seven things to do in seven days

Unknown Mortal Orchestra | It’s impos-

sible to mention Ruban Nielson’s Unknown Mortal Orchestra without mentioning “So Good at Being in Trouble,” the beacon on sophomore LP II. Such is the blessing and curse of writing one of the catchiest, most guileless tracks of 2013. Twin Peaks opens this free show at 4 p.m. at Tulane University’s Lavin-Bernick Center Quad.

Swing in the Oaks

Tue. April 21 | The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra performs a free concert featuring a mix of classical pieces, the “Muppet Medley,” “Stars and Stripes Forever” and more. From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the Goldring/Woldenberg Great Lawn in New Orleans City Park.

Peter Hook & The Light

Wed. April 22 | Peter Hook’s bass defined the sound of Joy Division and New Order as much as Ian Curtis’ Dracula baritone and Bernard Sumner’s angular guitars. Hook left New Order in 2007, and with his band The Light has performed New Order albums in full. On tour, the band performs Joy Division’s influential albums Closer and Unknown Pleasures. At 9 p.m. at Republic New Orleans.

Bill Burr

Thu. April 23 | On I’m Sorry You Feel That Way, Bill Burr’s latest standup special, the comic admits he’s a moron. That doesn’t stop him from unleashing his unfiltered thoughts about the failures of our time, from population control (“85 percent of you have to go”) to dieting (“something has to DIE every day in order for me to live”). Burr is set to star in the Netflix animated series F Is For Family later this year. At 7 p.m. at the Saenger Theatre.

Doldrums

Thu. April 23 | Montreal’s Doldrums, aka Airick Woodhead, arrives in New Orleans in support of the April release The Air Conditioned Nightmare, a hypnotic and often haunting club-friendly debut on Sub Pop and follow up to 2013’s Lesser Evil. Moon King opens at 9 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

Swan Lake

Thu. April 23 | On its first tour of the U.S., Russia’s St. Petersburg State Ballet presents Tchaikovsky’s classic. In his version of the folktale, Siegfried falls in love with Odette, a young woman who is turned into a swan by a sorcerer, whose curse they must break to be together. At 7:30 p.m. at the Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts.

Benjamin Booker

Fri. April 24 | Apologies to everyone ready to anoint Virginia Beach native and naturalized New Orleanian Benjamin Booker the next Jack White or Stevie Ray Vaughan. Happy-feet jitterbugs “Always Waiting,” “Wicked Waters” and “Old Hearts,” from Booker’s self-titled 2014 ATO debut, tap-dance a different narrative. Yelephants and DJ Gris Gris open at 9 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.

heard any screams or gunshots coming from the house of the supposed victim — which she hadn’t.

Finally, Norton sent an armored vehicle up to the house, so that if there was someone determined to shoot at officers, the vehicle would protect them. Instead, the homeowner came out the front door and assured police that she was fine.

The homeowner did not seem afraid during the ordeal, the nearby resident said, only perplexed.

“She was as surprised as we all were, standing in a bathrobe,” the resident said.

As a final precaution, Norton sent a team into the house to check it for any threats. When they confirmed that there was no evidence any crime had occurred, Norton was confident in deeming the original call a hoax.

Although the entire police response took less than an hour, a prank such as this creates numerous problems, Norton said. First, it took about 20 officers away from their normal jobs — around half of them were charged with answering routine calls around the Second District, and the other half were from the Special Operations Division, which is used for proactive work.

Second, the urgency of the response demanded by such a call created what could have been a volatile situation for the residents of Broadway and Audubon streets, Norton said.

False police calls have led to tragedies elsewhere. In January, the police chief of a small town in Oklahoma was shot by a homeowner while the officer entered the homeowner’s residence in response to a similar fake call.

“It’s dangerous on our officers who are responding, because they’re believing there’s somebody in the house and shot and may need medical attention,” Norton said. “Now PAGE 8

Last week’s article “Exploring the St. Roch Market” drew plenty of comments about (shock!) gentrification: “20 year Marigny homeowner here.

Very happy to see this historic building so beautifully restored and becoming an active part of the community again.

However, and as much as I’m looking forward to trying all those new lunch options, I was hoping the market would be more of a ... well, market, and less of a glorified food court/brunch destination.”

man called the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) April 11 saying that he had shot a woman at their Broadway Street home and intended to shoot any officers who approached the house, prompting a major response from NOPD officers in an armored vehicle who shut down roads around the home while they investigated.

The call turned out to be a hoax; the resident of the house emerged to tell officers she was fine and unharmed, and mystified why someone would make such a call. But her daughter, who studies Internet harassment, believes the prank was directed at her as part of a new but quickly growing form of online abuse spreading dangerously into real life.

The New Orleans Police Department received the call Saturday night on a non-emergency line, with a male caller telling the dispatcher that he had shot his girlfriend at a home in the 300 block of Broadway, said Commander Bobby Norton of the NOPD Special Operations Division at a meeting last week of NOPD ranking officers.

“He says he just shot his girlfriend and killed her, and any police that approaches the house, he’s going to kill them,” Norton said. “He gave a specific address on the house.”

Norton and Second District Commander Paul Noel had officers surround the house and close down the streets near it, but directed them not to approach the home itself. Meanwhile, Norton began researching the address and discovered that there was no history of domestic abuse or other violent crime calls there, suggesting the call might have been false.

“We started to kind of believe that it was going to be a bogus complaint, but obviously we can’t treat it as a bogus complaint,” Norton said.

One neighbor said she went outside around 10 p.m. to wait for a cab to the French Quarter, but instead found a police officer in tactical gear. He asked if she was OK, then if she had

you’ve got all the officers responding, which is putting the officers in danger, and putting the citizens in danger.”

Another Broadway resident said he faced the possible danger firsthand during the incident. Around 10 p.m., he got a text from a neighbor asking why so many police were in the neighborhood. He looked outside, didn’t see any officers and walked outside with a flashlight to investigate. A few steps down the street, the resident said, he was confronted by an armed SWAT officer who told him to put his hands up and questioned him to determine he wasn’t the caller.

“For a prank call, somebody needs to pay the price,” the man said. “The scary thing about it was ... I could have been shot.”

Fake SWAT calls have become increasingly common in some Internet communities, where it is known as “swatting.” In one of the most highly publicized incidents, a group of videogame players broadcasting their gaming session live were the target of a hoax call in suburban Denver, and thrown to the ground by responding officers in full view of their web cameras, broadcasting the incident over the Internet. Some who have criticized the portrayal of women in video games have been among the most common targets of swatting.

The daughter of the victim of Saturday’s hoax no longer lives in New Orleans, but studies online harassment and has spoken

publicly against it. While she has communicated online with some of the victims of high-profile cases, she never has been a target of it, nor a target of the anonymous Internet groups associated with the practice.

After learning of the prank at her former home in New Orleans, the victim’s daughter said she scoured the Internet message

then — after police were assembled around the location — called the store posing as an emergency responder and gave the people inside instructions that could have provoked police into using force.

“This is a trend,” the victim’s daughter said. “This is a digital abuse tactic that online harassers victimize people with.”

Supporters of those who have been outspoken in criticism of the portrayal of women in video games have been among the most common targets of swatting. boards where such incidents are usually planned, but did not find a mention of her name or address. Still, it’s a clear case of swatting, and her own affiliations with the study of online harassment are too strong a connection to ignore, she said. “This is the general pattern of swatting — calling in a false, violence-based report to trick the SWAT team into being deployed,” the victim’s daughter said.

In the most severe cases, the hoax callers have even tried to create circumstances that could lead to tragedy. Last month, a hoax caller in New Jersey told police about a hostage situation at a game store and

New Orleans police have been unable to trace the number from which the Broadway Street call was made, but continue to investigate. In the short term, Norton said, there is no way to prevent similar hoaxes; police have to respond carefully and appropriately when threats are reported to them.

“The only thing that we can do is backtrack and hopefully find out who does this and have them arrested,” Norton said.

Swatting pranks have led to jail time in other jurisdictions, such as Orange County, Calif., where a 19-year-old hacker from Washington state was sentenced to three years in prison for a similar false

report. In New Jersey, State Assemblyman Paul Moriarty has introduced legislation that would increase penalties for swatting incidents above those already in place for false reports. After media reports about his proposed legislation, Moriarty himself was the target of a swatting call at his home on the same day the incident occurred in New Orleans.

The Uptown victim’s daughter said that people who believe they could be the targets of swatting should call their local police departments before anything happens, and ask the call to be documented at the house.

That way, if they are the target of a hoax, the police can find that information among the location’s call history, and possibly respond with the same restraint Norton’s team used at her mother’s address.

Likewise, the victim said, the NOPD has the opportunity to use Saturday’s incident as the basis for more training to prevent tragedy the next time such a prank occurs in the city.

“This could make some waves and raise actual awareness, meaning that the police force will be aware and ready to react to swatting as a prank and take preventive measures,” she said.

Adley files 27 bills dealing with budget and taxes

10

State lawmakers enter the second week of the legislative session with no clear consensus on to how to solve the state’s looming $1.6 billion budget hole, but they do have many possible budget-balancing tools at their disposal. Scores of bills have been filed offering alternatives for either cutting expenses or raising revenues.

