King Center. Chic, featuring songwriter-producer Nile Rodgers (Madonna’s Like a Virgin, Bowie’s Let’s Dance, Duran Duran’s “The Reflex”), opens the show.

“We’re strangely driven,” Taylor says. “But then, as soon as you feel like sort of chilling, you look at The (Rolling) Stones and it’s like, ‘We gotta keep going.’ Because it’s a privileged position doing this. You shouldn’t take it for granted.”

Duran Duran’s early critics didn’t know that Taylor, singer Simon Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes and drummer Roger Taylor were sincere about making music. That

earnestness animates Paper Gods, which features collaborations with Rodgers, Janelle Monae, Kiesza and former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante. The music is both classic and new, thanks in part to producers Mark Ronson (Bruno Mars, Amy Winehouse) and Benjamin “Mr. Hudson” McIldowie (Kanye West, Jay Z).

“What defines the Paper Gods album within our catalog is that it has a lot of voices on it,” Taylor says. “That’s made for a much more beautiful and colorful story.”

Echoing the title of Duran Duran’s 2011 album, All You Need Is Now, the tour with Rodgers and Chic is one of the band’s happiest experiences.

“It’s almighty,” Taylor says.

Rodgers probably is the most important musician to enter the Duran Duran circle. The partnership began in 1983 with the hit “The Reflex,” and Rodgers produced 1986’s Notorious and The Power Station, a side project band with Robert Palmer and Chic’s Tony Thompson.

“When you were a 17-year-old white kid from Birmingham (England), it was one thing to be influenced by The Clash,” Taylor says. “But Chic, those guys were gods. And the distance between what we were and what they were was seismic.

I’m English. We’re so uptight and class-structured.”

Duran Duran and Rodgers connected instantly when they met in 1981.

APRIL 24 DURAN DURAN AND CHIC FEATURING NILE RODGERS 7 P.M. SUNDAY SMOOTHIE KING CENTER, 1501 DAVE DIXON DRIVE, (504) 587-3822; WWW.SMOOTHIEKINGCENTER.COM TICKETS $25-$260

“The friendship and the language were immediate,” Taylor says. “In that moment, there was a thought, ‘Hey, maybe we can do something together one day.’

Because Nile and Tony Thompson were so open.”

During the Paper Gods tour, Taylor loves arriving at venues early.

“Hearing Chic on stage before we play is an insane dream realized,” he says. “For the audience, it’s a real gift.”

Rodgers sticks around after Chic’s set to make a guest appearance with Duran Duran.

“Nile has the generosity, after having given all in his own show, to join us halfway through our performance,” Taylor says. “There is a message in that. The message is spoken through the music. A lot of the fans have taken the ride with us. They’ve read the narrative. They understand. They know there’s nothing cynical about it.”

TUE. APRIL 19 | The Dallas, Texas selfdescribed “stonegaze” trio conjures mystic guitar doom with surprisingly delicate down-tuned melodies. The band’s fourth album and second on Relapse Records — following 2013’s bonged-out epic Circumambulation — is due this summer. Slimy Member and Silver Godling open at 10 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

The Joy Formidable with The Helio Sequence WED. APRIL 20 | In the great tradition of Welsh singers from Tom Jones to Bonnie Tyler to Gruff Rhys, Ritzy Bryan is the eye-magnet northern star to Cate Le Bon’s fence-pulling Southern farm girl. Bryan’s The Joy Formidable is touring in support of self-released LP Hitch with alt-rock stalwart The Helio Sequence. Bantam Foxes opens at 8:30 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.

Jim Norton THU. APRIL 21 | A gruff, selfdeprecating veteran of politically incorrect humor shows such as Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, Jim Norton co-hosts the Opie with Jim Norton Show and has appeared on programs including Louie, Inside Amy Schumer and The Tonight Show. At 8:30 p.m. at The Joy Theater.

Thao & the Get Down Stay Down THU. APRIL 21 | Inspired by her absentee father and conspired on with TuneYards’ loco-motivator Merrill Garbus, A Man Alive (Ribbon) gives birth to a new Thao Nguyen: an established artist embracing her most idiosyncratic self, one who knows the difference between getting down and staying there. Seratones opens at 8 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.

WWOZ Piano Night MON. APRIL 25 | Community radio station WWOZ 90.7 FM celebrates the legacy of New Orleans piano players with a lineup including Monty Alexander, Henry Butler, Marcia Ball, Tom McDermott, Joe Krown and many others. There’s also a tribute to Allen Toussaint. Patron party at 5 p.m.; general admission at 7 p.m. at House of Blues.

The number of tropical storms forecast to form during the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season.

SOURCE: PHILIP KLOTZBACH AND WILLIAM GRAY, FORECASTERS WITH COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY’S TROPICAL METEOROLOGY PROJECT.

rologists are saying the 2016 hurricane season should be an average one after 2015’s comparatively slow season, when not a single hurricane made landfall in the U.S. Klotzbach and Gray are predicting two major hurricanes this year (category 3 or above). The reasons for the change: A waning El Niño weather pattern is more conducive to tropical storm formation, but the waters of the North Atlantic remain cold, which is less conducive.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will release its predictions next month. Hurricane season begins June 1, and we hope Bonnie, Colin, Danielle, Earl, Fiona and all their friends stay far away from the Gulf Coast. — KEVIN ALLMAN

COMMENTARY

LESS THAN 26,000 PEOPLE in New

Orleans turned out to vote in the April 9 millage election to provide more money for the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) and help pay firefighters, who are owed $60 million in pensions. That figure included roughly 5,000 citizens who voted early. That same weekend, an estimated 760,000 people attended the 33rd annual French Quarter Festival — almost 30 times the number of people who voted.

Those who turned out for the festival were rewarded with great music, food and glorious weather. Those who voted torpedoed the millage by a margin of 54-46 percent. The referendum’s failure sends city leaders back to the drawing board to figure out where they might take $60 million out of the municipal budget.

According to an analysis by Ed Chervenak of the University of New Orleans Survey Research Center, early voters narrowly favored the millage, but Election Day voters rejected it in larger numbers. Moreover, 50 percent of voters in traditionally white neighborhoods approved the millage, while only 38 percent of voters in black neighborhoods supported it.

The only other item on that ballot was a proposal to sell $120 million in capital improvement bonds to fund street repairs and other infrastructure improvements. That proposition passed by about the same margin, with 53 percent approving the bond sale.

The results were a slap in the face to city officials who supported the public safety millage — among them Mayor Mitch Landrieu and NOPD Superintendent Michael Harrison.

In the days before the vote, the two touted what they said was progress at NOPD, including a reduction in response times to emergency calls and a series of graduating classes that will put new officers on the streets. Clearly, that message wasn’t received — or didn’t resonate — with half of white voters and almost twothirds of black voters.

Some have suggested that the police and fire millages should have been presented as separate ballot propositions, that voters might have looked more favorably on raising taxes to pay court-ordered pension payments to first responders.

Maybe, maybe not. For whatever reasons, the two were bundled together, leaving New Orleanians to vote yea or nay on the whole package — and they voted nay.

Given that the bond issue passed, voters clearly considered the questions carefully and didn’t just shoot down every proposal to raise money.

The streets initiative, after all, will ultimately cause property taxes to go up. That being the case, there’s only one conclusion that can be drawn: Landrieu and Harrison didn’t get their message across on behalf of the police and fire millage increase.

All is not yet lost. The failed propositions can be resubmitted to voters later this year, when voter turnout will be significantly higher. However, higher turnout won’t necessarily mean higher levels of support.

Landrieu, the City Council, Harrison and others will have to do more to convince voters that these millage increases are necessary.

Messaging matters. That’s the message of the April 9 election.

LAST SONGS

propose budget cuts

The late Allen Toussaint’s final recordings are coming. American Tunes, a new studio album, had been completed shortly before the singer-songwriter’s death in November 2015, according to Nonesuch Records, which is releasing the album. It consists of two sets of recordings: one made in 2013, the other in October 2015, just a month before Toussaint died.

The album includes solo performances of Professor Longhair tunes and band arrangements of songs by Duke Ellington, Fats Waller and Paul Simon.

Toussaint was honored and remembered at an all-star performance at the Orpheum Theater last November, and the New Orleans City Council declared Jan. 14, 2016 “Allen Toussaint Day” in New Orleans. American Tunes will be released June 10.

2. Payton: ‘I hate guns’ In the aftermath of the April 9 shooting that killed former New Orleans Saints defensive end Will Smith, Saints coach Sean Payton gave a frank interview to USA Today’s Jarrett Bell, in which Payton stated “I hate guns. … I’ve heard people argue that everybody needs a gun. That’s madness. …

They [city officials] don’t want to kill tourism. But right now, it’s like the Wild, Wild West here.

“I just know this,” Payton concluded. “Our city is broken.”

3.

