SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

She’s joined by complementary singer-songwriter Charlie Worsham, whose Beginning of Things is out this month. At 8 p.m. at the Parish at House of Blues.

New albums and record release shows from New Orleans artists BY WILL COVIELLO & ALEX WOODWARD @ALEXWOODWARD

Sinkane with Eric Slick

Trombone Shorty Parking Lot Symphony (Blue Note) Making his debut for venerable jazz label Blue Note, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews slides comfortably into rich, intimate grooves weaving stripped-down funk and blues and loose, playful horns into a seemingly D’Angelo-inspired spin on his incarnation of New Orleans R&B. Fittingly, he takes a nearly straightforward stab at Ernie K-Doe’s classic “Here Come the Girls,” wedged into 10 original tracks, from the tight pocket of “Dirty Water” to a second-line beat filling out “Tripped Out Slim.” With Parking Lot Symphony, Shorty dutifully (and beautifully) bridges the past and present of New Orleans music with a confident voice he can call his own. Shorty presides over his annual Treme Threauxdown at 8 p.m. April 29 at the Saenger Theatre and at Shorty Fest at 8 p.m. May 4 at House of Blues.

Mike Dillon Life is Not a Football (Ropeadope) It was highly unlikely the versatile, unpredictable percussionist would sit quietly for long. After 2016’s excellent, subdued tribute to Elliott Smith and Martin Denny, among others, on Functioning Broke, Dillon returns with his Mike Dillon Band apostles (bassist Nathan Lambertson, guitarist Cliff Hines and drummer Paul Thibodeaux), game to follow his noisy jazz and punk experiments into heavy, heady madness. The album hits Melvins-esque guttural grooves and near-industrial and doom-like breakdowns riding Minutemen-inspired rockets, bringing Dillon’s social and political commentary and octopus-like command of his vibraphones and percussion

instruments along for the trip. Among his many upcoming performances, Dillon leads the Mike Dillon Band at 10 p.m. April 28 at Blue Nile and 10 p.m. May 2 at Siberia, and 6 p.m. May 4 at the Music Box Village with his massive Punk Rock Percussion Consortium.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band So It Is (Legacy Recordings) A trip to Cuba provided inspiration for the Preservation Hall Band’s latest album of original work, So It Is. With the exception of the title track’s bluesy flirtation with bop, the album packs a burst of upbeat tempos and exuberant sounds, recorded with the help of producer David Sitek of TV on the Radio. Charlie Gabriel (saxophone, clarinet) and artistic director Ben Jaffe (bass, tuba) wrote most of the album’s seven songs, and “La Malanga” (by Jaffe and Tao Rodriguez-Seeger) is steeped in Latin rhythms. The album was released April 21. The Preservation Hall Band begins its Midnight Preserves series of late-night concerts with special guests at Preservation Hall Friday, April 28.

Sweet Crude Creatures (Rhyme & Reason) On its anticipated debut album, the charming indie pop ensemble — buoyed by harmonized wordless chants and Alexis Marceaux’s captivating voice — carries its mission statement of marrying talented pop

songcraft with Louisiana Frenchspeaking traditions. But the band’s big pop hooks are universal. Sparkling synth and powerful percussion sing alongside whimsical fiddle plucks and a generous affection for rowdy Louisiana dance halls. The band performs at 11 p.m. May 4 at d.b.a. and 10 p.m. May 6 at the Civic Theatre.

Luke Spurr Allen featuring the Happy Talk Band Pothole Heart (Chicken Little) The latest from singer-songwriter Luke Spurr Allen digs into folk, campfire country and rock ’n’ roll with his dive bar storytelling. His Happy Talk Band — Mike Andrepoint, Steve Calandra, Casey McAllister, Alex McMurray and Bailey Smith — are joined by The Tin Men and appearances from Helen Gillet, Meschiya Lake and Tasche de la Rocha, among others. The album was recorded at Bywater studio House of 1000 Hz and Uptown’s Blue Velvet Studios and was inspired by the countless potholes and broken hearts in between. The band’s album release is 10 p.m. Friday, May 20 at Siberia.

THU. APRIL 27 | Londoner-via-Sudan Ahmed Gallab heads up the all-star Atomic Bomb! Band (with David Byrne, Damon Albarn and others) as well as Sinkane, his alter-ego funk project that plays like an expertly curated, equator-diving dance party. Life & Livin’ It (City Slang) is his latest. Dr. Dog drummer Eric Slick opens at 9 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

Red Baraat FRI. APRIL 28 & MAY 1 | Brooklyn ensemble Red Baraat — led by MC Sunny Jain and fresh off the release of March banger Bhangra Pirates (Rhyme & Reason) — brings its worldly funk to Gasa Gasa with Debauche at 10 p.m. Friday and Blue Nile with Soul Brass Band at 10 p.m. Monday.