If there were a prize for suggesting the most potential solutions, it would go to state Sen. Robert Adley, R-Benton, hands down. As of late last week, the veteran, term-limited senator has filed at least 27 bills dealing with budgeting and taxation.

Some of Adley’s measures are aimed at long-term fixes, such as proposed constitutional amendments that would repeal the inventory tax (Senate Bill 85) and the property tax on stored natural gas (SB 177), dedicate portions of the Transportation Trust Fund (SB 123), scale back the industrial tax exemption starting in 2017 (SB 125), and combine the so-called Rainy Day Fund with the Transportation Trust Fund (SB 202).

Adley also proposes some immediate solutions in the form of “veto-proof” concurrent resolutions that would suspend for one year all exemptions and exclusions from the state income tax (SCR 2), severance

taxes (SCR 3), corporate income and franchise taxes (SCR 4), sales taxes (SCR 5) and certain excise taxes (SCR 6). In other bills, Adley proposes to limit application of historic and film tax credits (SB 266), limit income and franchise deductions for corporations (SB 269 and 270) and otherwise scale back deductions and tax credits.

Other much-discussed revenue and budget bills include: • Rep. Kirk Talbot, R-River Ridge, has filed several bills to scale back tax credits, repeal certain taxes and eliminate budget dedications. His House Bill 238 would repeal the inventory tax, and his HB 454 would repeal the remainder of the solar energy tax credit. His most talked-about bill, however, is HB 762, which would eliminate many statutory budget dedications and allow lawmakers to prioritize budgetary line items every year.

• Talbot’s most far-reaching proposal could be his HB 495, which rewrites the rules on the state’s construction budget, otherwise known as the Capital Outlay Bill. For years governors have controlled the capital outlay process — and they have used it as leverage to make lawmakers toe the administration line. Talbot proposes to put the Legislature in control of that process. Given the amount of legislative discontent with Gov. Bobby Jindal — and given that this is Jindal’s final year in office — this bill could gain some traction.

• Rep. John Schroder, R-Covington, has filed HB 523, a proposed constitutional amendment that would eliminate many budget mandates and dedications presently enshrined in the state Constitution. The bill is a companion of sorts to Talbot’s HB 762; both would put a lot of sacred cows “in play” every budget season.

That has made Schroder and Talbot the targets of a lot of powerful special interests.

• Sen. J.P. Morrell has filed SB 196, which likewise is a constitutional amendment that would eliminate many revenue dedications. Morrell’s measure would preserve the dedication for coastal restoration because it is tied to federal revenue sharing.

Jindal doubles down on HB 707 IBM slams the Marriage and Conscience Act

Gov. Bobby Jindal last week doubled down on his support for House Bill 707, aka the Marriage and Conscience Act, filed by state Rep. Mike Johnson, R-Bossier City. Critics say

it’s a clone of controversial “religious freedom” bills that have stirred controversy in Indiana and Arkansas — except critics say Johnson’s bill has even more troublesome language regarding samesex married couples.

The bill got off to a bumpy start in the Legislature, with state Senate President John Alario, R-Westwego, saying, “It puts Louisiana in a light of hatred and bigotry and discrimination.”

State Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, D-New Orleans, walked out of the House Chamber when Jindal brought it up in his Opening Day address.

HB 707 initially was returned to the House calendar instead of being assigned to a committee on the first day of the session. The next day it was assigned to the House Civil Law committee, which is chaired by state Rep. Neil Abramson, D-New Orleans.

(Abramson did not return a request for comment by press time.)

Jindal insists the law is not about discrimination, but rather prohibiting the state from enacting punitive measures against people who act, in the words of the proposed law, “in accordance with a religious belief or moral conviction about the institution of marriage.” Asked at a press conference April 16 if any punitive measures have been imposed here, Jindal said they

liminary report by President Barack Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. “The chief is reviewing the report,” NOPD spokesman Tyler Gamble told Gambit. “It’s too soon to respond to the recommendations of the task force … [but] training is high on the chief’s list.”

Formed in December after mass protests against police shootings of young black men in Ferguson, Missouri, New York City and elsewhere, Obama gave his 11-member commission 90 days to produce initial recommendations to reduce crime and bridge (in the panel’s words) “the police/citizen divide.” The panel’s 109page interim report, published March 1, contains sweeping recommendations, ranging from “empathy” training to helping police peacefully resolve encounters with the mentally ill and the creation of separate national data banks on police deadly force and police line-of-duty injuries.

Retired NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas and Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand submitted testimony to the panel. Serpas, who teaches at Loyola University at New Orleans, spoke as an advisor to a Chicago nonprofit advocating that violence be treated as a disease.

“Serpas recommended training on the effects of violence not only on the community and individual victims but also on police officers themselves, noting that exposure to violence can make individuals more prone to violent behavior,” the interim report states. Normand and four other witnesses submitted written testimony in February, advocating police leadership training, starting with recruits and continuing through “online leadership and character development.”

Harrison has twice traveled to Washington in recent weeks to participate in White House workshops on police body cameras and public access to police data. U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan, who oversees the NOPD’s federal consent decree, recently said the department is “ahead of the curve” on police body cameras.

Meanwhile, Jindal received a letter last week from IBM’s top Louisiana official expressing the company’s “strong opposition” to HB 707. “IBM has made significant investments in Louisiana including most recently a technology services delivery center in Baton Rouge, creating new jobs for Louisiana workers,” wrote James M. Driesse, the company’s senior state executive.

IBM employs about 800 people in Baton Rouge. Jindal’s office quickly responded, saying the administration was sure IBM would be in favor of the legislation if the company knew what the bill truly was about.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu signed a ridesharing ordinance into law April 15, and one day later the San Francisco-based ridesharing app Uber began offering its UberX service in New Orleans. Uber’s local launch happened less than a week after company reps said Uber would not be able to operate under the ordinance’s legal restrictions.

Last year, Uber brought Uber Black, its luxury car service, to New Orleans, but the rides were expensive and frequently unavailable. The UberX service will compete directly with the existing taxicab industry.

Uber’s local general manager Tom Hayes told Gambit the company “determined that it was possible for us to launch UberX and begin providing ridesharing services through our platform, and we will continue to work closely with the council and the mayor’s office as we move forward on this effort.”

The ordinance doesn’t require Uber drivers to have special licenses, though traditional cab drivers must have a chauffeur’s license. A driver for a Transportation Network Company (TNC), the new class designated for digitally based hail apps, would need to pass a background check but would not be required to complete a fingerprint check — both of which are required of cab drivers.

TNC vehicles also don’t need commercial license plates, though the city requires taxis to have them.

Michael Masserman, the director of government relations for another ridesharing company, Lyft, which also had a presence at City Council meetings, told Gambit that there would be “potentially overly burdensome litigation costs and insurance measures that have been legislated ahead of or before the private sector.” No word yet whether Lyft will follow Uber’s lead and begin operating in New Orleans. — JEANIE RIESS

thinking out loud

Political misdirection

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > APRIL 21 > 2015

agicians call it misdirection — getting an audience to look in one place so people don’t see what you’re doing somewhere else. Politicians likewise are good at getting people to focus on the mouse in the corner instead of the elephant in the middle of the room.

Gov. Bobby Jindal is no Penn & Teller, but he attempted some mighty misdirection last week in his opening day address to the Louisiana Legislature.

It was Jindal’s last such speech, and the elephant in the House Chamber was, of course, the $1.6 billion state budget hole.

Jindal certainly couldn’t dwell on that — his true legacy as governor — while he pretends to decide whether he’s running for president. Therefore, much of his 21-minute speech focused on three elements of misdirection: his already doomed rollback of inventory tax credit rebates, which he termed “corporate welfare”; his opposition to the Common Core educational standards; and the Louisiana Marriage and Conscience Act (House Bill 707), an unnecessary and divisive sideshow.

Let’s dispense with the misdirection.

• “Corporate welfare” — Since he became governor, Jindal and big business have enjoyed a cozy relationship. Now that he’s about to leave office, he suggests repeal-

14

ing the refundable portion of the state’s inventory tax credit — much to the chagrin of business interests. Jindal’s former allies rightly feel betrayed. The powerful Louisiana Association of Business & Industry calls the governor’s proposal a tax hike, as does U.S. Sen. David Vitter, a frequent Jindal critic who now wants the governor’s job. “If companies are getting checks from the taxpayer as opposed to paying taxes, then that is government spending that needs to be examined and reduced,” Jindal told lawmakers. He has a point, but his proposal is DOA unless the governor focuses more on Louisiana and less on Iowa and New Hampshire. Bottom line: Pushing a doomed idea does nothing to solve the state’s $1.6 billion budget hole.

• Common Core — It’s painfully obvious that Candidate Jindal doesn’t get people’s blood racing, so he needs an issue that does.

Despite wide support from the business community and many educators, Common Core is wildly unpopular among many Republicans and some Democrats. Jindal would like everyone to forget that he once championed Common Core — and helped create it. This fight is another time-wasting distraction.

• “Religious freedom” — This issue wasn’t even on Jindal’s radar a month ago, but similar legislation in Indiana and Arkansas triggered fierce opposition from busi-

State Senate President John Alario Jr. called the 2015 legislative session to order April 13. That day, Gov. Bobby Jindal delivered his final “state of the state” address.

ness leaders who rightly opposed discriminating against or offending LGBT people.