Edwards orders LGBT employment protections Gov. John Bel Edwards signed an executive order April 13 protecting state employees, employees of state contractors and people receiving state services from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, following previous failed attempts by legislators to include LGBT protections in nondiscrimination laws. Edwards’ order creates protections from discrimination on the “basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gen-

der identity, national origin, political affiliation, disability, or age,” and extends that protection to services provided by state agencies. It’s the first state protection for transgender people.

The order came one day after state Rep. Mike Johnson, R-Bossier City, got committee support for his “Pastor Protection Act,” which opponents say opens the door for LGBT discrimination beyond the altar. (Johnson failed to pass his 2015 “Marriage and Conscience Act” to preempt U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling allowing same-sex marriages.)

Edwards also rescinded former Gov. Bobby Jindal’s “Marriage and Conscience Act” executive order, filed in the wake of the SCOTUS ruling. Edwards said Jindal’s order did “nothing but divide our state and forced the business community, from Louisiana’s smallest businesses to large corporations, like IBM, to strongly oppose it.”

Senate Bill 436, by state Sen. Troy Carter, D-New Orleans, and House Bill 925 by state Rep. Joe Bouie, D-New Orleans, would provide the same protections for LGBT Louisianans in the private sector. Both are before legislative committees.

4. Medical marijuana bill expanded

Despite objections from Louisiana sheriffs and district attorneys, the Senate Committee on Health and Welfare unanimously approved Senate Bill 271 from state Sen. Fred Mills, R-Parks, April 13. The bill tweaks Mills’ medical marijuana measure that passed last year by adding several diseases for treatment — including cancer, cancer, glaucoma, HIV/ AIDS, and any disease (or treatments) that have symptoms of cachexia, seizures epilepsy and severe muscle spasms, Crohn’s disease or multiple sclerosis.

5.

Equal pay, “raise the age” pass Senate committees The Louisiana State Senate passed an equal pay measure April 12 to require most private employers to pay men and women equally for the same work. By a vote of 2810, Senate Bill 254 by state Sen. J.P. Morrell, D-New Orleans, extends the mandate for state employers to all workers≈at businesses with 50 or more employees. It now heads to the full House.

Morrell also cleared the first hurdle for his measure to

Gov. John Bel Edwards and Commissioner of the Division of Administration Jay Dardenne outlined deep cuts to more than a dozen agencies last week when the presented the governor’s proposed budget. The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) faces more than $400 million in cuts, and hospitals serving poor and uninsured or underinsured patients in Alexandria, Bogalusa, Houma and Lake Charles could close.

Edwards also proposed cutting TOPS by $183.2 million, which could reduce the number of students eligible for scholarships by more than half (or reduce individual scholarships by nearly 70 percent across the board). The state Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism faces more than $5 million in cuts, which could mean several state museums and historic sites could close.

The Department of Education faces $52 million in cuts under Edwards’ proposed budget. Special schools also face cuts of up to $1.5 million (including a 50 percent cut at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts).

7. Public hearing on short-term rentals

Proposed short-term rental regulations were mulled by members of the New Orleans City Council last week, but the council isn’t yet convinced the city can effectively regulate Airbnb-style rentals.

At the April 13 meeting of the Community Development Committee, short-term rental advocates stressed their importance to tourism and opposed the City Planning Commission’s recommendation to ban whole-home rentals (more than 70 percent of homes on Airbnb and other sites are for entire homes).

Other members of the public also cited short-term rentals’ negative impact on neighborhoods, from displacement and evictions to higher rents and other quality of life issues. The full City Council will take up the issue in coming months, but no date has been set.

8. Monuments bill stalls in Legislature

House Bill 944 by state Rep. Thomas Carmody, R-Shreveport, would have made it mandatory to get an official waiver to remove many longstanding monuments in Louisiana — including New Orleans’ controversial Confederate monuments — but Carmody’s “Louisiana Heritage Act” stalled in committee last week when seven Republican members voted for it, while seven Democrats voted against it. Three other lawmakers were absent when the vote was taken.

The bill is not officially dead for the session because it could be reconsidered by the House Committee on Municipal, Parochial and Cultural Affairs. Carmody says he may try a procedural maneuver to revive the measure, which would have created a new board within the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism to rule on proposed monument removals.

10. Hokie Gajan, 1959-2016

“Not that I’m trying to sound corny, but they’re the most optimistic people I’ve ever been around.” — New Orleans Saints radio announcer Hokie Gajan to Gambit’s Scott Jordan in 2003, describing the Who Dat Nation.

Gajan died April 11 at age 56 due to complications from liposarcoma, a rare form of cancer. Gajan had been a running back and a scout for the Saints before ascending to the broadcast booth in 2000.

In that interview, Gajan noted, in a notable Hokie-ism, “You’re going to have your fans out there that you can’t make ’em happy if you hang ’em with a new rope. They’re gonna bitch about everything.”

Hey Blake, Your recent column mentioning the Pitot House (Blake Pontchartrain, March 29) got me to thinking.

Wasn’t it moved to its current location sometime in the 1950s or ’60s? Where was it before then?

DENNIS

Dear Dennis, Your memory serves you well.

The structure known as the Pitot House physically moved about 200 feet along Bayou St. John in the 1960s, but it took more than 165 years for it to get there.

Built around 1799, the Pitot House is named for the fourth owner of the house — James Pitot, the city’s first American mayor. According to a history of the building by architect and historian Samuel Wilson Jr., Pitot owned and lived in the Creole colonial plantation-style house from 1810 to 1819. Its original location at 1370 Moss St. was feet away from where it now stands at 1440 Moss St. It remains one of the only surviving examples of a Louisiana plantation home from the Spanish colonial period.

Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, whose namesake high school is nearby, purchased the property in 1904. In the 1930s, it was converted into a convent for her order, the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. In 1963, when the nuns planned to demolish the building to make room for a new school, the Louisiana Landmarks Society stepped in to save and relocate the historic structure.

Roosevelt Hotel owner Seymour Weiss contributed $10,000 to the

effort, which was led by Wilson and his partner, architect Richard Koch. Preservationists Leonard Huber and Harnett Kane, president of the Louisiana Landmarks Society, also were instrumental.

The group raised an additional $5,000 to dismantle the building and move its brick-between-posts main floor and plastered brick columns. The masonry ground floor could not be moved and was rebuilt at the new location. The project was interrupted by Hurricane Betsy, which caused severe damage to the building.

The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and two years later it opened to the public as a museum and the headquarters of the Louisiana Landmarks Society. Furnished with antiques, it is open for tours and special events.

BLAKEVIEW WITH THE 47TH EDITION OF THE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ AND HERITAGE FESTIVAL opening later this week, we take time to honor the man who started

it all — George Wein. A jazz impresario in every sense of the word, Wein founded the Newport jazz and folk festivals in Rhode Island in the 1950s.

He was approached about starting a similar music festival here, a process that took nearly a decade. To help produce the inaugural effort at Congo Square and other venues, Wein brought on Tulane University students Allison Miner and Quint Davis. Performers that first year included Al Hirt, Pete Fountain, the Zion Harmonizers and Mahalia Jackson. Before long, Wein’s festival, which moved to the Fair Grounds in 1972, grew into a major international music and cultural event.

THE TINFOIL HAT BRIGADE IS ONCE AGAIN IN CHARGE OF THE LOUISIANA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Its members aim to spare us all from the intrusive scourge known as the REAL ID Act, which they just know fosters unfettered federal access to our private information.

I’m not making this up.

Congress passed the REAL ID Act in 2005 as an anti-terrorism measure — upon recommendation of the 9/11 Commission. The act sets minimum state ID standards that must be met in order to use those IDs to board domestic flights after September 2020.

If you don’t lie awake at night fretting about Big Brother watching you, REAL ID is a no-brainer. If, on the other hand, you just can’t buy enough copies of The Catcher in the Rye, well, you’re too late. The feds already know everything about you.

Think about it: The average American adult already has a driver’s license, a Social Security number, a history of tax returns, credit cards with easily tracked spending patterns, a cell phone that can be tracked and hacked, one or more email accounts, a Facebook page (on which many enthusiastically post all sorts of personal data), a federally issued passport, Internet access on a computer that probably has a built-in camera and definitely leaves a trail of every web site you visit, digital medical records and God-knows-what-else that Big Brother might want to access.

Fear not. The Louisiana Family Forum (LFF) and state Rep. Mike Johnson, R-Bossier City, are fighting to make sure that our state-issued

driver’s licenses won’t convey any “private” information to the mind-control crowd at the National Security Agency.

Feel safer yet?

If so, don’t make any major travel plans after September 2020.

Instead, thanks to an amendment that Johnson convinced his colleagues to tack onto a rational REAL ID bill by state Rep. Jimmy Harris, D-New Orleans, you’ll have to pay extra for a separate state card if you want to comply with Read ID — or show a federally issued passport in order to board domestic flights.

Such madness is not cheap.