Shannon and the Clams FRI.-SAT. APRIL 28-29 | The Oakland punks post up in New Orleans for a two-day revival of their rowdy doo-wop worship and fuzzed-out surf rock ’n’ roll. The band performs a free show with Whitney at Tulane University 5 p.m. Friday and joins Katey Red, Details and The Gushers at 10 p.m. Saturday at Siberia.

Instruments a Comin’ MON. MAY 1 | The Tipitina’s Foundation fundraiser to provide musical instruments to area schools features Galactic, Walter “Wolfman” Washington, Cha Wa, Rory Danger & the Danger Dangers, Fred Tackett of Little Feat, Donald Harrison Jr. and the TIP interns, high school marching bands and others. At 8:30 p.m. at Tipitina’s.

AFFORD IT

NEARLY ONE IN FIVE YOUNG PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS were the victims of human trafficking, according to a report from Loyola University New Orleans’ Modern Slavery Research Project. The project team interviewed 641 “homeless and runaway youth” ages 17-24 who had received care from Covenant House shelters, transitional living centers, apartment programs and drop-in centers in 10 North American cities, including New Orleans. The report — using a federal definition of human trafficking as “the use of force, fraud or coercion to control victims for the purpose of engaging in labor or sex trade against their will” — found that 19 percent (124 people) of respondents were victims of trafficking. Fourteen percent of respondents were trafficked for sex, and more than half of those victims say they were forced or coerced to do so. — ALEX WOODWARD

Comment

On our story ‘Louisiana Legislature to consider banning the death penalty in this year’s session’: “There is no reason that housing death row inmates should cost more than housing lifers. So, there is no incentive, there. All sanctions, all negative prospects and all negative incentives deter some. It has not and cannot be proven that they deter none. So the options are to risk sacrificing more innocents by not having the death penalty or to ‘risk’ saving more innocent lives by using the death penalty. Pretty easy decision.” — dudleysharp

I-10 News on the move 1. CHARBONNET STEPS DOWN TO RUN FOR MAYOR Municipal Court Judge Desiree Charbonnet resigned her judgeship last week so she can officially run for mayor. She had been rumored as a possible candidate for at least a month. In a statement to Gambit,, Charbonnet was circumspect about her political future because at that point she still was a judge. A source close to Charbonnet confirmed to Gambit that she had overnighted a letter of resignation to Secretary of State Tom Schedler. Louisiana law bars judges from running for non-judicial offices — unless they resign first — which is why Charbonnet submitted her resignation before declaring her intentions officially. “The city is too important to me to just sit on the sidelines,” Charbonnet told Gambit.. “As per the Judicial Canons, there are limits to what I can say at the moment. At the appropriate time, I will provide a more thorough explanation.” Charbonnet, 48, first won elective office in 1998, when she unseated incumbent Michael McCrossen to win the citywide Recorder of Mortgages post. In 2007, she easily won a special election for a seat on Municipal Court with 57 percent of the vote. She ran on a platform of partnering with local agencies to reduce domestic violence. In 2001, while Recorder of Mortgages, Charbonnet backed Paulette Irons for mayor; in 2006, Charbonnet lent her support to mayoral candidate Ron Forman against then-incumbent Ray Nagin. So far two other candidates have officially declared their intentions — former Civil District Court Judge Michael Bagneris and District B Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell. Qualifying is July 12-14, and the primary is Oct. 14. Current Mayor Mitch Landrieu is term limited.

2. Quote of the week “Many, many, many of the poor in New Orleans are in that condition [dependency]. They weren’t going to leave no matter what you did. They were drug-addicted. They weren’t going to get turned off from their source. They were thugs, whatever. ... It’s the absence of personal responsibility.” — Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly in 2005, days after Hurricane Katrina and the federal levee collapses inundated the city. Last week, after advertiser defection following a New York Times expose showing the network had paid out $13 million to five women who claimed O’Reilly sexually harassed them, Fox parted ways with their No. 1 host. In 2005, O’Reilly also expressed his desire that Katrina had hit the United Nations building.

3. Kennedy grilled in absentia at ‘citizens’ town hall’

Questions fell like hail on the impassive white face of a cardboard cutout meant to represent U.S. Sen. John Neely Kennedy, who was not present for a “citizen’s town hall” hosted April 19 at First Unitarian Universalist Church by the New Orleans and Metairie chapters of the progressive organization Indivisible. The crowd of 100 to 150 people voiced wide-ranging concerns about police brutality, deportations, equal pay for women, the preservation of scientific funding, Black Lives Matter,

the Affordable Care Act, coastal restoration, President Donald Trump’s budget plan and more. Unlike his counterpart, U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, Kennedy has not held a town hall in Louisiana since taking office in January, nor has he set up many district offices. “We really wanted to give him the opportunity to plan his own [town hall],” event organizer and Indivisible NOLA co-founder Joyce Vansean said. “You write letters, you get no response. You call, you get no response.” Kennedy became the target of a “milk carton” protest in March when he failed to open offices in the state promptly after his election. Speaking against proposed funding cuts for the National Endowment for the Arts, local artist Jebney Lewis tacked on a warning for Kennedy. “If you can’t show up to a town hall meeting,” he said, “don’t even think about showing up to our crawfish boils, our second lines, our festivals.”