Louisiana’s version of the bill, authored by state Rep. Mike Johnson, R-Bossier City, is even more contemptible. Mayor Mitch Landrieu and the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau oppose it, and State Rep. Walt Leger, D-New Orleans, called it “a perversion of the law” and “a waste of time

and ink.” We agree.

All three of Jindal’s talking points in his Opening Day address offend his former top allies in the business community, and all three are classic examples of political misdirection. The governor needs to focus on finding a workable way to fill the budget hole that he created — and leave the misdirection to the real magicians.

‘A real long shot’

isgraced former Mayor Ray Nagin was back in the news last week.

His new attorneys asked the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to grant Nagin a new trial, arguing that U.S. District Court Judge Ginger Berrigan gave jurors erroneous instructions on the “honest-services” wire fraud counts on which the former mayor was convicted.

Jurors convicted Nagin on 20 of 21 felony counts, including one count of conspiracy to commit honest-services wire fraud, five counts of bribery, one count of money laundering, four counts of filing false tax returns and nine counts of honest-services wire fraud. He currently is serving a 10-year prison sentence.

Nagin attorneys Claude J. Kelly and Jordan M. Siverd — of the federal public defenders office — face an uphill battle on behalf of the former mayor. Nagin’s trial attorney, Robert Jenkins, did not object to Berrigan’s jury instructions at the time they were given, which means Nagin now has to meet a higher standard of review before the ultra-conservative 5th Circuit.

In her jury instructions regarding the honest-services counts, Berrigan told jurors they should convict Nagin even if they found that he “would have lawfully performed the

official act in question even without having accepted a thing of value.” Nagin’s attorneys say that instruction runs counter to U.S. Supreme Court rulings. The government, no doubt, will argue otherwise.

Normally, when an objection to a legal issue is raised during trial, the appellate court reviews the matter “de novo,” treating it as a new issue with no deference to the trial court. Under de novo review, an error will be reversed unless it was “harmless” beyond a reasonable doubt — and the government bears the burden of proof.

When no objection is raised at trial, the standard is “plain error,” which means Nagin’s lawyers must show that Berrigan’s instructions were not only erroneous, but also plainly so — and that her error affected the outcome of the proceedings and “seriously affected the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of the judicial proceedings.”

In addition, the burden of proving that the error was “not harmless” shifts to Nagin.

That’s a high bar. Nagin’s lawyers raised it even higher by also asking the 5th Circuit to toss out all of Nagin’s convictions, even though they allege no specific defects in them. Nagin’s appellate brief argues that a “prejudicial spillover” from the honestservices wire fraud conviction “would have

tended to incite or arouse the jury” into convicting Nagin on all counts.

Joe Raspanti, a former state prosecutor who now practices criminal defense law in state and federal courts, says Nagin’s chances on appeal are “a real long shot.”

“Jury charges by their nature are vetted beforehand by the judge and the law clerks,” says Raspanti, who also is the legal analyst for WVUE Fox 8 News. “It’s rare but not unheard of for jury instructions to be grounds for a new trial. Unlike a ruling from the bench during a trial, jury instructions get researched and reviewed for a day or

P H O TO BY C HERY L G ERBER

more. It’s a real long shot for him to get a new trial based on this.”

Nagin’s defense at trial was pretty feeble, so you can’t blame his new lawyers for bootstrapping his appeal. When you don’t have much to work with, a long shot often is your only shot.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > APRIL 21 > 2015

Dear Lynn,

Your question is timely, as this year marks the 150th anniversary of the school which educated young ladies in New Orleans during the 19th and 20th centuries, including the two women you mention — noted writer and historian Grace King and Laura Locoul Gore, namesake of Laura Plantation. It is referred to in various sources as the Cenas Institute, the Cenas School for Girls, and quite simply, Miss Cenas’ school.

Author Stanley Clisby Arthur includes the Cenas family in his 1931 history Old Families of Louisiana alongside names such as Fortier, Claiborne, Kenner and Chalmette. The patriarch was Blaise Cenas, who became the city’s first postmaster and also its sheriff for a time. His six grandchildren included three young women who were most identified with the Cenas school — Frances, Clarisse and Heloise Cenas.

Their mother, Margaret Pierce Cenas, founded the school, located at Esplanade and Claiborne Avenues, in 1865. “Courageously Mrs. Cenas and her elder daughters went to work in the establishment of the school at a time when the conservative Southern people were rather inclined to look askance at women who undertook the rather untoward thing of earning their own living,” recalled The Times-Picayune. in Heloise Cenas’ 1911 obituary. “The first families of

Historian Grace King, who wrote this 1893 history of Louisiana, was among the most celebrated pupils at the Cenas School for Girls, aka “Miss Cenas’ school.”

the city were proud and glad to place their daughters under such cultured guidance.”

Grace King, born in New Orleans in 1852, was arguably the school’s most famous pupil. In her book Memories of a Southern Woman of Letters. King recounted a visit many years later with her former teacher Heloise Cenas. “Going to her was like laying a gift on a votive altar, for in truth that I was able to write was owing to her, and any success I had gained was from the fruit whose seed she had sown,” King wrote.

It’s unclear when the school closed. It appeared in city directories until 1910, but a 1915 directory of private schools for girls does include a listing for it.

his week, we turn back the dial 90 years for the inaugural broadcast of one of the city’s legendary radio stations — WSMB-AM, which signed on the air April 21, 1925. Although WWL was established in 1922, WSMB was the city’s first commercial radio station, staffed by professional announcers and engineers working in studios on the 13th floor of the Maison Blanche building, which now houses the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The station’s call letters reflected its co-owners — the Saenger Theater and the Maison Blanche department store.

Broadcasting on 1350 AM, in its early years the station featured jazz and big band orchestra performances. In the 1960s, a talk radio format helped revive the station, with morning cutups “Nut and Jeff,” daytime talker Keith Rush and night owl Larry Regan. Restaurant critic Tom Fitzmorris’ “The Food Show,” introduced in 1988, remains a daily presence on the station, which is now owned by WWL-AM’s parent company and branded as 3WL.

G

uitarist Derek Trucks is a cofounder of the Tedeschi Trucks Band and performed with The Allman Brothers Band, whose original lineup included his uncle Butch Trucks. Derek recently spoke with Gambit about his start in music, The Meters and working with the Tedeschi Trucks Band.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > APRIL 21 > 2015

What got you interested in playing guitar?

Trucks: The interest started before I ever picked up an instrument. [Music] was always around the house. My parents were always spinning vinyl and the stories of my dad going AWOL from military school to go to The Allman Brothers’ Fillmore East shows [and] seeing [Jimi] Hendrix helicopter in at the Atlanta Pop Festival.

All that stuff was mythology for me. ...

I got a guitar at a garage sale at 9 years old, and it just happened. At that age, you don’t overthink things. If something is fun to do, and it comes to you somewhat naturally, then you just roll with it. … It wasn’t until probably 13 or 14 that it hit me that if [I was] going to do it, [I] should probably start digging in and make it count.

was Delta blues or Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, Sun Ra or Indian classical music, it was just the right introduction to the right music at the right time.

You’re familiar with New Orleans music and Jazz Fest. You’ve covered songs by The Meters with the Funky Meters. What was that like?

T: That was fun. I remember when they called me about doing it. I think George Porter Jr. sent me a 20-song setlist. I did my homework. I showed up and I think we played maybe two of those. …

It hits you how memorable that music is, because you realize you know it already. Whether you’ve learned it or not, you know it. That was a lot of fun; to be onstage with that crew was pretty amazing.

We’re excited about [Jazz Fest]. I think about all the great shows I’ve seen at Jazz Fest, from Ornette Coleman to just a bunch of people at the Gospel Tent.

There’s getting to see Snooks [Eaglin] before he passed. I think about that stuff.

Jaimoe brought the great drummer Earl Palmer out before he passed away.

Did being part of a musical How does song writing work with family help? the Tedeschi Trucks Band?

T: I think that family connection made T: We’ve gone about it in a bunch of it seem a little more real and, I guess, possible. I wasn’t around that scene a lot. When I first started playing, [The Allman Brothers] were on hiatus through most of the ’80s. ... I would see my uncle [Butch Trucks] maybe once a year around Christmastime, and I would hear those stories.

Once I started traveling and playing, a lot of the musicians I met really early on became huge influences. Colonel Bruce Hampton was probably the biggest one. The Colonel and Jimmy Herring — I think I was 11 or 12 when I met those guys. They changed things for me. That whole crew with Jeff Stipe and Oteil [Burbridge]. I learned a lot from them, but the Colonel was amazing about turning me on to the right record ACURA STAGE at the right time and just 3:20 p.m. – 4:40 p.m. exposed me to different types of music, whether it

different ways. With the first few records we did, I think the nature of us being so busy and the timing of it all — me and Susan [Tedeschi] would get together with friends we had written with in the past.

We just spent a few days holing up in the studio with two or three of us writing tunes. We wrote some pretty amazing stuff, and you learn different people’s song writing process.

We’re in the process of making one ...