If Johnson and the LFF have their way, citizens will have to pay extra to get a separate, REAL ID-compliant state identification, and the state may also have to spend more to set up a separate database for compliant IDs. Harris was visibly frustrated after the House adopted Johnson’s amendment last week. He voted for his weakened bill just to get it over to the Senate, where the amendment no doubt will be stripped from the bill. That’s hardly a victory for those of us who prefer to use tinfoil on our grills rather than on our heads, unless the House has a lucid interval in the coming weeks.

The Senate last month passed its own REAL ID measure. It would allow residents to carry just one card instead of two in order to comply with REAL ID. That bill awaits action in a House committee.

If the House doesn’t get real about REAL ID, come late 2020 you will no longer be free to move about the country.

22 12:45-1:35 TR Shine

CONGO SQUARE STAGE Shine may be the key word for Ivan “TR Shine” Burgess’ music.

The Belizean artist creates bright, beat-driven tracks meant to make a crowd move. Shine is a recent, repeat-winner of Belize’s National Song Competition. Shine has excelled in the Carnival category, in which the National Institute of Culture and History explicitly looks for songs to use for “celebratory

purposes.” After winning in backto-back years, he withdrew in 2015 to help promote younger artists.

3-4 Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys SHERATON FAIS DO-DO STAGE Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys took up the mantle of Cajun music more than 25 years ago, one of a handful of young bands inspired by revivalists such as Dewey Balfa.

The group has released more than a dozen albums full of new accordion- and fiddle-led, French-sung tunes. It has toured extensively and have been highlighted on an NPR Tiny Desk concert. In 2015, the band released its first album in four years, Voyageurs. Fans at the Fais Do-Do Stage can expect to hear a mix of songs like the grandiose “Au Revoir Grand Mamou” and foot-stompers like “La Danse De Mardi Gras.”

3:20-4:40 Grace Potter GENTILLY STAGE Fans may notice the schedule doesn’t say “Grace Potter & the

FRIDAY

Nocturnals,” and that isn’t a mistake. Last summer, the singer-songwriter put out her first solo album after a decade of churning out rock and soul with the band. While some of the Nocturnals sat in for the sessions, a quick listen to Midnight shows this is something else entirely.

Potter’s big riffs and attitude still shine through, but she’s comfortably putting her spin on power pop with the new material. There are electric sounds that would fit on an MGMT record and soaring choruses that wouldn’t be out of place on Top 40 radio.

Inevitably, there will be some big guitar solos during her set, but the new songs may mean a few sing-alongs could make for equally memorable moments.

4:10-5:25 Geri Allen: The Erroll Garner Jazz Project ZATARAIN’S/ WWOZ JAZZ TENT Pianist Geri Allen is an accomplished composer, but recently she has devoted herself to honoring jazz legend Erroll Garner, whose Concert By The Sea became one of the best selling jazz albums of all-time 60 years ago. Last fall, Allen coproduced a rerelease that included 11 previously unheard tracks. The restoration effort led to nominations for Grammy and NAACP Image awards, and Allen organized a Garner tribute concert to coincide with the 2015 Monterey Jazz Festival. Now she’s bringing her Garner expertise to Jazz Fest.

4:15-5:20

Bria Skonberg PEOPLE’S HEALTH ECONOMY HALL TENT Rising star trumpeter Bria Skonberg is on a roll. In 2013, the British Columbia nativeturned-New Yorker co-founded her own event — the New York Hot Jazz Festival, celebrating 1920s-style jazz — and her performances drew a Jazz at Lincoln Center Swing!

Grace Potter

Crescent City as a young musician changed her career. Songs like “Go Tell It” (with its second line-inspired percussion) from Skonberg’s latest release make the relationship clear. She talks about her music on the Allison Miner Music Heritage Stage from 2:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m.

5:25-6:55 Janelle Monae CONGO SQUARE STAGE Ask five people about Janelle Monae, and you could get five different reference points. Her intense live shows have drawn comparisons to James Brown. Monae’s ability to seamlessly tiptoe between genres and weave fantastical narratives into her lyrics also recalls the late David Bowie. Modern giants including Erykah Badu want to collaborate with her as much as legends Nile Rodgers and Duran Duran. She even performs with an orchestra on occasion.

Before Monae dives into acting this fall (look for her in Hidden Figures, a film about the unsung black women mathematicians who helped NASA launch the space program), she’s playing a handful

of summer concerts beginning with this Jazz Fest show. Even though 2013’s The Electric Lady is her most recent full-length release, Monae has consistently churned out hit singles. The latest — last year’s “Yoga” — was a stylistic departure into club music that showed her versatility. Monae is known to sneak in a crowd-pleasing cover (like her take on “Heroes,” which resurfaced earlier this year), so everything is on the table for this set.

5:30-7 Steely Dan ACURA STAGE It’s not clear how it happened, but Steely Dan suddenly has multigenerational appeal. While the soft rock legends remain a staple of classic rock radio, the band is equally likely to be on a Spotify playlist for a club or house party. Maybe being cited as Walter White’s favorite band on Breaking Bad did the trick, or perhaps winning over a 2015 Coachella crowd did the trick.

Whatever the case, young acts like White Denim are paying homage with covers and Steely Dan’s festival crowds are only getting bigger.

FRIDAY

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker’s jazzy soft rock band put out a string of albums in the 1970s, featuring the hits “Reelin’ in the Years” and “Rikki Don’t Lose that Number.” The band broke up and remained defunct through the 1980s before reuniting and has sporadically released new work.

It has toured fairly regularly in the last five years, and audiences can expect its harmonies and light grooves to sound as good as they did on 1970s vinyl.

5:45-7 Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings BLUES TENT Nothing can stop Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, the quintessential modern big band for fans of soul music.

Much has happened since the band’s last appearance at Jazz Fest four years ago, the most public story being Jones’ battle with cancer.

After her 2013 diagnosis, she recovered and rejoined her bandmates to record and tour in support of their Grammynominated 2014 LP, Give the People What They Want. (The comeback sparked a documentary, Miss Sharon Jones!, and wide release is expected this year.)

Last fall, Jones told a Toronto Film Festival crowd that her cancer recurred, but the band wouldn’t be stopped.

It released a holiday album in 2015 and has toured throughout 2016.

Its sound is tailor-made for Jazz Fest, with big brass lines, an emphasis on rhythm and Jones’ commanding alto. Jones told Rolling Stone she’d keep fighting, and so far this year, Jones & The Dap-Kings sound as strong as ever.

“I have always listened to him.

The deeper I’ve dug, the more I get into the Wavelength album.

My most favorite recording of his is the Live at Montreux DVD set. When I got married in 2012, we had this one DVD from 1980 playing on the TV all the time — we just left it on and walked past it. It’s a big band performance in Montreux. He’s got two keyboard players, two drummers, a killing base player. (Alfred) “Pee Wee” Ellis was the bandleader at the time; he was the saxophone player who came up with all of the cool arrangements and horn parts. The way that (the songs) have new life breathed into them — it’s just a killing band. That’s what I am into with him: his great songwriting being driven through a killing band.”

TAJ MAHAL TRIO

4:15 p.m.-5:30 p.m. Sunday, April 24 FAIS DO-DO STAGE

“Whatever he does, I’ll be there.

He might be my ‘desert island’ artist — if I could only bring one catalogue with me. A friend of mine in high school had that three-disc retrospective called In Progress & In Motion (1965-1998). I love his approach, vocal phrasing and his sort of relaxed playing style. I love the way the older tunes are recorded, whether it’s the blues stuff with the distorted harmonica or the slide stuff with Jesse Ed Davis or the Caribbean stuff. There are so many cool sounds and

percussion bits. I love how natural and alive those recordings feel.”

“When I was getting into roots music 15 to 17 years ago, (Corey Harris) did Greens from the Garden, which was like slide guitar with this Afro influence and a few jazzy things going on. His voice — I am attracted to people who push their voice and express themselves. He takes a lot of chances.

He also made Downhome Sophisticate, which I really dug.”

Brass bands on the street is part of what hooked me on New Orleans when I was first down here.”

Scott

INTERVIEW

BY ALEX WOODWARD

“EVERYONE EVOLVES,” CHRISTIAN SCOTT SAYS. “Eventually you step

into different spaces.” The prolific, Grammy Award-nominated jazz artist (and graduate of the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts and Berklee College of Music) has developed a genreless elasticity, and his critically acclaimed 2015 breakthrough Stretch Music spans hip-hop, psychedelic soul and atmospheric electronics. Scott doesn’t melt them together into a shapeless, liquid pool — they’re bricked together like a beautifully warped sculpture.

Scott’s latest expression merges elements of trap music — lethal pops from Roland TR-808 drum machines and SPD-SX percussive sample pads — as a gateway to younger audiences outside the often-insular jazz scene, challenging them to hear “what this music actually has to offer and try to dispel this notion that the best jazz has already happened.”