4. Polite to Entergy Following his departure from the Department of Justice, former U.S. Attorney Kenneth Polite will go to work at Entergy Corp. In a statement April 18, Entergy announced Polite will serve as the company’s chief compliance officer for legal and regulatory matters. He replaced retired compliance officer Neal Jansonius. Polite announced his resignation as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana March 10, to be effective

March 24, but the announcement came just hours before President Donald Trump requested that all remaining Obama administration U.S. attorneys leave office. “I feel like Craig from Friday,” Polite tweeted March 11, referencing Ice Cube’s character getting fired on his day off. Polite said he’d announce “his future endeavors, in both the public and private sectors” soon after, leaving many to speculate whether he might run for office.

5. Cannizzaro vs.

ACLU of Louisiana

New Orleans District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro made national headlines this month for suggesting victims of violent crimes, including sexual assault, could be jailed for refusing to testify. “Is it more important for this witness to be inconvenienced for a very short period of time or is it better for the community to get the violent offender off the streets and keep him off the streets?” Cannizzaro told WWL-TV April 13. On April 18, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Louisiana slammed Cannizzaro for a “striking lack of empathy for the victims,” according to a statement from the ACLU’s Marjorie Esman. “Jailing people who refuse to testify against their abusers or attackers not only compounds the trauma they are already experiencing,” Esman wrote, “it effectively criminalizes the innocent for having been victimized.”

6. State Senate takes on opioid abuse

A bill from state Sen. Fred Mills, R-Parks, who ushered in the state’s plans for medical marijuana, is now taking on opioid abuse. Mills received committee and Senate support last week for a measure to get the state’s prescription monitoring program to automatically enroll people who write prescriptions for opioids. Mills also got support last week for a measure to add consumer advocates without any health industry ties to the state’s 25 health professional licensing boards. According to a 2016 report from the Center for Public Integrity and the Associated Press, Louisiana has the sixth-highest number of painkiller prescriptions per capita, with more opioid prescriptions written than there are residents. In New Orleans, 166 people died following opiate-related drug overdoses in 2016. In 2015, there were 81.

The New Orleans Saints’ 2017 season schedule was announced last week, and the Black and Gold’s season opener will be an away game against the Minnesota Vikings Sept. 11. The first home game will be a Sept. 17 Superdome matchup against the New England Patriots. Dedicated Atlanta Falcons haters will have to wait until December to see the Saints vanquish the Dirty Birds; there’s a prime-time game in Atlanta Dec. 7, with a noon home game against the Falcons on Christmas Eve.

9. City Council: Thumbs up to sex ed in local schools

The New Orleans City Council passed a resolution April 20 supporting comprehensive sex education reform and policies promoting access to reproductive health care. The resolution says the Council is “committed to making public health a top priority by promoting policies that ensure access to a full range of reproductive health services and eliminate disparities that prevent low-income women and women of color from seeking safe, high-quality care.” “This resolution serves as a firm and public commitment that New Orleans is committed to quality care for all of our people,” said District B Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell. The resolution also says the Council will support legislation pushing for New Orleans public schools’ participation in anonymous surveys to assess sexual health risk behaviors, which state Sen. Yvonne Colomb, D-Baton Rouge, has proposed in this year’s legislative session.

Hayes gets 25 years in Will Smith manslaughter case

Voters East of the Industrial Canal (VEOTIC) will host a panel April 25 focusing on women’s issues in politics, including political literacy, gender gaps in voting and women’s rights in general. Attendees include every female member of the current New Orleans City Council (Stacy Head, At Large; Susan Guidry, District A; LaToya Cantrell, District B; and Nadine Ramsey, District C), plus state Rep. Helena Moreno, who is running for the council seat being vacated by Head. Veteran organizer Timolynn Sams Sumter will moderate the discussion. The event is at St. Maria Goretti Church Community Center at 6:30 p.m. It’s free to attend.

Orleans Criminal District Judge Camille Buras last week sentenced Cardell Hayes to 25 years in prison without the possibility of parole for the shooting death of former New Orleans Saints player Will Smith in an April 2016 traffic altercation that drew national headlines. In December 2016 Hayes was convicted of manslaughter and attempted manslaughter in the incident that killed Smith and wounded his wife Racquel. Buras sentenced Hayes to 25 years for manslaughter and 15 years for attempted manslaughter, but ordered the sentences to run concurrently. Hayes could have been sentenced to 60 years.