We’ve been getting together for rehearsals with the band and writing tunes as a group. We’ve been recording ideas and sound checks — things that happen spontaneously at the show — and just piling that stuff up. When we get some time away from the road, we get together and delve into those ideas. We have an album worth of tunes of just that stuff, and it’s pretty great. Between Kofi [Burbridge] and Mike [Mattison] and J.J. [Johnson], there are some really musical minds in the band. ...

Having the studio here — we’ve made four or five records here. Every time we get in there, we get a little more comfortable with it. As a band, making the records and the way you perform a song live are two distinct things. It doesn’t have to be the same arrangement. It doesn’t have to be the same soundscape. We can use the studio for a different thing. My son is 13 and my daughter’s 10 and they’ve been listening to a lot of Beatles records, a lot of Led Zeppelin records, Hendrix and Sly Stone.

You realize that they were using the studio in ways that people really don’t use it anymore. It was really experimental. A lot of stuff, there was no way you would recreate it live, but there’s a beauty to that. That’s why you make records.

Royal Teeth could fit seamlessly at Buku Music + Art Project, Voodoo Music + Arts Experience or Jazz Fest. Since forming in 2010, this six-piece group has been a fixture in the modern, critical music realm, marked by appearances everywhere from New York’s CMJ Music Marathon to Austin, Texas’ South by Southwest. And while its music may be most apt for the stadium pop sensibilities of Voodoo, this will be the second year in a row for the New Orleans-by-way-of-Lafayette band to take the Jazz Fest stage.

Substituting traditional Cajun or zydeco instrumentation for drum machines and synths, Royal Teeth makes soaring pop songs. It’s the kind of music meant to score awe-inspiring views of landscapes and life moments (Samsung did just that with the track “Wild” in a Galaxy S5 campaign last year). While the band’s been

At times Hozier’s self-titled debut album can evoke the genre-bending pop of Van Morrison, and at other points he seems more at home among modern folk groups such as Bon Iver or Fleet Foxes. The nimble aspect of his work is why it gets mashed up with the likes of Nirvana (online) and Annie Lennox (at award shows).

Hozier’s been touring the globe off his momentum from 2014 and is scheduled for headlining gigs at Ireland’s Longitude festival and Jazz Fest among others. Beyond earning heaps of reviewer praise, recent live performances increasingly feature unique wrinkles like a cover of “Jungle Love” with a member of Haim at this year’s Coachella Festival. The field of potential collaborators will be rich at the fairgrounds, but Hozier’s wide reach means nothing is off-limits.

WILCO

Nicholas Payton Trio with Vicente Archer & Bill Archer

Nicholas Payton’s trumpet may get more rest than usual at Jazz Fest 2015. Late last year, the virtuoso made headlines by releasing an album with his trio in which he played trumpet on only one track. Numbers instead saw Payton slide behind the keys in a more supportive role, and the album was marked by a greater sum than the usual collection of parts — the trio’s impressive melodies and solos.

Payton said this was so listeners could participate — singing, rapping, or soloing themselves or simply paying more attention to parts usually overshadowed.

His live performances since have been equally surprising, so expect to see Payton like you’ve never seen him at Jazz Fest.

Wilco

Wilco makes its fourth appearance at Jazz Fest since 2005, and Jazz Fest Producer Quint Davis has called them one of the “best bands in America.”

The band’s been delivering its brand of eclectic alternative rock for more than 20 years, gaining enough fame to be an answer on Jeopardy! and to put pressure on lawmakers with whom the band disagrees (as

GENTILLY STAGE 5:20 p.m. - 7 p.m. bandleader Jeff Tweedy did recently regarding Indiana’s socalled “religious freedom” bill).

Jimmy Cliff

No matter how you define the term, Jimmy Cliff is a legend. The long-time reggae artist is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, the only living musician to earn Jamaica’s highest arts award and a major player in one of his home country’s most memorable films (The Harder They Come). His 2013 Jazz Fest set — following

his triumphant recording return, Rebirth, the year before — was a highlight for many, featuring the musician running through his deep catalog while encouraging everyone around him to move.

He may be a few years older now, but don’t expect things to slow down.

It should be hard to pass Nigerian saxophonist Lagbaja without stopping. He wears colorful outfits and an elaborate mask, which underscores the everyman appeal he’s cultivated (Lagbaja is a Yoruban word for “nobody in particular”), and his appearance may draw you in, but it’s the music that has kept people listening for more than 20 years. Lagbaja harnesses Afrobeat sounds to build soulful, dance-friendly tracks infused with electronic brightness. The messages are often as complex

as the compositions, and Lagbaja sometimes steps back from the mic to unleash a trademark saxophone solo.

SHERATON NEW ORLEANS FAIS DO-DO STAGE

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > APRIL 21 > 2015

here’s a minor chord creeping behind every line on Swimmin’ Time (Dualtone). The album is Shovels & Rope’s follow-up to 2012’s uplifting success story, O’ Be Joyful, which earned song of the year from the Americana Music Awards for its lead track, “Birmingham,” roughly telling the story of the band — married Charleston, South Carolina duo Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent. Swimmin’ Time is full of apocalyptic soothsaying, fingerscrossed survival, and smiling while wading waist-deep in hard times.

For the sweetness of “Mary Ann & One-Eyed Dan” (about a couple of weirdos finding true love) and “Save the World,” there’s the ferocious doowop of “Coping Mechanism,” bursting mortgage bubble blues on “Evil” and the electric New Orleans dirge “Ohio.”

“I’ve gone to Louisiana with a bulletproof bandana,” the duo sings — a different picture from the Crescent City mentioned in the hopeful “Birmingham.” The band has performed in New Orleans enough to know its ups and downs. Hearst, originally from Mississippi, says she grew up thinking of New Orleans as the Land of Oz. 4:20 p.m. - 5:35 p.m.

“My cousins would run off to great adventures in New Orleans, it always had this kind of mysterious, mythical, action-packed mystique penniless and in debt. … We’ve been down both of those paths. to it,” she tells Gambit. “We’ve been going down there for years When we set out to do this, we joke about moderated expeceven when we were touring in the diviest of dives, just to get tations, but we literally just realized, ‘Well, whatever’s good, down there and get a feel for it, especially when there’s not this is going to work for us.

Tarriona “Tank” Ball is a tornado of lyrics, poetry and attitude. With Tank & the Bangas, she transforms spoken word, funk, hip-hop and R&B into a gospel sermon of galactic proportions. The New Orleans group’s latest is The Big Bang Theory: Live at Gasa Gasa, which captures the band’s precisely orchestrated yet wildly unpredictable gear-switching and genre-mashing live show. The band — outfitted with jazzy horns, swirling keyboards and soulful backing vocals — dreams up Erykah Badu’s thoughtful neo-soul and Parliament’s playfulness.

Luke James

New Orleans-born R&B singer-songwriter Luke James rose through the pop ranks as a songwriter for the likes of Justin Bieber, Chris Brown and Britney Spears, among others, before his 2014 self-titled studio debut. The album was a low-flyer on the pop charts despite the stark single “Options,” featuring rapper Rick Ross, earning a Grammy Award nomination — up against Usher and eventual winners Beyonce and Jay Z. James’ journey to stand alongside R&B royalty began as a choirboy and at St. Augustine High School, where he formed a vocal trio, Upskale. He later moved to Los Angeles, where he became a go-to writer and, eventually, an opening act for Beyonce. On his self-titled album, James hits falsetto highs (“Trouble” and “I Want You”) and shows off his powerful, flexible voice on an a cappella cover of Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me.” James also grooves comfortably alongside the ’80s-inflected dancepop of “Dancing in the Dark” and

Vieux Farka Toure

Mali multi-instrumentalist Ali Farka Toure ranked No. 27 on Spin’s list of the greatest guitarists of all time. His son, Vieux Farka Toure, is the self-described “Jimi Hendrix of the Sahara.”

Both men conjure wild desert blues with rock instruments used as divining rods summoning Mali folk music. The younger Toure’s latest album is 2013’s Mon Pays (“my country”), a tribute to Mali and a reminder that his musical path almost was diverted — Toure’s father insisted he become a solider to his country, where internal conflicts and violence have shaken the region — and avoid the career (and its pitfalls) that he had chosen. Toure, instead, took up guitar (in secret) and enrolled in art school. He replicated his father’s harp-like finger-picked style and rose to international success — Ali’s final recorded appearance before his 2006 death appears on Vieux’s 2011 album The Secret. Mon Pays is Toure’s love letter to home and country — “Future”

and “Peace” offer serene, instrumental layers of guitar with West African stringed instruments. Lively percussion, group vocals and blissed-out guitar turn meditative compositions (like the album’s middle act, “Nouhoume Maiga”) into celebratory jams.

GIVERS’ Afro-pop influence owes more to the band’s hometown — where band members fell in love with the global influence on stages at Festival International — than Dirty Projectors and Talking Heads fan worship. The band’s joyous pop songs are beachball-bounce bright with island-hopping guitars, boy-girl harmonies and a thick rhythm section. In Light’s follow up is due out this year.