“It’s kind of an absurd notion,” he says. “If you want to step towards

them and build a bridge, you have to be willing to meet people where they frequent… It’s the type of music I listen to in a certain social space. It captivates me and has a value to me — it’s not like something that’s purely contrived as like a conceptual thing. I listen to it as part of my daily diet of music.”

On Stretch Music, skittering drum samples seem to trip over a trumpet and flute duet on “Sunrise in Beijing” and spare 808 snaps shroud a smoke-filled “Tantric” — paired with the album’s live drums and arrangements, Scott links his shapeshifting jazz palette to its lineage of African and Caribbean rhythms, all propelling Scott’s lines, as lyrical, patient and melodic as they are unpredictable.

Stretch Music’s introduction carried with it Scott’s written manifesto and mission statement regarding his concept for “stretch music”: “This is what you will hear on our recordings; a stretching of jazz, not a replacement. And this is what I hope younger people will be able to take

away from it as well: the idea that innovation should never be regarded as a problem in artistic practice, that one should always be aware of what has come before, and finally, that criticisms shouldn’t evoke paralysis, they should inspire action.”

“Traditionally I’m dissatisfied with sounds in general,” he says. “I hold the notion I can either expand what’s already been contributed or find new modes of operating, in terms of a communal dialogue we’re working on musically.”

Scott — nephew of saxophonist Donald Harrison Jr. and grandson of the Big Chief Donald Harrison Sr. — jokes that after years as the wunderkind teenager, he’s now the old man (he’s 33). He surrounds himself with younger, fresher players, mirroring the changing lineups of artists like Art Blakey and Miles Davis. “They were able to tap the younger, developing and up-andcoming artists and help them refine what it was they were trying to put together for their generation and for themselves,” Scott says. “It ends up feeding the music in a different way, too. You’re not dealing with folks who have encroached into the space artistically, where they think they know better or are fighting the idea of change because they’re set in their own way. … If I say, ‘let’s hear what that phrase sounds like if we play it in reverse,’ they’re just as interested in hearing what that sounds like as I am. My natural mode of operating is more of an exploratory stance.”

Fresh from rehearsals and the studio, Scott plans to premiere stretch music’s next chapter at Jazz Fest, complete with dueling drummers (including Joe Dyson’s “pan-African, West African trap drumset”).

“You’re going to hear the new sound in creative improvised music,” Scott says. “Anyone interested in hearing in what is at the forefront of what’s happening creatively right now, they should definitely bring their butts down there and get a taste.”

ACURA STAGE Washington, D.C. native Nigel Hall moved to New Orleans in 2013. The keyboardist showcases original compositions on his second studio album, Ladies and Gentlemen…

Nigel Hall. The album spans genres from feel-good funk to upbeat blues to R&Blaced pop, all featuring Hall’s signature vocals and keys, an instrument he’s been playing since before kindergarten. He has built studio credentials by recording with the Soul Rebels and Warren Haynes, and he also has put his distinct take on classics like the Isley Brothers’ “Lay Away.”

Victor Goines ZATARAIN’S/WWOZ JAZZ TENT Victor Goines started playing clarinet at age 8 and picked up the saxophone in high school. He’s performed professionally with a wide array of artists, including Lionel Hampton, Dizzy Gillespie and Ellis Marsalis and was a member of the Wynton Marsalis Septet. Goines has been a prolific bandleader and composer in his own right, most recently releasing A Dance at the Mardi Gras Ball. Equally adept at performing a quick-tempo modern jazz piece on saxophone, or an easier paced number on clarinet, Goines is a legend who’s well worth catching in his hometown.

Mystikal

INTERVIEW

BY HOLLY HOBBS WITH A DISTINCT SOUND AND A PERFORMANCE STYLE that begs

for a headlining show at The Apollo Theater, Mystikal has been called the James Brown of his generation. His 2015 collaboration with super-producer Mark Ronson, “Feel Right,” provided space for Mystikal to shine, highlighting his unique lyrical wordplay and his intense musicality, deeply rooted in New Orleans performance aesthetics.

Just a few years after the release of his Grammy-nominated Tarantula album, which spawned the mega-hit “Bouncin’ Back (Bumpin’ Me Against the Wall),” closely followed his post-No Limit Records hits “Danger” and “Shake Ya Ass,” Mystikal was sentenced to a six-year sentence for sexual battery and extortion charges, putting his career on hiatus. Following his release from prison in early 2010, Mystikal jumped back into his career full force, building on the countless hits of his No Limit days with new collaborations with his old producer, KLC, and signing to Cash Money Records. In 2012, Mystikal returned to prison for a three-month stint for

violating the terms of his five-year probation. In 2016, Mystikal has worked to rebuild his career from the ground up, focusing on new material that highlights his best asset — the energy he brings to a performance with a live band. Mystikal appears at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival with a new band, one he describes as part funk, part soul and part jazz.

“My sound has progressed since the last Jazz Fest,” Mystikal says. “It’s elevated ’cause I feel like I’ve elevated.

I feel like I’ve grown as an artist, and what I mean by that is, I kind of see who I’m talking to now, as opposed to when I first came home, I didn’t really know what target I was shooting. … I was shooting some live rounds, but they weren’t all hitting the target because I didn’t really know who I was speaking to.”

Mystikal cares about the experience of his audience and is able to combine the feel of an intimate show with the powerhouse sound for which he is known. “I come to do my job for the audience, and my job is to make the audience forget about any bills

they owe, or anybody who owes them money and just enjoy themselves and have fun,” he says.

Mystikal says he has fallen in love with music again. It has been a long road back, and he was initially disillusioned by the state of the music industry to which he returned. He also was troubled by setbacks that plagued him since early 2010.

“An artist’s job is not to complain, but to do something about it,” he says.

Mystikal returns to Congo Square Stage this year a stronger artist with renewed dedication.

“Jazz Fest is special,” he says.

“It’s just live. And it’s live in my hometown. It’s a moment that I can really show the audience the product of their love and their support. I can say, look, it’s y’all’s fault that I’m up here.

So that’s when I try to do my absolute best.”

Motel Radio LAGNIAPPE STAGE Motel Radio formed in 2014 and is already making a mark. The fivepiece band met when its members attended college in Baton Rouge, but it took a move to New Orleans in 2015 to solidify the group’s sound, which combines Americana traditions with contemporary sounds. Sentimental acoustic guitar work is paired with crisp electric guitar for a strong blend of old and new. The band released the EP Days and Nights in November 2015 and is working on a studio album it expects to release this year.

Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats GENTILLY STAGE

Songwriter Nathaniel Rateliff has established himself with his raucous style. Originally from Mississippi, Rateliff has been performing since 2007 and recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He’s currently touring with his band Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, which released its self-titled debut album in 2015. Rateliff combines some of Americana’s grittier strains in a blues-infused rock sound that is sometimes rounded out with jazz and brass band influences.

Rateliff has the personality and energy to kick down the fourth wall and wow audiences while performing solo, and that only adds to the band’s big presence and sound.

GENTILLY STAGE Tab Benoit blends swamp pop, blues and a feel-good stage show.

With good ol’ boy charm and acclaimed guitar chops, Benoit has explored an array of roots music sounds. His most recent album, 2011’s Medicine, was largely co-written with Anders Osborne and shows Benoit moving in new thematic and melodic directions.

Besides writing original tunes, Benoit knows how to make a song his own, as with classics such as Otis Redding’s “These Arms of Mine.” Benoit also enjoys sharing a little ribaldry with the crowd between his songs. It shouldn’t come as a surprise. He tried comedy before he pursued music full-time.

Tribute to Jelly Roll Morton featuring Henry Butler, Butch Thompson and Dr. Michael White ECONOMY HALL TENT Pianists Henry Butler and Butch Thompson and clarinetist Dr. Michael White team up to honor New Orleans’ legendary pianianist and jazz innovator Jelly Roll Morton. Butler’s appearance marks a return home for the New Orleans native. Even though he’s spent much of his career elsewhere, his musical style remains firmly rooted in New Orleans sounds.

Whether playing solo or leading a blues or a jazz group, Butler brings a modern interpretation to his work. White has focused his career on traditional New Orleans jazz styles. Thompson adds bluesy interpretation of jazz numbers.

Osborne INTERVIEW

BY FRANK ETHERIDGE

NASCENT NASHVILLE SENSATIONS BROTHERS OSBORNE’S VIDEO for

“Stay a Little Longer” is nearing nine million views on YouTube.

Released in October as a preview of their debut album Pawn Shop (EMI Records Nashville), “Stay a Little Longer” is set amid a dark, gritty urban wasteland populated by multiracial, well-tattooed hipster actors in passionate scenes. Frontman vocalist and younger brother TJ strums rhythm licks on his acoustic guitar while the bearded and unkempt John, intermittently delivers riffs both delicate and tractor-bouncy before shredding a sinister outro segment to the original tune.