Cannizzaro’s statement followed April’s Courtwatch NOLA report criticizing the issuance of material witness warrants, which force victims to testify in court. The report found 15 cases in which prosecutors issued material arrest warrants to get victims and witnesses to testify, but in a statement from Cannizzaro spokesman Chris Bowman, only six cases resulted in jail time — one of which was for a victim of sexual assault or domestic violence. “In light of the plethora of problems that this criminal justice system faces, the District Attorney is surprised that Courtwatch NOLA focused so much of its resources and attention on an issue that, according to their report, only affected a single person,” the statement said.

need for criminal justice reform is one of them. By any metric of any study, America is the most lock-’em-up nation in the world, and Louisiana is the most lock-’em-up state. We imprison the highest number citizens per capita in the U.S. Louisiana has barely 4 million people, yet we spend nearly $700 million a year to house prisoners. That makes no sense. Last week, coalitions of conservatives and progressive groups held separate criminal justice reform meetings to find ways to reduce Louisiana’s sky-high incarceration rate. The first, a Baton Rouge event, featured Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council and Mark Holden of Koch Industries along with Smart on Crime Louisiana (a coalition of business leaders and conservative groups) and the nonpartisan United Way of Southeast Louisiana. The group announced its support for recommendations made by the Louisiana Justice Reinvestment Task Force (LJRTF), which says reducing incarceration rates could save $300 million over 10 years — and improve public safety. Two days later, a second group rallied at the state Capitol in support of criminal justice reform. That group, Louisianans for Prison Alternatives (LPA), included Norris Henderson, executive director of Voice of the Ex-Offender (VOTE), a New Orleans group that long has advocated sensible sentencing reform. Like the conservative groups at the earlier meeting, LPA supports alternatives to prison for nonviolent crimes and “fair and consistent sentencing.” LPA also calls for sensible re-entry programs to break the cycle of recidivism. It is telling that one in three convicts released from a Louisiana jail winds up back in prison within three years. That statistic, among others, has been cited by the Rev. Gene Mills, head of the Louisiana Family Forum — one of the most influential conservative Christian forces in state politics — in explaining why he, too, supports sentencing reform. “For too many offenders, prison is not a place of rehabilitation, but for warehousing,” Mills says in a recent

YouTube video. “The problem with simply warehousing is that we graduate 17,000 ex-convicts each year. … Taxpayers are footing an enormous bill to re-incarcerate the same folks.” Though Gambit has taken issue with Mills many times in the past, we agree with him here and we add our voice to the growing chorus of support for a program of smarter sentencing policies. We emphasize, as do conservatives and progressives alike in supporting this concept, that sentencing reform is not “soft on crime.” Rather, it’s “smart on crime.” Locking up non-violent offenders and taking away any hope they have for rehabilitation is not tough on crime, it’s tough on taxpayers.

Locking up non-violent offenders and taking away any hope they have for rehabilitation is not tough on crime, it’s tough on taxpayers. A handful of bills in the current legislative session contain the recommendations of the task force, but despite widespread and bipartisan support for the effort, passage won’t be easy. Many district attorneys and sheriffs oppose some or all of the recommendations. Among the leading opponents are the Louisiana District Attorneys Association and Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro. We hope lawmakers will listen to the leading voices that are speaking out in favor of sentencing reform. They represent the views of folks who are footing the bill on Louisiana’s broken — and expensive — incarceration policies.

CLANCY DUBOS

An alternative to gridlock THE LOUISIANA CONSTITUTION OF 1974 WAS FAR FROM A PERFECT DOCUMENT when voters approved

it more than four decades ago. Proof of that is the fact that it has been amended more than 180 times — and lawmakers currently are considering still more amendments. Given the gridlock between the Republican-controlled House and Gov. John Bel Edwards, the prospects for long-range, comprehensive fiscal reform are dim. Heck, it would take a minor miracle to get a small gasoline tax hike out of the House, even though a clear majority of Louisiana voters support that idea as a means of putting more money into the state’s crumbling infrastructure. That’s one reason state Rep. Neil Abramson’s bill to convene a limited-purpose constitutional convention deserves serious consideration. If lawmakers can’t even agree on the simple things, maybe a constitutional convention can address the big picture. Abramson doesn’t frame his argument quite that way, but that’s the reality. Unfortunately, state lawmakers today can’t even agree on what fiscal reform means. Democrats focus on revising the tax code. Republicans focus on cutting the budget. Both are partly correct, but only partly — and neither side appears willing to find common ground. Governors and lawmakers have approached fiscal reform in a piecemeal fashion for decades. That hasn’t solved the overarching problem, and voters have grown leery of amendment after amendment, Abramson says, adding, “I am proposing what I believe to be the most efficient way to deal with these issues.” Abramson’s House Bill 456 mirrors legislation he has proposed for a decade. It would create a 27-member committee to determine if Louisiana’s constitution needs to be changed, which seems obvious. If (when) the committee decides that such is the case, it would outline an overall plan for the convention and potentially suggest ways for it to rewrite the taxing and spending provisions of the 1974 constitution. Under Abramson’s bill, convention delegates would be elected in 2018 from the 105 state House districts, and drafting committee members would become at-large