SATURDAY • APRIL 25 Juvenile & Mannie Fresh

In a recent episode of the decade-long tabloid drama of Cash Money Records — which has included financial disagreements, legal issues and breakups — Lil Wayne claimed he’s a prisoner being held hostage (his words) by the label. Meanwhile, Juvenile returned to Cash Money after more than 10 years apart. This year’s Mardi Gras 2 is Juve’s first effort on the label since 2003’s Juve the Great, when the rapper split with the group and started his own label and a deal with Atlantic Records.

Mardi Gras 2 is a stacked, 20-track

everywhere in New Orleans hip-hop — from UNLV’s “Drag ’Em to the River” to virtually all of Cash Money’s hits in the ’90s and 2000s. Juvenile’s signature gruff vocals are still in full force on Mardi Gras 2, which reunites Juve and Fresh for the goofball EDM banger “M.I.L.F.” 3:35 p.m.-4:50 p.m.

Adams’ journeyman rock ’n’ roll, from agitated punk and sensitive hesher to unfiltered roots rock revivalist, comes to its honest, unglamorous end with his recent album, which recounts “Trouble” and “My Wrecking Ball.” He’s “Tired of Giving Up” and asks to “Gimme Something Good.” On album closer “Let Go,” Adams resigns to his world-weariness (“maybe I’m asleep / my heart is paralyzed”) and asks, “Cross your fingers behind your back and lie / Tell me it’s OK if you’ll fix everything ’cause I let go.” Adams summons his personal demons, along with Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, and throws them against his punk and metal past.

Roger Daltrey opened for Eric Clapton at the Smoothie King Center (then the New Orleans Arena) in 2010. While Clapton plowed through his worn-out classic rock radio hits, Daltrey showed renewed energy with only a slimmed-down group with a couple of guitars, bass and drums. Daltrey — whether the too-cool ’60s mod or microphone-swinging ’70s rock icon — has remained the voice of The Who for five decades. As a solo act, Daltrey plugs into a comfortable pub rock role. But alongside Pete Townshend, his longtime foil and The Who’s windmilling guitar icon, the duo are a much different kind of machine. Daltrey and Townshend are the remaining original members of the band (bassist John Entwistle died in 2002, the legendary Keith Moon died in 1978), though they’ve held brief reunions (a tour in support of its first album in 20 years in 2006, and in 2010, performing all of Quadrophenia). This Jazz Fest performance could be one of the band’s last. For The Who Hits 50 tour, the band has admitted time is running out. Daltrey and Townshend still perform with the same urgency and electricity on display on the thriller Live at Leeds from 1970, but it’s only a matter of time before they finally have to explode their amplifiers for good.

Tribute to Jelly Roll Morton featuring David Boeddinghaus and Dr. Michael White

Jelly Roll Morton may be one of the few people who lied about his age in order to appear older. He is reported to have exaggerated his age later in his life (he died in 1941 at age 50) to enhance his claim to be a founder of jazz. Without sorting that out, he was a very talented and influential bandleader and piano player, known as one of the piano “professors” who performed in the parlors

of Storyville brothels. Morton’s “Jelly Roll Blues” was the first piece of published jazz music, and his 1920s recordings with the Red Hot Peppers capture the quintessence of New Orleans jazz from that period. This tribute to Morton’s legacy features New Orleans pianist David Boeddinghaus, known for his work with Banu Gibson, Leon Redbone, Pete Fountain and others, and clarinetist and jazz historian Dr. Michael White.

THE PLACE TO BE DURING JAZZ FEST

St. Phillip

40TH ANNIVERSARY ByAlex Woodward

I

n its 40-year career, BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet has nabbed several Grammy Award nominations (and a couple of wins), produced two dozen albums, and remains a standard-bearer for Cajun music as it adapts and transforms with younger artists at the helm. Its 2015 Jazz Fest appearance celebrates its 40-year milestone, a celebration the band has taken on the road for a recent tour far outside its Lafayette home.

The band was founded in 1975 when bandleader Doucet, then a Louisiana college student and rock ’n’ roll fan, immersed himself in Louisiana and French music by using a Folk Arts Fellowship Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to study Cajun fiddle. The band’s purposeful revival of Cajun music was instrumental in saving it, though it’s hard to imagine Louisiana without an ever-present Cajun soundtrack.

Following BeauSoleil’s lead are a younger generation of bands including the Pine Leaf Boys and its progressive counterparts Feufollet and Lost Bayou Ramblers.

BeauSoleil’s first Grammy Award-winning album, 1996’s L’Amour Ou la Folie, is a Cajun music tour-de-force. The win also was the first for any Cajun band and opened the doors for others in the Best Traditional Folk Album category (which later spun off into the short-lived category of Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album). The band also spans calypso, zydeco, blues and rock ’n’ roll, as well as African and Caribbean influences. That fusion isn’t meant to change the music, per se, but draw from the same pot in which Cajun and Creole music first developed. (Ever the student, in a 2014 story in Lafayette’s The Daily Advertiser, Doucet recounted a recent trip to Cuba where he studied the similarities of Cuban Danzon music and early New Orleans music.)

BeauSoleil’s latest album, 2013’s From Bamako to Carencro, takes it further, by bridging the namesake cities — Mali’s West African rhythms to Louisiana’s sonic palette — with the band’s expansive repertoire.

PERFORMER’S PICKS

PHILIP FRAZIER OF THE REBIRTH BRASS BAND Tuba/sousaphone player Philip Frazier has anchored the rhythm section of the Rebirth Brass Band since he cofounded the group with brother Keith Frazier, Kermit Ruffins and friends in the early 1980s. It helped modernize New Orleans brass band music by incorporating R&B, soul and funk. Rebirth released Move Your Body last spring.

Here are some of the things Philip is looking forward to at the Fair Grounds.

Congo Square “Frankie Beverly is so soulful. He sings from the heart. We recorded some of their songs, like ‘Before I Let Go’ on [The Main Event:] Live at the Maple Leaf.”

GOSPEL TENT

“I like all kinds of gospel music — old school, contemporary. My mom was a gospel piano player. I started singing in church, me and my brother — Christian Mission Baptist Church on North Robertson. I like to just go sit in the Gospel Tent.”

JAZZ FEST FOOD

“I love the food out there. Crawfish Monica is one of my favorites.”

KIDS’ TENT

“I check out what’s going on in the Kids’ Tent. My kids are growing up. You see things like the [Mardi Gras] Indians doing a workshop. It’s interesting.”

CLASS NOTES

Jazz Fest honors NOCCA’s 40th anniversary.

n the early 1980s, Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis, Donald Harrison Jr. and Terence Blanchard — all graduates of the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) —were among a group of exciting young jazz musicians starting to gain national attention. Blanchard says they knew they had gotten a good education at NOCCA, but they didn’t realize how good until they left New Orleans.

“We didn’t think anything of it, because we assumed the same thing [that was happening at NOCCA] was happening around the country,” Blanchard says. “We thought that we needed to be on our game because there were other people that were going to be on their game from other parts of the world. It wasn’t until we got to New York and we didn’t see that mass influx of young musicians that we thought we’d see, that we started to look around and say, ‘OK, man, that was kind of unique.’ It started to resonate for me how important NOCCA was.”

This year, NOCCA celebrates its 40th year of performing arts education, and the 2015 Jazz Fest spotlights NOCCA’s achievements at its Cultural Exchange Pavilion, which usually highlights the music and culture of another nation. Programming features musical performances, including jazz, classical, choir and musical theater, and visual arts demonstrations and exhibitions ranging from mural painting, photography and film screenings to large-scale puppetry and papier-mache creations. Many performances and exhibits are in the NOCCA Pavilion tent in the Fair Grounds infield near the Congo Square area, and some programming is in the Grandstand. The pavilion includes work by NOCCA students, faculty and alumni, and there are performances by Blanchard and Harrison and a tribute to Ellis Marsalis by the youngest Marsalis brother, Jason.

Blanchard credits his teachers and his experiences at NOCCA for much that he has accomplished in his career as a musician, composer and educator.

“Dr. [Bert] Braud, Ellis [Marsalis], Roger Dickerson, Kidd Jordan, George Jansen — we felt there was a community of educators who really had our best interests at heart,” Blanchard says. “There just seemed to be a healthy attitude towards learning and playing and being a professional.”

Blanchard also is a music educator and mentor. He serves as Artistic Director of the Henry Mancini Institute at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music, and next year he’ll join the Berklee College of

Wynton Marsalis with NOCCA students John Michael Bradford (left) and Jeffery Miller (right).

Music in Boston. He also regularly mentors young musicians in his own band, many of whom have gone on to have successful recording careers.

“It’s important to educate, because if I didn’t have it, I wouldn’t be here,” Blanchard says. “I don’t feel like I have all of the answers, but I do have a lot of experience, and I’m here to share my experiences.”

The NOCCA Pavilion also will feature a younger generation of NOCCA alums, including Alexis Marceaux and Sam Craft.

Marceaux and Craft perform and record as ethereal folk duo Alexis and the Samurai, and they front Sweet Crude, an energetic Cajun-inspired indie pop band that includes fellow NOCCA grads Jack Craft (Sam’s brother) and Jonathan Arceneaux.

Marceaux studied musical theater at NOCCA for three years, before her education was interrupted by Hurricane Katrina.

Craft, who was a few years ahead of Marceaux, studied classical music. While it may seem like a formal education for a couple of aspiring pop stars, Marceaux said the transition was natural.