“I haven’t checked in a while,” John Osborne says of the YouTube count, talking by phone during a recent tour stop in Alabama. “I don’t get caught up in listening to such talk, but definitely it’s put us over the edge. We needed it and are very grateful.

“What we’d prefer, while ultra-grateful, is a one-on-one relationship,” Osborne adds. “Not a direct, sold-to-you relationship, but a much closer bond versus just watching us on YouTube. Come to our shows, get to understand us as artists, meet each

SATURDAY

other and have a good time.”

At 33, John has lived in Nashville for 15 years. Three-and-a-half years younger, TJ moved to the Music City 13 years ago. Sudden darlings of a country-music renaissance that’s flourishing in tandem with Nashville’s recent cultural and economic boom, the Brothers Osborne know the benefit of fitting into its scene.

“If you look at the city now, it’s physically had an entire facelift,” John says. “A lot of different styles, a lot of different influences — The Black Keys, Jack White — have congregated in one place. That breeds creativity and diversity musically as well as culturally. We’re all crossing party lines to write and create for each other. Another factor for artists like us is Chris Stapleton breaking through in such an epic way, with his more organic style and huge rock sound. This isn’t the bro-country you heard for so long, songs all in the same style with all the same production.”

Osborne says his parents paved the way for the duo to compose music and visit Nashville in hopes of succeeding there. “Of course I was rebellious and hated everything in my parents’ life when I first started really

listening to music — first sucked in by the whole Seattle grunge thing,” he says. “Then Stevie Ray Vaughan changed everything for me. I didn’t understand what you were allowed to do with the guitar. Then I found [Eric] Clapton, Duane [Allman], Dickey [Betts], [Lynyrd] Skynyrd, B.B. King, Freddie King — the blues/Southern rock style grabbed me hard. Then I got into high school and I got into old country: Roy Nichols, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens. The complexity of country music, which seems simple on the surface, has a lot of subtleties that takes a bit of maturity to hear. Then it became a rabbit hole I’m still in.”

Growing up in what he describes as the backwater culture of smalltown, Western Shore Maryland, Osborne says front-porch jams with friends and family just were part of life as he knew it. Growing from there to stardom with his brother seemed simple, he says.

“It really all came naturally,” he says. “The trick is, we didn’t overthink it.”

INTERVIEW

DeJohnette

BY JENNIFER ODELL A STORMY RHYTHM SECTION MOTIF

and a mournful horn line brings John Coltrane’s 1963 masterpiece “Alabama” to a close. Recorded two months after members of the Ku Klux Klan bombed a church in Birmingham, Alabama, the song is considered Coltrane’s response to the tragedy, in part because that horn line closely resembles the cadence of Martin Luther King Jr.’s eulogy for the young girls killed by the bomb.

Coltrane never confirmed the source of his inspiration. That detail lends an element of timelessness to a new version of the tune, recorded by drummer Jack DeJohnette with the sons of two of his late, close friends: saxophonist Ravi Coltrane and bassist Matthew Garrison, whose father Jimmy Garrison played bass on the original recording.

DeJohnette has known both players since they were toddlers and began

touring with them a few years ago.

As the project progressed, they headed for Garrison’s Brooklyn venue, ShapeShifter Lab, to zero in on ideas for a full album. The result, In Movement, arrives May 6 and opens with “Alabama.”

“That song represents a crossroads of where we are in humanity right now,” says DeJohnette, 73, a masterful composer and improviser who explores drums’ melodic potential while stretching the boundaries of rhythm. “When ‘Alabama’ came out it was (during) the civil rights movement, and we’re still dealing with the same issues.”

In their take on the classic piece, Garrison, 45, updates the rhythm section climax by stretching out and amping up the electronic

tones and textures he’s otherwise restrained just below the surface.

Coltrane, 50, delivers a plaintive take on his dad’s famous part in a distinct voice. DeJohnette, meanwhile, propels the song.

The tune’s revitalized reference to history, both political and personal, reflects how the band approaches working together.

Though he speaks in glowing terms of Coltrane and Garrison’s musical development through the years, DeJohnette says this music is about the present.

“There really is no past, present or future — everything happens right now,” he says. “You have to be in the moment and be conscious of that to play improvised music and to live your life in a way that can dance and is flexible.”

If flexibility is the goal, In Movement more than meets it. The material ranges from an homage to Rashied Ali featuring Coltrane on the very high-register sopranino to an Earth, Wind & Fire cover that makes funky use of Garrison’s often thickly textured loops, samples and electric bass.

The inventive title track, which showcases the band’s knack for pushing one another forward, is a standout.

“Our whole feeling about playing music is that we’re all sensitive to what’s going on,” DeJohnette says. “Through the power of the music and the intentions that we have in recording it, we hope the music would send out an energy that would help to heal some of the imbalances in the planet.”

Working with musicians he considers family has more tangible advantages, too.

“The music is a sort of home base where we can experiment and have dialogues, musically and personally, to try and help one another grow as human beings,” he says. “I think that’s what I’ve learned from them.”

4:30-7

Pearl Jam ACURA STAGE After a two-year break from touring, Pearl Jam is hitting festivals including Bonnaroo, Pemberton Music Festival and Jazz Fest. The band’s 10 albums include its most recent release, 2013’s Lightning Bolt, and the catalog ranges from classics such as “Even Flow” off 1991’s Ten to more recent hits like “The Fixer” off 2009’s Backspacer.

Its grunge rock sound is packed with big, heavy guitar riffs beneath Eddie Vedder’s voice, which hasn’t aged a day since the band formed in 1990. Vedder doesn’t seem to hold a grudge against the city for his 1993 arrest in the French Quarter, a story he mentioned at a 2010 Jazz Fest appearance.

5:35-7

Maxwell CONGO SQUARE STAGE After his debut in the early 1990s, Maxwell’s soaring falsetto quickly established him as an artist to watch. As opposed to the avant-garde D’Angelo and the more traditional Anthony Hamilton, Maxwell offers audiences sensual funk- and soul-tinged R&B. He was scheduled to release the second album in a trilogy in 2012, but it was postponed due to vocal swelling.

In 2016, new music arrives July 1 in the form of BlackSUMMERS’night.

Maxwell released the album’s first single “Lake By the Ocean,” which he described in a live online Q&A as finding contentment in life’s smaller moments. “Being content in a lake when you have an entire ocean near you is the epitome of true happiness.” It

sets the stage for a new chapter in Maxwell’s repertoire.

5:40-7

Boz Scaggs BLUES TENT Boz Scaggs was was born in Ohio, but his family moved to Texas and Oklahoma, where his musical sensibility formed. Although he rose to fame as the guitarist on the Steve Miller Band’s first two albums, Scaggs was never meant to be a side player. He became a legend in his own right after going solo in the mid-1970s. His second album, Silk Degrees, featured four hits, including the light-funk track “Lowdown,” which showcased vocals reminiscent of Aaron Neville. While his work has shifted with each decade, Scaggs’ most recent sound has taken on a darker, jazzier quality. His most recent album, 2015’s A Fool to Care, contains more complex arrangements than his previous work.

5:40-6:55

Van Morrison GENTILLY STAGE Even though he’s been performing since the early 1960s, 70-year-old Van Morrison hasn’t slowed down.

In 2015, he released his 35th studio album, Duets: Re-working the Catalogue, which offered fans a new take on some of his most beloved songs. Listeners may be most familiar with his early major hits “Brown Eyed Girl,” “Moondance,” “Into the Mystic” and “Wild Night,” but beyond those oft-requested songs, Morrison has an immense repertoire that has evolved and grown with time. The Grammy Award-winning musician has been a fan favorite for some time.

ans music. His father, Wardell Quezergue, created the brilliant arrangements heard on Earl King’s “Trick Bag,” Professor Longhair’s “Big Chief,” The Dixie Cups’ “Chapel of Love,” Robert Parker’s “Barefootin’” Jean Knight’s “Mr. Big Stuff,” King Floyd’s “Groove Me,” Dr. John’s Goin’ Back to New Orleans album and many other classics.

Quezergue followed his father’s footsteps into composing and arranging. He writes at the piano, but his principle focus is bass — fourstring fretless bass and six-string fretted bass.

Quezergue has recorded one album so far, and the all-instrumental Reflections contains elegant, even spiritual, contemporary jazz.

“That’s my original music,” the musician and music educator says between classes at Phillis Wheatley Community School. “It’s all coming from inside of me, from my experience.”

The birth of Quezergue’s son inspired the mystical Reflections track “Seed of Life.” His wife sparked the lyrical “Shyvette.” For the especially songful “Emelda,” a tribute to his mother, he climbs into the extreme upper register of his fretless bass.

“The fretless bass sings,” he says.

“It’s difficult to play it in tune, but worth it to hear that lyrical quality.”

Lately, he has been exploring melodic ideas in the bass’ lower and midrange.

“The instrument sounds beautiful in every register,” he says.