delegates. The convention would begin in early 2019 and produce a document for voters to ratify — or reject — in October of that year, when candidates for governor and the Legislature also would be on the ballot. Abramson, a Democrat who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee (which hears all tax bills), already has several GOP co-authors on his bill. “A state constitutional convention would allow a comprehensive rework of the state tax structure and state budget system as well as correct the state-local system,” Abramson says, noting the many mid-year budget deficits in recent years. The state’s budget picture is exacerbated by more than $4 billion that currently is protected in the constitution. In addition, Abramson says, “the state provides over $4 billion in state general fund revenue to local governments for local expenditures, while at the same time the constitution significantly restricts local governments from controlling their own local revenue decisions.” This is not news to anyone who has advocated fiscal reform since the mid-1980s, but perhaps the state’s current problems will be vexing enough to convince lawmakers to try an alternative to gridlock.

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ @GambitBlake | askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake, I’m unable to find information on Kennedy Park in Faubourg St. John. We’ve had events there and would eventually like to have a sign there, but no one knows when or why it was named that. CHARLIE LONDON

Dear Charlie, The small pocket park in Faubourg St. John, just two blocks off Esplanade Avenue, officially is known as Kennedy Place. It is bordered by Ursulines Avenue and Bell, North Lopez and North Rendon Streets. According to the New Orleans Public Library, it was created by city ordinance in September 1909. Its namesake isn’t President John F. Kennedy or a member of his famous family, but a former City of New Orleans comptroller (or chief financial officer) named Charles R. Kennedy. Born in New Orleans on July 26, 1853, Kennedy graduated from Jesuit High School when it was known as the College of the Immaculate Conception. After a few years in the business world, he entered politics as a clerk for the city Commissioner of Commerce, then worked for the New Orleans Board of Health and

finally as a bookkeeper in the city comptroller’s office. Kennedy was elected city comptroller in 1892. According to a 1912 article in The Times-Picayune, Kennedy also represented the 6th Ward in the state Legislature from 1884 to 1886 and was elected constable of First City Court in 1900. A May 2, 1916 obituary called Kennedy a “prominent figure in politics” and a member of the Choctaw Club, which was home to the “Old Regulars” — a nickname for the Regular Democratic Organization that dominated city politics for generations.

BLAKEVIEW THIS WEEK MARKS THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF A PRESIDENTIAL VISIT TO NEW ORLEANS that led to one of the most beloved quotes by a mayor of

this city. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his son Elliott arrived in New Orleans by train April 29, 1937. According to diaries kept by the FDR Presidential Library, they visited Biloxi and Gulfport, Mississippi earlier in the morning. Among the president’s first stops at New Orleans was Antoine’s Restaurant for lunch. Joining FDR and other dignitaries at the table were Gov. Richard Leche and Mayor Robert Maestri. Maestri, a native New Orleanian with the 9th Ward “yat” accent to match, was urged to say as little as possible to the president. Legend has it that Maestri couldn’t resist, however, when FDR was served oysters Rockefeller. The mayor famously asked, “How ya like dem ersters?” After lunch, FDR traveled to City Park to dedicate the Roosevelt Mall, which was named in his honor and built by the Works Progress Administration he established. He also toured the Bonnet Carre Spillway, which recently had been completed. FDR spent the night in New Orleans aboard the U.S.S. Moffett, then departed for Texas and a fishing cruise.

NOLA Til Ya Die

NOLA Til Ya Die owner Kathleen McCall poses with merchandise bearing her company’s logo.

BY PADMINI PARTHASARATHY NOLA TIL YA DIE (3536 Toulouse St., 504-281-4928; www. nolatilyadie.com), founded by Kathleen McCall, is a call to arms for those who consider themselves New Orleanians now and forever. McCall was looking for a simple way to explain that she wouldn’t be leaving New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Her company’s smiling skull logo, embellished with hurricane-swirl eyes, initially was a symbol to explain her stance. “(The company) was kind of founded on a whim,” McCall says. “It was after Katrina and I was doodling and I had to fly back and forth to keep clients in the Northeast and in doing so, I (felt) like there wasn’t a fun, positive way to define this city at the time.” Though originally from the Northeast, McCall has called New Orleans home since 2001. “(Before moving to New Orleans), I lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I had gone through the dot-com crash (and) 9/11 and it was a rough time business-wise,” she says. “I had gotten really tired of the rat race. I had a good friend that I’d grown up with who lived down here so I used to visit quite often. At that time, I decided I was just going to pick up and go.” McCall credits her decision to New Orleans’ unique climate, culture, diversity and architecture. After Katrina, she was peppered with questions about her decision to stay put. “I got tired of people asking me why I was coming back here and why I was staying,” she says. In response, she designed a brand and a logo that spoke for her. “People forget that it’s people’s homes and not just a tourist destination,” McCall says. McCall wants to use NOLA Til Ya Die to connect and support other organizations in the community. Recently, NOLA Til Ya Die got involved with the New Orleans 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb, an organization that raises money for the families of Louisiana first responders who have lost their lives. She partnered with the organization to design a “Remember Til Ya Die” shirt. “The idea is to give back to the city and to kids and different nonprofit organizations,” she says.