“I started writing music when I was 13, so even during all of my NOCCA experience in musical theater, I was playing coffee shops with my acoustic guitar,” Marceaux says. “Going back and forth between that world and the theater world at NOCCA really helped me get on the stage with more confidence.”

Like Blanchard, Marceaux and Craft both learned the importance of arts

education at NOCCA. Marceaux teaches voice at an after-school program at Lusher Charter School, and Craft teaches violin at Thibodeaux School of Music, a music education center founded by Paul Thibodeaux, another NOCCA grad.

Last year, Marceaux and Craft were appointed Young Alum Co-Chairs of NOCCA’s annual gala. It gave them a chance to perform for an audience of faculty, staff and patrons, but more importantly it gave them a chance to interact with current NOCCA students.

“When we were in school, it was really cool to see somebody who was young, but older than us, doing what we were about to be doing,” says Marceaux.

“Maybe we can be a role model for upand-coming artists there, and we can kind of tell them what it’s like to do this as a profession.”

At the NOCCA Pavilion, Marceaux and Craft will share the spotlight with alums including musicians Sasha Masakowski and Khris Royal and street artist Brandan Odums, who spearheaded the recent outdoor graffiti art spectacular Exhibit BE. “So many people that we know from NOCCA are doing wonderful things, and that’s the best part about it, just seeing them flourishing and seeing them being successful,” Marceaux says. “We all know that we went to this wonderful school that taught us a lot, and we’re now able to be in the real world doing what we love.”

Monteleone, a descendent of founder Antonio Monteleone.

“Billy Monteleone … came up with the concept,” Wasmuth says. “[He] bought the original carousel from a vendor in Chicago and then brought it back down to the Hotel Monteleone and had it built.”

Antonio Monteleone, a shoe factory operator from Sicily, purchased a 64-room French Quarter hotel on Royal and Iberville in 1886. After five generations of Monteleones, five major additions and 129 years in business, the hotel now has 570 guest rooms.

Many well-known literary figures have stopped by the hotel over the years, including William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams and Ernest Hemingway. The hotel’s literary suites are named and designed after these and other authors.

“We have a literary landmark designation by the American Library Association,” Wasmuth said. “So many of the suites … [are named] for authors that … actually stayed here and wrote something about the Monteleone in a lot of their short stories and novels.”

The hotel commissioned Latvian artist Binka Rigava to embellish photographs of jazz era icons by Alfred Cheney Johnston. Now, the updated blackand-white portraits are a vibrant mix of old and new — much like the Monteleone. Though the hotel is well known for its unusual bar, it also offers live jazz music, the innovative Criollo restaurant and a rich history dating back to 1886.

The bar serves classic cocktails, including Sazeracs, bourbon milk punch and Pimm’s cups. A bar food menu features gumbo, blue crab and crawfish beignets and mini po-boys.

People seeking more substantial fare can dine at Criollo, which opened in 2012. Chef Joseph Maynard and his team present Creole cooking for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Kent Wasmuth, director of sales and marketing, recommends osso buco or any of the fresh fish dishes.

Live jazz groups play Wednesday through Sunday nights. Patrons can listen from one of the revolving bar’s 25 seats, lounge seating or from the new, secondary crescentshaped bar. The only one of its kind in New Orleans, the revolving bar was the brainchild of Bill

New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival fans enjoy fried chicken and jambalaya.

New and classic food items at Jazz Fest.

offer a throwback to her time spent as an Orleans Parish public school chef: her Sloppy Jeaux.

“The kids all loved it,” says Green, who won an episode of the Food Network TV cooking competition Chopped. “And the grown-ups love it, too.”

Jazz Fest also is evolving to become more vegetarian-friendly, offering at least 29 meatless items, including a vegetarian muffuletta and couscous with yogurt sauce and Mona’s Cafe’s vegetarian plate.

For gluten-free eaters, po-boys are being transformed into salads, Nugent says.

There’s turkey giardiniera, featuring spinach, artichoke hearts and red onions.

Those craving tried-and-true Cajun and Creole favorites won’t be disappointed.

Festival classics include seafood-stuffed bread, jambalaya, alligator sauce piquante and pecan crawfish meuniere. Patton’s Caterers offers its signature oyster sack, oyster patties and crawfish beignets. The combo plate with all three has made the company famous, says owner Tim Patton, who adds that his company pulls in up to 10 percent of its annual gross revenue at Jazz Fest.

Patton’s has been using its family recipes since 1954, Patton says, and he doesn’t see the business changing anytime soon. The crawfish sacks are based on his grandmother’s crepe recipe, replacing mushroom stuffing with a Creole-Cajun crawfish mix.

“It’s an old French recipe,” Patton says.

“Because nothing’s really new in the cooking world, you know.”

Coulis beans

The breakfast and lunch spot Coulis (3625 Prytania St., 504-304-4265) is hosting a popup supper series that combines food and entertainment. On Wednesday, April 22, burlesque dancer Bella Blue and Chef Anne Churchill, who formerly ran the vegan restaurant Bhava, present a four-course dinner that includes vegan and gluten-free options.

There are choices with each course, such as cauliflower soup, smoked catfish dip or spinach salad with tomatoes or seared steak for an appetizer. Entrees include shrimp and grits with red-eye gravy, organic, free-range chicken with Nicaraguan rice and root vegetable gratin and Thai noodles with vegetables and Thai miso peanut sauce, The dinner costs $60 and a portion of proceeds benefit LOUD: New Orleans Queer Youth Theater (www.noqyt.org).

Organizer Lee Yates, a former owner of Dante’s Kitchen and Cafe Rani and former Gambit contributor, says the series will take a break during the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and continue sometime in May. — WILL COVIELLO

Vegging out

NOLA Veggie Fest (www.nolaveggiefest.com) will have plenty of vegetables, but also chickens. Live ones. The festival promotes vegetarianism, veganism and what organizers call a “cruelty-free” lifestyle, so a woman who rescues chickens will bring several to the festival to support the mission.

“She’ll have a dozen different breeds of chickens and the kids go crazy,” Humane Society of Louisiana Executive Director Jeff Dorson says. “They hold PAGE 56

The seventh annual NOLA Veggie Fest is at the New Orleans Healing Center (2372 St. Claude Ave., 504-940-1130; www.neworleanshealingcenter.org) May 9-10 and features food vendors, cooking demonstrations, speakers, a yoga area and a “vegan fashion show.”

A lineup of speakers includes Chef Inge Bothma of Happy Vegan Baker, and Kristin Lajeunesse of www.wtfveganfood.com, who will talk about her quest to travel around the country to eat at all-vegan restaurants in every state.

Dorson, who ran Jack Sprat’s Vegetarian Grill from 1994 to 1998, said he is finally seeing real growth in the vegetarian and vegan community in New Orleans.

“We actually think that veganism and this whole plant-based idea is really finally catching on down South,” Dorson says. “We’re catching the tailwind of the interest that started in California and the Northeast. … [W]e’re finally seeing a growth all across the board with more vegan and vegetarian-friendly [restaurants].”

The vegan fashion show is a new addition to the festival lineup and will take place Friday night at Cafe Istanbul. No clothing items made from animal byproducts such as leather, feathers or fur will be used in order to promote awareness for the Humane Society’s cruelty-free lifestyle mission.

“People are not very conscious,” Dorson says. “Where does this come from? Where does my shoe leather come from? Where does my belt leather come from? So it’s a big question to ask; who inhabited my skin before I bought it at Walmart?” — EMMA DISCHER

NOLA Brewing President Kirk Coco announced he is starting a new boozy business venture: New Orleans Libations and Alcohol (NOLA) Distilling Company.

Along with COO Andy Kutcher and Head Distiller David Bock, formerly of Celebration Distillation (www.oldneworleansrum.com), which produces Old New Orleans Rum. Coco plans to distill and distribute vodka, gin and white whiskey. He expects to start selling spirits in October.

Coco will continue at NOLA Brewing as CEO and take on the leadership role at NOLA Distilling.

Coco says the success of NOLA Brewing and the support of the New Orleans community encouraged him to expand in this direction.

After six years in business, Coco says, “We’re already past my 10-year goals. The fact that I’m looking at a distillery? That’s like a 20-year goal.

We’re already rolling into the 20-year projection plan we had when we started the company.”

Bock says the team is still developing recipes for the three flagship products. “We don’t want to release something that isn’t the absolute best.”

NOLA Brewing is in the early stages of acquiring a license to brew mead, a kind of beer-wine hybrid that uses honey, and Coco says it may turn into a more significant wine-making endeavor in the future.

“We’re not going to grow grapes here; we won’t be a vineyard,” he says. “But the beauty of a winery is, I can import grapes and still create some wonderful wine here.” — NORA McGUNNIGLE

3-COURSE interview

Kevin Pedeaux Coffee roaster

How do you create your coffees?

P: I have my house blend that I do, and I spend a lot of time on it because coffees go in and out of season. Blending coffee is pretty hard to do. You have to balance it and play to a flavor profile.

[When tasting coffee], you definitely talk about acidity, you talk about sweetness, you talk about the earthy quality, you talk about the fruity content. And of course, the roast level will make a difference too.