And moving between fretless and fretted bass offers him two distinctive musical worlds, both of which he loves.

In addition to gigging with his own group and being an on-call bassist for trumpeter James Andrews, vocalist Stephanie Jordan and others, Quezergue teaches pre-K through fourth grade in the Firstline Schools charter school network. For the past 22 years, he has performed Sundays at St. Peter Claver Catholic Church under the direction of local gospel mainstay Veronica Downs-Dorsey.

SATURDAY, APRIL 23 Z ATARAIN’ S/ W WOZ JA ZZ TENT

For his own gigs and studio work, the bassist strives to surround himself with musicians he respects and admires.

“I get something out of that,” he says. “It’s not, ‘I’m the leader! Look at me!’ Sometimes, like the other night at Snug Harbor, one musician may pull the thing in another direction. If everyone drops the ego and follows the music, it becomes an adventure.

“That’s what I’m hoping people see in our Jazz Fest set. I want the audience to walk away with a holistic experience that’s bigger than any one instrument and person.”

Quezergue seemingly was destined to play the essential rhythm-section instrument.

“When I would go to the studio with my dad, I always loved to see the music come together from scratch, from the rhythm tracks,” he says.

His father died in 2011 at 81.

“He was a genius,” Quezergue says. “In his lifetime, he definitely did not enjoy the monetary fruit of his labor. But that was not as important as the work, because he left a legacy. Once you pass, the work you put out in the air, that’s more important than money.”

BLUES TENT New Orleans’ dapper elder statesman of the blues, Little Freddie King personifies the raw and storied qualities of the genre, and not many bluesmen can boast of being shot multiple times by multiple women. Born just above the state line in McComb, Mississippi in 1940, King finger-picked alongside his guitarist father during childhood.

Eventually, he rode the rails to New Orleans, where he jammed with titans including John Lee Hooker and Bo Diddley when they visited the city. He combines gut-bucket electric guitar work

and storyteller showmanship to keep audiences’ hips shaking to tunes like “Crack Head Joe” deep into monthly Saturday night shows at the befitting juke-joint setting of BJ’s Lounge in the 9th Ward.

12:55-2:10

GENTILLY STAGE In March, the local indie-pop quintet Royal Teeth dropped the single “Kids Conspire,” which aptly addresses its children-of-all-ages appeal. It features the twenty-something band’s driving drums, wavy synth, fast-strumming guitars and huge hooks as it explores an uplifting, bouncy musical terrain. “Kids Conspire” may make its way onto an upcoming album, a follow-up to Royal Teeth’s 2013 debut Glow, highlighted by fan-favorite “Wild.”

The band was formed when Joshua Wells, Gary Larsen, Josh Hefner and Thomas Onebane met in Lafayette and Baton Rouge and converged in New Orleans in 2010. Here, they discovered the final piece of the puzzle: Nora Patterson, who excels as a songwriter, vocalist and performer.

Leyla McCalla LAGNIAPPE STAGE New Orleans should be proud that the organic-yet-otherworldly talent Leyla McCalla chose to call it home. But not many cities could nurture a blossoming artist born in New York of Haitian heritage.

She’s also following a rarified muse: traditional Cajun and Creole styles (with Haitian influences as well) infused with jazz and folk and informed by an astute social conscience. She refined her delicate percussive style of playing cello by hand and bow as a touring member of the now defunct Carolina Chocolate Drops.

McCalla moved to New Orleans in 2013, the same year she released her debut Vari-Colored Songs: A Tribute to Langston Hughes (the London Sunday Times’ Album of the Year). Late last month, the soul-stirring video for “A Day for the Hunter, A Day for the Prey” arrived as a delicious tease of a title-track for an album slated for May release on Jazz Village.

It also features stellar Louisiana musicians from Louis Michot to

4:10-5:25 Herbie Hancock & Wayne Shorter Duo ZATARAIN’S/WWOZ JAZZ TENT This rare pairing is the stuff of Jazz Fest dreams. Intimately intertwined since the 1960s as players in Miles Davis’ Second Great Quintet (and the 1970s, when the two icons settled in Los Angeles and shared Buddhist practice), composer/ pianist Herbie Hancock teamed up with composer/saxophonist Wayne Shorter in 1997 to create the acclaimed duet album 1+1.

They toured briefly in support of it in 1998 but have largely neglected the project since then.

Hancock, 76, is now sanctified in the genre — as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, he ushered in the inaugural International Jazz Day at sunrise in Congo Square (his choice) during Jazz Fest 2012 by leading aspiring music students in his timeless epic “Watermelon Man.” Recent performances have shown Hancock capable of grooving on keyboards as proficiently as on his landmark Fat Albert Rotunda (1970) album. Shorter distinguished himself with the 1966 landmark Speak No Evil (Blue Note). He’s 82 and last year admit-

ted having reduced lung capacity, but he still seeks to reinvent his music during every performance.

4:15-5:30 Taj Mahal Trio SHERATON NEW ORLEANS FAIS DO-DO STAGE Born Henry St. Clair Fredericks Jr. in Harlem in 1942 to a gospel-singing mother and jazz-composing father, Taj Mahal is among the most inventive blues/roots musicians of the 20th century. After forming counter-culture precursor the Rising Sons with Ry Cooder in California in 1964, Taj put the rock world on notice in 1968 with his breakout performance in The Rolling Stones’ film Rock and Roll Circus, a psychedelic spectacle where he mesmerized with both voice and fashion in delivering “Ain’t that alot of Love.” Self-taught as a singer, songwriter and guitar/ piano/banjo/harmonica play-

er, he penned cult-classic tunes such as “She Caught the Katy” and “Lovin’ in My Baby’s Eyes.”

Maintaining a busy global touring schedule, he returns to Jazz Fest for a mostly acoustic set with his trio.

Transcendent young troubadours in the tradition of Gram Parsons, The Kid Carsons clearly prefer life on the road in their van Evangeline to the studio, but they continue to work on a follow-up to their 2013 debut EP, Settle Down.

Red Hot Chili Peppers ACURA STAGE The Red Hot Chili Peppers owe New Orleans a raging, red-hot, funked-up rock show for the band’s first gig at Jazz Fest. Why? Because frontman Anthony Kiedis sported New Orleans Saints gear when the team was mocked as the Aints.

Because matured madman bassist Flea owns a groove inspired by George Porter Jr.’s deep pocket play. Because “Sir Pyscho Sexy” was recorded on Esplanade Avenue at Kingsway Studio.

Because a sold-out 2012 show in the then-named New

Breaux Mart is family-owned and has been open for more than 40 years. Employees make a point to remember the names of regulars’ children. Both Breaux and Jen Doyle, manager of the Magazine Street location, value the familial vibe.

“It’s very tight-knit,” Doyle says. “[The five managers] keep in close contact with each other.”

The staff does its best to fill customer requests for specialty items.

“If a customer calls or comes in (and wants something we don’t carry), we definitely try to get that

Falafull UPTOWN RESIDENTS WILL GET THEIR FILL OF MEDITERRANEAN FOOD when two new restaurants

open this spring at opposite corners of Magazine and Bordeaux streets.

Israeli spot Tal’s Hummus will open in May in the former McClure’s Barbecue space (4800 Magazine St.). Cater-corner to Tal’s, Mediterranean concept Shahrazad Cafe (4739 Magazine St.) is set to open in what was once the barbershop and salon Sade’s Amour.

Tal’s Hummus is owned by Tal Sharon, who until recently worked at French Quarter steakhouse Doris

N7 is a quaint French-inspired hideaway.

BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund LAST NOVEMBER, THERE WERE WHISPERS of a so-called “secret”

restaurant on the edge of the 9th Ward. The place doesn’t have a listed phone number or website. “New Restaurant N7 is so hipster not even Google can find it,” read the headline of one Reddit.com post.

N7 doesn’t seem like much of a secret anymore. Most nights when I visited the indoor-outdoor space tucked away on Montegut Street, it was packed with people. The word is out.

N7 isn’t a full-fledged restaurant.

It’s a charming bar that serves food — some of it good, some of it just OK. Inside the space, which once was a gas station, and before that a horse stable, the cement walls are decorated with vintage art posters and dusty mirrors. A petite distressed copper bar stands in front of a quaint selection of French wines and aperitifs, sake and shochu.

Service is delivered in a laissez-faire manner: friendly, casual and unapologetically inconsistent.

The kitchen runs out of dishes frequently, and servers tell diners that meals are not coursed; dishes arrive whenever they are ready.

The spot is named for the highway that snakes through the French countryside, connecting Parisians to the Cote d’Azur, French Riviera.

A lengthy selection of canned fish and seafood is a nod to the tinned standbys found in the roadside shacks and taverns that dot the French route. There is an impressive variety, including Portuguese sardines, smoked Washington State

oysters, Spanish scorpion fish pate and Surimi baby eels. But because most of the selections are imported, they don’t come cheap — most fall between $14 and $19.