McCall also has partnered with Evacuteer, an organization that educates people about evacuation during disasters; Save Our Cemeteries, a nonprofit group that aims to preserve and protect historic New Orleans cemeteries; and other local organizations. NOLA Til Ya Die helps with event planning as well as designing and selling shirts and other products for those events. A percentage of the proceeds from the company’s sales and events go to partner organizations. McCall has plans for even more outreach programs.

“I would like to do more to help girls in the city, perhaps through a scholarship or through partnering with different organizations around the city,” McCall says. Recently, she rolled out the “Homegrown” collection, which tacks “Til Ya Die” onto specific New Orleans and Louisiana locales. McCall wants people to define “Til Ya Die” for themselves. “It’s not for us to tell you what it is or how it’s defined,” she says. “Every person has their own piece that they take away from it.”

INTERVIEW

Nas with BY NATHAN MATTISE

Soul Rebels The

THE SOUL REBELS HAVE INCORPORATED HIP-HOP in their brass

band sound since the band was founded 25 years ago. It’s now collaborating with hip-hop stars. In mid-April, the band traveled to the Byron Bay Bluesfest in Austalia to perform with Nas, adding a funky horn section to hits such as “Hate Me Now.” Local audiences get a chance to see Nas and The Soul Rebels reunite on the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival’s Congo Square Stage at 5:30 p.m. Friday. The Soul Rebels join Talib Kweli for a European tour this summer. “Hip-hop is rooted in soul, funk and jazz,” says Lumar LeBlanc, percussionist and a founding member of The Soul Rebels. “We try to bring hip-hop music to life with our instrumentation, sound and collaborations.” The Soul Rebels have always been willing and capable collaborators, and in recent years, such arrangements have become a major focus. In a series of shows at New York City’s Brooklyn Bowl in March, the band performed with guests including Rakim,

Consequence, Raekwon of WuTang Clan and Jarobi of A Tribe Called Quest. In recent years, it also has performed with Joey Bada$$, Mobb Deep, Pharoahe Monch and Macklemore. “We love bringing a reimagined sound, fresh look and excitement to the music in collaboration with artists,” LeBlanc says. “We just like to have fun and play great music with our friends and musical heroes.” It also has embarked on stylistic departures, performing with Metallica and Marilyn Manson (the band says it is in discussions with Manson about more live shows and a recording project). The collaboration with Nas, which began with a show at the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival last summer, had more personal appeal. “The personal connection with Nas is what means the most to me,” says trumpeter Julian Gosin. “His music helped me get through grade school.” LeBlanc and Gosin say these collaborations require a different approach for the band. “It’s about

connecting with the artist we’re collaborating with onstage — and the process of collaboration is really about trust and mutual love of the music,” Gosin says. Sometimes a connection must be developed in just a few rehearsals. “We played and rehearsed in [New York City] last year, but (performing in Australia) was so special,” LeBlanc says. “We talked music and its impact on life, and he’s very inspirational for me and for The Soul Rebels.” LeBlanc and Gosin point to Nas’ sound and lyrical message (“the funk and depth”) as what drew the band to work with him. They say the band’s strengths emphatic horns complement the rapper’s complex thoughts, and the band’s penchant for a tight groove pocket enhances his music’s funk. “As a band, we’ve truly transitioned into integrating different musical styles and experiences, pushing the limits of brass music and popular music,” Gosin says. “Our main effort has been to take our sound, (our) look and musical contribution to the

mainstream. We’re the foremost brass ensemble within contemporary music today; our band has the soul factor, which transcends genre.” “Our mission and main focus is to always stretch and present our own music and sound,” LeBlanc says. “The Soul Rebels’ musical journey continues to grow. Our music is very much inspired by the great musical friends and collaborators around us, but the main focus will always be to present our own creativity and songs.”

Batiste Fathers & Sons ACURA STAGE Funk-filled R&B rooted in second-line and Mardi Gras Indian rhythms shines in this drum- and percussion-heavy family legacy band made up of members hailing from the Batistes’ local music dynasty. Helmed by keyboardist David Batiste Sr., Batiste Fathers & Sons features the patriarch alongside his progeny, drummers Russell and Jamal, drummer and keyboardist Ryan, percussionist Damon and David Batiste’s grandson, Christopher. Together, they carry the torch for a legacy that’s influenced New Orleans brass, funk and jazz institutions, ranging from the Olympia Brass Band to The Meters.