Single-origin coffees are all the rage right now. If you’re drinking something like an Ethiopian Sidamo, you’re drinking coffee that is just from that particular region. You’re tasting the terroir, kind of like a wine. Altitude makes a big difference, soil makes a big difference, climate makes a big difference.

Everybody I buy coffee from is a coffee importer located in this town that stores coffee in this town. I’ll go out and pick up green coffee that is stored here, which is kind of a big deal, because I can drive to New Orleans East and look at the coffee.

So how do you make a good cup of coffee?

P: [When buying coffee to make at home], you definitely want to buy a fresh roast. You also want to buy whole bean. Coffee is like a baked good. You don’t want to buy a slice of cake, or cake with a slice out of it, because the icing seals the cake. When you grind the coffee, more of it is exposed to air, more of it oxidizes. You can taste the staleness.

Spending money on the grinder, rather than the brewer, is the way to go. I always recommend the burr grinder that stores your beans up top.

I personally like the hard water that’s in New Orleans for brewing coffee.

It’s a detriment on machines for coffee brewers, but the minerals in the water help pull out more flavor in the coffee. I filter the water, but I don’t generally use a water softener. Coffee is 99 percent water. If you can use tap water and filter it, you’re in great shape. — KAT STROMQUIST

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > APRIL 21 > 2015

At Coast Roast Coffee you restore and use century-old machines when roasting coffee. How does this affect your coffee?

Pedeaux: Modern machines are designed to roast quickly, and our machines roast a little bit slower. It does take more time, but I think when you taste our coffee, you can really taste the difference. There’s a development process the bean has to go through, and I think [in the past] they knew that.

[This machine] mellows the coffee a lot. It develops the sugars more, and you get the sweeter notes out of coffee. Especially with our antique roaster, our dark roasts have a nice smoky finish. It finishes clean, but it’s almost like a very clean cigar.

At 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 22, Cate Street Seafood Station (308 S. Cate St., Hammond, (985) 340-3891; www.catestreet308. com) will offer four types of sliders with beers from Gnarly Barley, Chafunkta Brewing Co., Saint Arnold Brewing Co. and Founders Brewing Co. “We wanted to do something a little different, and sliders and beer just go perfectly together,” says Cate Street Chef Jason Wong, who was just named Mark A Majorie Jr. is chef de cuisine at one of the area’s Best Up and The Roosevelt New Orleans.

Coming Chefs by the New C O U R T E S Y T H E R O O S E V ELT N E W O R L E A N S Orleans chapter of the American Culinary Federation.

The Tuscany-based Antinori family has been making wine since the 14th century, and many current native varietals related to ancient cultivars such as negroamaro appear in almost every Puglia wine. A blend of 40 percent negroamaro and 30 percent each cabernet sauvignon and primitivo, this wine features hand-harvested fruit vinified separately in climate-controlled stainless steel tanks.

The must was macerated on its skins for eight to 10 days followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine was then refined in stainless steel tanks for eight months and four months in the bottle. In the glass, the wine exhibits aromas of bright red berries, licorice and spice. On the palate, taste blackberry, plum, black tea, anise, an herbal character, balanced tannins and good acidity. Decant an hour before serving. Drink it with wild game, roasted meats, barbecued ribs, pasta dishes and aged cheese. Buy it at: Costco, Elio’s Wine Warehouse, Dorignac’s, Whole Foods Market in Metairie, Acquistapace’s Covington Supermarket and The Fresh Market in Mandeville. Drink it at: Adolfo’s Restaurant. — BRENDA MAITLAND Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

Trends, notes, quirks and quotes from the world of food.

Back in black “When people ask how I rate San Francisco as an American food city, I always point out that there are only two cities where people actually travel just for the food: New Orleans and San Francisco.

Some would add New York, of course, but generally people go there first for business and the theater before dining. Of all the cities in the United States, none has as distinctive a cuisine as New Orleans, which is what makes it so difficult to produce outside of Louisiana. ... And whoever lived through it, can forget — and in many cases forgive — the blackened craze of the 1980s?”

— Michael Bauer, longtime food critic of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Play, Misty, for me Father John Misty’s Josh Tillman on life in New Orleans and his new album, I Love You, Honeybear.

J

former, antagonizing the audience for being an audience,” he says, laughing. “That’s sort of how I was giving myself permission to be a performer, to be loathing of the whole enterprise. In that song ‘Now I’m Learning to Love the War,’ it’s asking this existential question of, ‘What am I going to do? I’m taking up these limited resources, I’m taking these people’s time.

What am I going to do with it?

Is it just glorified navel gazing?’

Asking questions about questions and running everything in circles.

I’m f—king sick of it. In terms of a performance, I have to come to a place where it’s like, ‘Look, asshole. This is where you are.

This is your reality. You can either do something with it or you can just keep jerking off.’”

Tillman isn’t shy on Honeybear, which he describes as a concept album about himself. Accompanying rich arrangements and folkand rock-influenced pop songs are frank details, unglamorous journal entries and the dumb things one does in love. His specific, funny, dark and dense lyrics and piano ballads update Harry Nilsson and Randy Newman as he learns to live with his past and settle for a simple, sincere and selfish love. He awaits the impending American family life on “Bored in the USA,” accompanied only by a piano and canned studio laughter. “Holy Shit,” which he wrote on his wedding day, stares down the universe. He bitterly remembers “The Night Josh Tillman Came To Our Apt.” in which he sings, “She says, like literally, music is the air she breathes / And the malaprops make me want to f—king scream / I wonder if she even knows what that word means / Well, it’s literally not that.”

How does he relive that night-after-night onstage?

“I had f—king no idea at first,” he says. “I am so vulnerable and exposed. The jig is up. There’s no mask. I think going into the performance, going into the first couple of shows, I was like, ‘I guess I’m supposed to sing these songs for Emma every night?’ and I tried that, and it was horrible, because there’s

a lot of angst in these songs that I’m fairly loathed to revisit. And APRIL Father John Misty also because Emma and I have and Luluc moved on. … I don’t want to turn 10 p.m. Saturday these shows into some kind of Civic Theatre, tomb wherein the bones of the 510 O’Keefe Ave., years 2011-2014 reside and I charge (504) 272-0865; admission to come check them out. … There’s something about www.civicnola.com creating this psychodrama beTickets $20 tween me and the audience that gives the thing vitality. … I don’t know why that makes sense, and I think a lot of people leave the show feeling like they’ve been riding the bus with a pervert.”

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > APRIL 21 > 2015

osh Tillman is the enemy, or in his words, “the gentrification angel of death.” Tillman and his wife Emma moved from Los Angeles to New Orleans in 2013 for a lost weekend that honeymooned into two years in the Crescent City. But Tillman — aka Father John Misty, whose acclaimed 2015 album I Love You, Honeybear (Sub Pop) is a grand love letter to Emma and ritual diary-burning — will not be “that guy.”

“I feel there’s this tendency for someone who has some kind of profile to move into town and within 72 hours they’re dancing in a second line and just … I would be annoyed, personally,” Tillman says. “I love it for a lot of reasons that don’t make sense to most people when they think about New Orleans, you know? I kind of like the spooky quietude. There’s this real heavy, slow vibe. I just wanted to kind of drop out.”

Here, Tillman plays his piano, rides his bike and works on his book while Emma writes a feature-length screenplay.

“We have just been kind of like hermits for a year,” he says. “We’re sort of the conjoined Boo Radley in our neighborhood. We’re so obviously from California, it’s ridiculous… ‘King Hipster moves to town.’ I get it.

I’ve never called myself King Hipster before. I hope that one doesn’t stick.”

Father John Misty performs Saturday, April 25 at the Civic Theatre during a busy weekend for concerts.

On “I Went to the Store One Day,” Tillman remembers meeting his future wife and the horrible gut-twisting of true love one year later. Sucked in by delusions of grandeur of a picturesque New Orleans, where the couple can finally live the solitary married ideal, he sings, “Let’s buy a plantation house and let the yard grow wild until we don’t need the signs that say, ‘Keep out’ / I’ve got some money left and it’s cheaper in the South.”

“I’m very much acknowledging that fantasy between two people,” he says. “It’s sort of meant to sound like that uninformed fantasy speculation. But there’s this rampant Chipotle-ization happening in every American city.”

Honeybear follows 2012’s Fear Fun, Tillman’s first as Misty after a career as J. Tillman and member of Fleet Foxes. On that album, Tillman comes to terms with ending his romantic aspirations as a tortured singer-songwriter. And he’s tired of analyzing it.

“So much of the vibe of that whole thing was subversion and antagonizing the idea of being a per-

Dan Deacon P H O T O BY F R A N K H A M I LT O N

Anything can happen at a Dan Deacon show. That’s not empty talk — really, anything. There’s the usual swirl of blissed-out, neon-tracing spazzes, and then there’s the row of concertgoers who interrupt the gig at Deacon’s Bugs Bunny command and proceed to line up for a block outside the venue, pairing off and facing with their hands in the air and touching, breaking two-by-two at one end to follow the wormhole to the other end, where they locate their impromptu partner and rejoin palms, eventually returning the same way to the door and the music, a psychedelic Dan Deacon APR human Slinky. Listening to his new 9 p.m. Tuesday album Gliss Riffer (Domino), it’s as if Deacon is describing this odd Republic bit of group dynamics: “I’m having 828 S. Peters St. visions, infinite visions, the same ones as you,” he begins “Feel the Lightning,” (504) 528-8282 measured and monotone, before lapsing www.republicnola.com into the kind of double-time groove that accelerates so many of his songs: “Ten thousand eyes and 400 hands / And all of my arms are made of the sands.”