The short bistro-style menu is predominantly French, punctuated with Japanese touches, such as delicately breaded pork katsu cutlets and thick pink strips of sake-cured salmon, which arrive atop creamy goat cheese on sturdy pieces of toast and flecked with cilantro. In a classic preparation of steak au poivre, pepper-crusted strips of medium-rare steak are fanned over a mound of potato puree.

It’s a simple, straightforward menu, but these aren’t overly exciting dishes. They are, however, comforting in their simplicity, which feels appropriate in the casual setting.

The best dishes are the ones in which Japanese and French influences join forces. Plump mussels arrive swimming in garlicky sake-infused broth dotted with scallions.

When accompanied by a bouquet of golden french fries and aioli, the dish mirrors classic French comfort

fare. The Iwashi sardine tartare is served brimming with onion slivers, capers and scallions. The fatty fish takes well to the brine, matching the salinity with a sweetness that marries the flavors, and the crunch of the capers and onions add texture. It is served with an herb-flecked crusty baguette to help sop up the delicious juices that gather at the bottom of the bowl.

The prime place to cap an evening at N7 is in the courtyard, where rows of pendant lights dangle over the tables, imbuing a touch of romance. On warmer nights, there might be the faint scent of jasmine and a cool breeze, enough to charm almost anyone into visiting this place again.

Metropolitan (620 Chartres St., 504267-3500; www.dorismetropolitan. com). Sharon first met that restaurant’s part-owner Doris Rebi Chia while living in Costa Rica, where the flagship Doris Metropolitan restaurant is located. Sharon owned two restaurants in a small beach town and the two became friends, he says. Sharon relocated to New Orleans and began working in the bakery department of the French Quarter restaurant.

The Magazine Street spot will be his first solo venture in the city. The menu will feature a mix of Mediterranean standbys and classic Israeli dishes including hummus, stuffed pastries called burekas, vegetable and grain salads and house-baked pita bread.

“It’s going to be a paradise for vegetarians,” Sharon says, adding that 90 percent of the menu will be vegetable-based.

The owners of Shahrazad Cafe could not be reached for comment.

A sign on the building’s window indicates that Mediterranean food, including seafood, vegetarian dishes and breakfast, will be served. There is no word on when the new spot will open. — HELEN FREUND PAGE 54

Market refreshed TWO NEW FOOD VENDORS have

been added to the mix of food and beverage stalls at St. Roch Market (2381 St. Claude Ave., 504-6093813; www.strochmarket.com).

Fritai and T2 Streetfood replace Korean-Creole hybrid Koreole and the PDR, both of which departed the market in early April.

Fritai serves Haitian-inspired dishes and is the project of partners Charly Pierre and Eva Chereches. The couple recently moved to New Orleans from Boston.

Pierre is of Haitian descent and says their recipes are influenced by the traditional Haitian dishes he ate as a child.

“I’ve grown up with the culture — my mother cooked the same Haitian dinner every Sunday,” says Pierre, who in the past has worked both front and back of the house positions as a chef, server and restaurant manager and also dabbles in hip-hop music production.

“Growing up, we ate a lot of fried pork and fried plantains,” Pierre says. “We serve the pork with pikliz, which is a spicy relish with carrots and cabbage, Scotch bonnet peppers and some vinegar.”

Menu items include legumes, which Pierre related to a Southern preparation for collard greens.

It features smothered spinach and mirliton with carrots, cooked down with roasted pork shoulder.

There also are fried wings served with green onions, mango, Scotch bonnet peppers, and a take on red beans and rice cooked with pork broth and red kidney beans.

Fritai’s signature sandwich swaps out plantains for bread and includes avocado spread, roasted pork shoulder and pikliz garnish.

Tung Nguyen, whose family owns Thanh Thanh (131 Huey P. Long Ave., 504-368-8678; www. t2restaurant.com) in Gretna, runs T2, a Vietnamese street food-inspired concept. Its menu includes Vietnamese classics such as pho bowls made with beef eye round and a vegan version featuring tofu and vegetables, and banh mi filled with roasted pork belly, pate, aioli, pickled vegetables, jalapenos and spicy ponzu sauce. A vegetarian banh mi features fried tofu.

A selection of steamed bao includes a version made with roasted chicken, aioli and slaw and a vegetarian medley made with stir-fried mushrooms, cucumbers, pickled root vegetables, fried onions, cilantro and spicy ponzu.

There also are seafood roti, including a version called the Frank

Davis, which features seared redfish, Sriracha aioli and slaw.

Both vendors will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. — HELEN FREUND

Landmark dining FRENCH QUARTER INSTITUTION TUJAGUE’S (823 Decatur St., 504-

525-8676; www.tujaguesrestaurant.com) celebrates its 160th anniversary in May. The restaurant is planning a series of events throughout the year, including a special exhibit of artifacts and memorabilia at the Southern Food and Beverage Museum (1504 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., 504-5690405; www.natfab.org).

In a nod to the year of the restaurant’s founding, an $18.56 three-course lunch special will be offered beginning in May. There is a choice of seafood gumbo or fried oyster wedge salad for a starter. Entrees include Gulf oyster and shrimp courtbouillon served over rice, filet mignon with garlic confit, potatoes and vegetables, or a shrimp, oyster or soft-shelled crab BLT po-boy. House wines, well cocktails, bloody marys and mimosas are $3 during the special.

Lab results DINNER LAB, THE NEW ORLEANS-BASED SUPPER CLUB, has

closed, the company announced on its website April 14: “It is with a very heavy heart that we have to tell you, but effective immediately, Dinner Lab will be suspending operations and halting events.”

The New Orleans-based startup launched three and a half years ago, hosting membership-based pop-up dinner parties in adapted spaces and quickly expanded to 30 cities across the country.

Last fall, in an effort to boost attendance at events, the company dropped its membership fee (depending on the city, diners had to pay an annual fee of $125 to $175 to be eligible to buy tickets to dinners).

What prompted the sudden shutter isn’t clear, though the company’s message hinted at financial woes.

“We put every ounce of our energy into developing a product that you wanted to engage with regularly, but we weren’t able to turn the corner on creating a profitable enough enterprise to support our ambitions,” the letter said. — HELEN FREUND

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Titus Perkins EXECUTIVE KITCHEN MANAGER AT 16 YEARS OLD, TITUS PERKINS HAD A CRIMINAL RECORD and worked a 5 a.m. jockey shift in

the kitchen at the Fair Grounds Race Course. He made a good impression and went on to work for Ralph Brennan as a dishwasher, making $4.50 an hour. Twenty-two years later, Perkins is the executive kitchen manager at Brennan’s New Orleans, where he oversees operations while acting as a mentor and motivating entry-level staff and young applicants to the restaurant. On April 12, Perkins was awarded the National Restaurant Association’s Faces of Diversity Award, which honors professionals who exemplify diversity, leadership and achievement. Perkins spoke with Gambit about the challenges he overcame.

: What are some of the biggest obstacles you’ve overcome?

PERKINS: Just being myself, because I come from a different background. My grandmother was handicapped, and I was raised by her. I was a street person, doing things that a teenager wasn’t supposed to be doing.

It was a transition — working — but somebody took a chance on me. When I first started … I reminded myself so much of the people that we see coming in now. That’s why I like to help them — because someone took a chance on me, with the way that I looked. When I first started, I had a mouth full of gold teeth; I had the bad attitude.

The chef who is the corporate chef now (Haley Bittermann) took a chance on me; she took a chance on a knucklehead. She saw something in me that I couldn’t even see in myself.

: What are the greatest challenges to young entrylevel restaurant workers?

P: Everybody that’s young and wants to work — they want to be rich overnight. They want to be millionaires overnight. You can’t become a millionaire overnight.

You have to work for it. I started out making $4.25 an hour and I’m way past that now, but that didn’t happen overnight. That was hard work, putting in extra hours, not wanting to go home — showing the chef that I didn’t want to go home.

I can’t say all young people, but some young people just don’t have that drive. They just want to be rich overnight and that just doesn’t happen. That’s a fool’s dream. You work one shift and you’re rich? You have to put in the work, and you

still might not be rich, but you can live a very comfortable life. I have two kids in college and I’m a single parent. It can be done.

There are a lot of people throughout the years who were coming in and didn’t know how to fill out a job application, or didn’t even know how to dress for a job. So I started a process of helping people that come in — showing them the proper way to fill out their application, show them the proper way to dress and the proper way to conduct themselves. Some people just don’t know. Even if I don’t hire them, they still leave with the knowledge of what to do better next time, at the next place.

: How can restaurants help bridge the achievement gap and help workers?

P: I don’t know about a lot of other places, but for the Ralph Brennan Restaurant Group, everybody that I hire, I tell (them) that being a dishwasher is the first step. All you have to do is put in the work. We have dishwashers that might work here for about six months, and if they’re doing a good job, they get promoted to cook and then go from there. This is one company that pushes, really pushes for people that work inside the company.