Kristin Diable & the City GENTILLY STAGE With her 2015 album, Create Your Own Mythology, Baton Rouge-born singer/songwriter and guitarist Diable moved into new territory, opening up her soulful lyrics to a more confessional bent. Combined with expansive, layered arrangements, phrasing that isn’t afraid to languish in a moment and guitar work that draws on both the blues and ’60s psychedelia, the release earned national praise. “Magnolia,” her new single, proves that Diable’s adopted hometown of New Orleans inspires her.

12:40 P.M.-1:30 P.M. Soul Brass Band LAGNIAPPE STAGE Derrick Freeman corralled a crew of young modern jazz all-stars for his new project, Soul Brass Band, a parade-ready eight-piece group boasting flexible grooves, tight horn arrangements and smart takes on old-school jams and brass band standards. The lineup also features Leon “Kid Chocolate” Brown, Terrance Taplin, James R. Martin, Steven “Tuba Steve” Glenn, Danny Abel, Kevin Louis and Aron Lambert, all of whom have contributed to the city’s jazz, funk and traditional brass band communities in recent years. Freeman, a drummer and singer with dynamic stage energy and a biting sense of humor, has fronted several funk and soul bands in the decades since he came to New Orleans to study jazz at the University of New Orleans. He also has worked closely with luminaries including Shannon Powell and Walter Payton, experiences that help inform his role in leading a brass band, particularly given that he’s not behind his drum kit here, playing snare. Soul Brass Band’s debut album is due out this fall.

Pineiro died in 1969, but the group continues to perform his timeless compositions. Pineiro is best remembered for adding trumpet to his son compositions, giving them constant countermelodies that keep the songs moving. There have been many lineup changes over the years, but the group has retained a core sensibility, style and repertoire. Its 2009 U.S. tour was its first visit in 76 years. This year, the group returns with renewed vigor, performing its dance-friendly, exciting repertoire with style, energy and sophistication.

Trumpet Mafia WWOZ JAZZ TENT What began as a group of trumpeters practicing together in summer amid a seasonal lack of gigs and abundance of heat and humidity has become one of the most creative — and swinging — modern jazz acts in town. Trumpeter Ashlin Parker leads the band, which usually also features Leon “Kid Chocolate” Brown, Michael “King Fame” Bradford and Scotty “High Notes” Frock. Guests have included more experienced players like Nicholas Payton. Listeners may hear anything from jazz arrangements of OutKast tunes to standards such as “Caravan.”

improvised music scene, Helen Gillet’s solo performances showcase a mix of her original cello playing, vocals and loop-based compositions as well as bits and pieces from her extensive repertoire of traditional music. French chansons? Check. Belgian drinking songs? Yep. While her unique instrumentation and Belgian upbringing often are noticed first, Gillet’s also a powerful songwriter and an expressive singer capable of moving a crowd to tears, laughter and, well, drinking, all in the course of one set. Keep a tissue in your pocket for the heart-wrenching “Julien” and a beer in your hand for the boozy Francophone numbers.

members’ Cajun heritage, they’re adept at both styles. They also bring serious energy, chops and individuality to what they do. Founder Wilson Savoy, whose parents are Cajun music masters Ann Savoy and Marc Savoy, handles accordion and fiddle duties, though his Jerry Lee Lewis-esque keyboard playing often elicits the biggest cheers. Fiddler Courtney Granger is as much a student of Cajun music history as he is well-versed in the old-school country feel of his solo work. Guitarist Jon Bertrand is prone to technically precise, fast-paced retro rock-outs. Balfa Brothers devotee Drew Simon plays drums and Thomas David plays bass.

3:10 P.M.-4:15 P.M. Leon Bridges GENTILLY STAGE There’s a vulnerable innocence at work in much of singer/songwriter Leon Bridges’ ’60s soul-influenced 2015 album, Coming Home. His voice catches almost imperceptibly at one point on the aching “Better Man” as he asks for another shot at a presumably failed relationship. “Lisa Sawyer,” an homage to Bridges’ mother, is steeped in glowing yet simple imagery, including the depiction of his mom’s childhood on Louisa Street in New Orleans. Details like those — along with the album’s warm, analog hum and the muted gospel undertones of Bridges’ singing style — make it easy to see why Sam Cooke’s name gets invoked in reference to the 27-year-old. But Bridges doesn’t limit his influences when it comes to finding sources of inspiration. “Sometimes I need to throw on some (John) Coltrane,” he tweeted in March, “and sometimes I need to throw on some Young Thug.”