Giving yourself over to Deacon means relinquishing control and going a little insane. It’s worth it. He can be ecstatic and annoying, though those extremes each recede somewhat toward the middle on Gliss Riffer, which features some of his most creative and mainstream songwriting yet. I lose myself every time in the middle third: “When I Was Done Dying,” a springy army of double-tracked, octave-hopping Deacon-ribbits; “Meme Generator,” cut-up vocals arranged like an origami flower; and “Mind on Fire,” the mountaintop from which you can survey the madness. He even provides a beautiful breather, 45 seconds where everything drops out except a single-bird synth, a trenchant beat and Deacon’s voice, which kind of is the beat: “Happiness takes time / And time is my life / And if I have no time / Then am I still alive?” Prince Rama and Ben O’Brien open. Tickets $15 in advance, $18 day of show. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

The century-plus history of Russian and Soviet cinema is one of intermittent brilliance (Sergei Eisenstein and Andrei Tarkovsky are prime examples) followed by long periods of bureaucratic interference and censorship. So it came as no surprise when the worldwide acclaim accorded Andrey Zvyagintsev’s Leviathan Leviathan was met with scorn THRU by the Russian government that 2 p.m. and 8:55 p.m. daily APR actually helped finance the film.

Chalmette Movies, 8700 W. Leviathan (not to be confused Judge Perez Drive, Chalmette with the 2012 maritime documentary of the same name) delivers a (504) 304-9992 scathing social critique of Vladimir www.chalmettemovies.com Putin’s Russia. It won Best Screenplay at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival (and later, many other awards in Europe, India and the U.S.), which only caused Russian Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky to denounce the film’s depiction of official corruption and hard-drinking working class people as not representative of “real Russians.”

That disapproval didn’t stop Leviathan from becoming Russia’s official entry in this year’s Oscars, where it became one of five nominees for Best Foreign Language Film. Medinsky — who claims he had nothing to do with his government’s significant financial support for the film — inspired mirth on an international scale when he went on to complain that Leviathan promotes “existential hopelessness,” which some might reasonably describe as the country’s primary cultural output.

There’s certainly no shortage of hopelessness or futility in Leviathan. Set in the present day, it tells of one man’s struggles with local bureaucracy in a small town on Russia’s rugged northern coast. Kolya (Aleksey Serebriakov) owns an auto repair shop and lives with his wife and son in an adjacent house that has been in his family for generations. His property occupies prime real estate overlooking the Barents Sea, which inspires a land grab by the town’s corrupt Mayor Vadim (Roman Madianov), who acts like he runs the local mob. Kolya’s problems escalate after he enlists the help of an old army buddy who has become a high-powered lawyer in Moscow. It seems the brutal power of authority in today’s Russia — including a complicit Russian Orthodox Church — knows few bounds.

Though Leviathan’s message is clear, co-writer/director Zvyagintsev finds surprisingly subtle ways to deliver it. The film focuses on the intimate details of private lives to get at larger, mostly unspoken themes. Widescreen images of the beautiful yet harsh terrain silently suggest the immensity of institutional oppression, and key events often occur off-screen where they can live freely in the viewer’s imagination.

Only a pivotal scene in which many of the film’s characters gather for outdoor barbecue, vodka and target practice crosses the line to overt political commentary — but mainly in the interests of humor. A police official brings large, framed photos of 20th-century Russian leaders to shoot with his insanely overpowered (and Russian-made) AK-47 assault rifle. Kolya flips through the portraits of Lenin, Brezhnev and Gorbachev and asks: “Got anyone more current?”

Zvyagintsev cites a variety of sources for his film, from the Bible’s Book of Job to Colorado’s infamous “Killdozer” episode, in which a man vented his frustration with local bureaucracy by armoring a bulldozer and destroying a large portion of his town (an early version of the Leviathan script featured a similar turn of events). Despite the umbrage taken by Russian officials for the specifics of its story, Leviathan finds power in the universal nature of its characters and events. Things look pretty bleak in Putin’s Russia, but abuse of power as seen in Leviathan seldom stops at international borders. — KEN KORMAN 16mm reels from the 1970 Jazz Fest include performances by Duke Ellington, Pete Fountain, Danny Barker and Mahalia Jackson.

The Internet is a mystery. From humble origins as a government project in the 1960s, it evolved into a vast global compendium of information and misinformation. Now people use it to relate to the world through digital devices. A new media theorist and provocateur, Patrick Lichty explores this seductive, digitally mediated, alternate reality while revealing the secret inner meaning of the Internet by exposing its The Rise of the Machines: THRU main beneficiary after its many Drawings by Patrick Lichty MAY decades of development: cats.

The Zwolle Paintings: Yes, as the single most clickedNew work by Bob Tooke on topic, cats rule the Internet.

Nobody knows why. Even Barrister’s Gallery, Lichty — whose resume 2331 St. Claude Ave. includes collaborations with (504) 710-4506 The Yes Men and other guerilla raids on the techno status www.barristersgallery.com quo — incorporates them into his creative flow, as we see in his oddly rendered drawings like Predator vs Predator, a view of a playful tabby chasing a Predator drone, or Random Internet Cat (pictured), a fluorescent ink feline staring raptly at us. Digital artists like Lichty often employ technological curiosities, and if these works radiate an odd, Etch A Sketch aura, it’s probably because they were made with a Makelangelo 3, a cutting-edge marvel that uses advanced 3-D printer technology to facilitate drawings like something an obsessive-compulsive savant might have created. There also is a pixilated Siamese cat woven into a throw rug that he got Wal-Mart to make. What gives? Forget al-Qaida — with Lichty’s help, the clandestine feline mind control conspiracy for total world domination is obviously on a roll.

Folk artist Bob Tooke is a former resident of Germany now based in Zwolle, Louisiana, where he paints colorful canvases of blues legends, kitsch and burning cars. Portraits like Lightning Hopkins at the Golden Poodle Klub are evocative classics, but his burning car canvases are strange. Most are dedicated to German pop stars, except for a flaming vintage Mercedes-Benz captioned “Adolph.” Tooke is an eloquent folk artist, but his burning cars suggest a weird new strain of German voodoo. — D.

9:30 p.m. Friday.

Tom Wingfield drunkenly stumbles home to the small apartment he shares with his mother and sister. He’s been at the “movies,” his euphemism for debauchery.

When his mother confronts him about his behavior, he loses his temper and begins to expose his family’s buried tensions in Anthony Bean Community Theater’s production of Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie The Glass Menagerie.

APR The Glass Menagerie 8 p.m. Fri.-Sat.; 3 p.m. Sun. is a memory play framed Anthony Bean by a narrating older Tom Community Theater (Albert Aubry) reflecting on 1333 S. Carrollton Ave. past events. As a young woman, Amanda Wingfield (Gwendolyne (504) 862-7529 Foxworth) married a charming www.anthonybeantheater.com man, who moved her from her high society life in New Orleans to Missouri. Eventually, her husband — who is represented in the show by an illuminated photo — abandoned Amanda and their two children Tom and Laura.

Now in their twenties, the siblings are complete opposites: Tom (Dwight Clay) is as adventurous as Laura (Coti Gayles) is docile — but they both worry their mother to no end.

Amanda dwells on past glory, mentioning a time when she had “17 gentleman callers.” As the matriarch, Foxworth gives an outstanding performance; Amanda is constantly on the verge of cracking but her survival instincts won’t let her break down. Foxworth embodies a woman who’s accustomed to getting her way, but in old age, she has a harder time forcing her will upon others. Amanda seems to be crushing her children, but Foxworth gives nuance to a character who’s ultimately dealing with shaken trust and disappointment.

She dreamed of a bigger life than she has in their small apartment, where the show takes place.

The production moves the show’s setting to New Orleans and from the 1930s to the 1950s, which is seen through cultural references such as talk about baseball player Jackie Robinson. This adjustment makes sense as the show’s cast is African-American, and that allows the show to focus on personal dynamics in a workable social context.

The younger Tom wants adventure, but since his father left town, he has to support the family by working at a factory. As Tom, Clay gives a steady, strong performance. Clay reigns in his energy to make Tom relatable as he struggles with his rebellious desires.

Laura’s insecurity is debilitating, and she barely goes out in public. Gayles shows emotional vulnerability, crying often and shrinking whenever anyone offers a compliment.

Amanda and Tom set up a dinner with Laura’s first “gentleman caller” (DC Paul), so, her mother hopes, she can get married and find security. In this show, family, like the Winfields’ small apartment, means confinement and sacrifice, and all the Wingfields struggle to get what they want.

Director Janet Spencer kept the show focused and evenly paced with smooth transitions from scene to scene. At times, however, actors had to work to be heard over the show’s music.

The Glass Menagerie was Williams’ first major successful play. Through solid acting and direction, this production continues the show’s legacy.