It’s about a dream of not being stuck in the position that you’re in.

If you give people the opportunity to move, it stops turnover and it gives a people a better living wage in New Orleans. That, and the insight to take care of their family and their community. Maybe if other restaurants gave that insight to people who wanted to move up that would bring a different attitude. — HELEN FREUND

OUR TAKE

NEW YORK IS MANY THINGS TO ELEANOR FRIEDBERGER: ADOPTED HOME, ADULT PLAYGROUND, SEVERAL STATES OF MIND. Escaping the city on New View (Frenchkiss) — she decamped upstate to write and record this third solo LP — the former Fiery Furnace uses the rural rest of New York as so many other artists have: for breathing room and some necessary isolation to stoke near-extinguished coals. There’s a weariness here that can be read either as a contrast to or an inevitable outcome of her recent jauntiness. Last Summer and Personal Record both felt breathless and impervious to their own pain, even on deep cuts like “I Won’t Fall Apart on You Tonight” and “I’ll Never Be Happy Again.” Alone in the silence, she lets it bleed: pleading, “Sweet girl with the broken heart / Stop crying so I won’t start”; swearing, “Even if you have a twin / I wouldn’t notice her or him”; imploring, “Listen to my old songs / Two versions of tomorrow.” Her archness as her brother’s muse in the Fiery Furnaces has melted, her status as a pedestaled Venus — first to Spoon’s Britt Daniel (“Anything You Want”), then to Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos (“Eleanor Put Your Boots On”) — at once downgraded and elevated by the intimacy of human revelation. “Why would you want to take it slow / Hold me till I let you go / Or treat me like a tennis pro?” she teases, before filling in the blanks with her song’s repeating, titular hook: “Because I Asked You.” Har Mar Superstar and Icewater open. Tickets $13.

FILM

Everybody Wants Some!!

IF MODESTY REMAINS A VIRTUE in the crass, celebrity-driven pop culture of 2016, then Austin, Texas-based filmmaker Richard Linklater may be in line for sainthood. From studio-driven movies • Directed by Richard Linklater like Bad News Bears and School of Rock • Starring Blake Jenner, to fiercely independent films such as Slacker and Tape, Linklater’s career adds Juston Street, Ryan Guzman up to a uniquely humanist, ego-free zone and Tyler Hoechlin of creativity. There’s a warm, unhurried • Limited release quality to each of his films that suggests there’s meaning in the stuff of everyday life if we would only take time to see it.

Nowhere is that perspective more pronounced than in Linklater’s occasional, loosely autobiographical films. His third feature, 1993’s Dazed and Confused, put the director on the map for good with a funny and true-to-life recreation of high school in mid-1970s, suburban Texas. Linklater’s 2014 six-time Oscar-nominated Boyhood compacted 12 years in the life of its young protagonist to reveal simple truths only accessible through the lens of time.

Officially described as the “spiritual sequel” to Dazed and Confused, Everybody Wants Some!! returns to small-town Texas for its main character’s freshman year at college in 1980. Like the earlier film, it conjures a specific time and place with loving precision in tems of physical details, from absurdly short shorts to the glories of wood-paneled rec rooms to each character’s soul-baring collection of vinyl records. More important, it distills the essence of that era, at least as experienced by those enjoying adult freedoms for the first time while away at college. In narrative terms, nothing much happens in Everybody Wants Some!! — but that is central to its charms.

The story begins with the arrival of freshman Jake Bradford (Blake Jenner) at two off-campus houses serving as home to fictional Southeast Texas State University’s nationally ranked baseball team. It’s the final weekend before classes start, and Jake and his new teammates are primed to make the most of it.

As suggested by the title of the film (taken from a Van Halen song of the time with double exclamation-points intact), the boys spend most of their time pursuing girls — at least when they’re not engaging in pointless competition, bonding as brothers or hitting the bong with unbridled gusto. Their thoughtless male entitlement wouldn’t last 10 minutes on a campus today. But their innocence contrasts sharply with the cynicism and misogyny found in many current Hollywood bro comedies.

Linklater’s filmmaking skills have improved substantially over the 23 years since he made Dazed and Confused. The characters are far more distinctive, and individual scenes are expertly paced to keep viewers engaged. A strong ensemble cast features several first-time actors and contributes mightily to the film’s appeal.

There’s bit more nostalgia than in most of Linklater’s work, but that’s to be expected of a 55-year-old director looking back to his youth for the substance of a film.

One thing that hasn’t changed is Linklater’s gift for using period music to bring depth and emotional vibrancy to his films. The soundtrack features songs of every imaginable type — ranging from Pat Benatar to Stiff Little Fingers — all perfectly married to individual scenes.

A sequence in which the boys exchange well-executed verses of Sugar Hill Gang’s proto-hip-hop classic “Rapper’s Delight” ranks among the film’s best, in part because it goes on far longer than most filmmakers would allow. The scene recalls a time when era-defining music was shared by just about everyone, building community and connectedness that now seems lost to the ages. Everybody wants some, indeed. — KEN KORMAN

OUR TAKE

Richard Linklater scores with an entertaining return to campus in 1980.

Studio BE

artist, activist and music video producer transformed the Florida housing development in the Through May 9th Ward into a massive collaborative graffiti venue. He called it Project BE, and while it was Studio BE: Murals Inspired by off-limits to the public, photos of its vividly the civil rights movement by painted walls circulated widely on social media Brandan Odums and beyond. In 2014, he undertook Exhibit BE, a more accessible transformation of a sprawling, Studio BE, 2941 Royal St., abandoned West Bank housing complex that drew thousands of visitors to its public events.

(504) 330-6231; Now his 2016 Studio BE metamorphosis of a www.brandanodums.com 30,000 square foot Bywater warehouse into an eloquent ad hoc civil and human rights museum reveals a degree of depth and nuance far beyond his earlier efforts. Although rendered with the typical graffiti medium of spray paint, his vision owes much to social realism and pop art — an unusually art-historical orientation that should come as no surprise considering Odums is a New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts alum.

Some images are painted directly on the rough warehouse walls, while more finely finished works appear on wall-size panels. I Am the Greatest depicts Muhammad Ali duking it out in the ring paired with a cutaway of the boxer confronted by cops in a street protest.

Prelude to Love (pictured) features Eldridge Cleaver’s image overlaying excerpts from his letter to Beverly Axelrod in a work illustrating the remarkably contemplative nature of this exhibit. In evocative portraits of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, John Lennon and the Dalai Lama — and young black or white kids rendered with the glow of Russian Orthodox icons — Odums conveys wonder and perplexity at life in America today. Invoking the ephemerality of the daily news cycle leavened with a belief in the timeless power of love, Studio BE is a massive, if temporary, monument to art’s capacity for healing and transcendence in this often turbulent place and time. — D.

JAKE BULLOCK HAS LIVED THROUGH THE CIVIL WAR, survived the stock market crash of 1929 and observed the birth of the Internet. Born in 1796, his life spans centuries, but he stopped physically aging in his thirties. He doesn’t know how it happened, but it’s allowed him to witness most of our nation’s history. He recounts his story in Choosing A Hat Productions’ Ancient Jake, recently presented at The Fortress of Lushington in Faubourg Marigny.

James Patrick is an engaging and likable actor, and as Jake, he sits in an armchair and talks directly to the audience in an easy manner. Jake has lived a nomadic lifestyle, finding work in big Northern cities and small Southern towns. He meanders through nearly two centuries of occupations including bus driver, bartender and stints in the military as well as time in prison for accidentally urinating on the president of Princeton University.

Mason Joiner’s show draws from historical and personal drama. Jake talks about landmark historical events and has seen all his friends die. He’s had to restart his life several times to keep people from realizing he doesn’t age. But Jake doesn’t have many strong opinions and is frequently unfazed by the events he recounts.

Solo shows and monologue pieces — especially when the actor doesn’t play different characters — require the performer to vary the narrative’s energy to hold the audience’s attention. Ancient Jake takes great care to acknowledge certain historic events, but the commentary should have been pushed further. If Jake had more fire in his opinions or seemed to change over time, the 80-minute show would have felt more urgent.

A floor lamp provides the main source of light and Jake mostly stays seated.

There’s a small stereo on a table and Jake sings snippets to make transitions or punctuate his stories. The bare set reflects how Jake lives his life.

One of the most engaging anecdotes is Jake’s love affair with a woman nicknamed Pete. He met her during Prohibition, and the two lived together. Pete is one of a few people he told about his extended life, but she didn’t believe him at first.

This love story sounds like a Nicholas Sparks novel (Message in a Bottle, The Notebook), exploring love and how people take care of each other as time passes.

Tackling 220 years in a one-person show is ambitious; a narrower focus might have been more entertaining. Ancient Jake is most engaging when the story focuses on the personal and what keeps Jake going. — TYLER GILLESPIE