5:25 P.M.-6:55 P.M. Harry Connick Jr. ACURA STAGE Despite being one of New Orleans’ most successful jazz exports, Harry Connick Jr. has long juggled his music career with film and television work that can keep him off the road and out of the studio for extended periods of time. That may be why he often seems so consumed with the spirit and sounds of his city when he returns to perform. A soulful singer whose voice seems custom-made for ballads, Connick also is a strong multi-instrumentalist, a skill he showed off on 2016’s That Would Be Me, which also saw him delving into rap (sort of), along with some other surprises. If the past is any indication, he’s likely to have former teachers James Booker and Ellis Marsalis in mind when he sits down at the piano at Jazz Fest. He often performs songs from New Orleans’ modern jazz repertoire, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to hear work from That Would Be Me, and hopefully, at least one tribute to his childhood mentor, Booker.

5:30 P.M.-6:45 P.M. Blue Lu Barker Remembered

ECONOMY HALL TENT Baton Rouge based singer-songwriter Quiana Lynell joins Meschiya Lake for this homage to New Orleans jazz and blues legend Blue Lu Barker, whose voice made classics out of tunes such as “Don’t You Feel My Leg,” which she recorded with her husband, banjoist Danny Barker. While Lake shares Barker’s affection for irreverence, Lynell’s recent musical tribute to Baton Rouge suggests a sense of place resonates in her work, as it did in Barker’s. It’s probably not a coincidence (particularly if Shannon Powell is in the drum chair) that Barker’s final recording was captured at the 1989 Jazz Fest set she played with Powell and her husband.

6:05 P.M.-6:45 P.M. Pastor Terry Gullage and the Greater Mount Calvary Voices of Redemption Choir GOSPEL TENT This sprawling choir hails from New Orleans’ West Bank, where services feature a live band and plenty of praise-invoked dancing from the 40-plus singers backing Pastor Terry Gullage and the church congregation that makes up his fan base. The long-running choir and its backing band are reliably high-energy and soulful, tapping into New Orleans musicians’ long history of looking to the church for creative inspiration.

Hugh Masekela INTERVIEW

BY JENNIFER ODELL

A CHORUS OF VOICES singing in work-style unison sets the stage for the first song on Hugh Masekela’s new album, No Borders. A growling, funk-laced guitar chimes in before Masekela sings: “I been workin’ in your house 500 years / You never give an aboriginal a break.” A torrent of orders, presumably from colonizer to colonized, follows: “Dig that hole … shoot that boy … shuffle and bow.” It’s an intense opening on an album whose title implies a call for unity. But as the South African trumpeter and singer explained via phone, colonization left African communities around the world shackled to belief systems based on false differences. No Borders reflects Masekela’s mission to break through those chains, in part by celebrating African cultures and sparking what he believes is much needed self-reflection. “I don’t think I’m trying to be political,” Masekela says. “It’s just a fact that we’ve been working in the colonial factory for 500 years, and we still haven’t woken up to just how scattered we were by the colonial systems. We’re at a point now where we actually believe that our only heritage was primitive and backwater and all these negatives. “Italians are Italians, Jews are

Jews, Irish are Irish, but when it comes to us, either Americans or Jamaicans or Nigerians,” he says. “We’ve been scattered so much — in our brains also — that we don’t believe that we are the same people.” That “scattering” has had tangible effects on the pioneering musician’s life and career. In a way, it comes full circle at his performances at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. There’s a Jazz Epistles reunion with pianist Abdullah Ibrahim on April 26 and a celebration of Louis Armstrong with Dr. Michael White on May 4. The Ibrahim reunion dates back to 1959, when Masekela and his shortlived but wildly popular sextet, the Jazz Epistles, recorded the first LP by a black South African band, Jazz Epistle Verse 1. A year later, amid resistance to the South African government’s apartheid system, 69 protesters were killed in the Sharpeville Massacre. As authorities clamped down, Masekela — along with his former Epistles bandmate Ibrahim (then known as Dollar Brand) and others — left the country. Masekela studied at New York’s Manhattan School of Music. Within a few years, he was recording national hits, including 1968’s

Apr 29TH

“Grazing in the Grass.” The tune has since been covered by many pop and jazz artists. Around the same time, Masekela began developing a relationship with New Orleans and its musicians. “I first came to New Orleans in 1968 to play Al Hirt’s club,” says Masekela, adding that he played Jazz Fest “when it was very small.” Over the years, he ran into White at a few festivals. “We were both very big fans of Louis Armstrong, so we always talked about doing a Louis Armstrong performance together. I’m very excited that it’s coming around. … If it weren’t for Louis Armstrong, the world would still be square and we would probably still be wearing white wigs. He loosened up a very stiff world.” That vote of confidence for Satchmo, however, doesn’t mean Masekela sees endeavors like his post-apartheid reunion with Ibrahim or the release of No Borders as having the power to tangibly undo unjust colonial legacies. “If it could, it would have done it long ago,” he says. “You know, Billie Holiday, Ma Rainey, Louis Armstrong were singing about injustice 70, 80 years ago.” None fought a winning battle through music against what Masekela described as “the conspiracy of politics and business,” but he does see an answer. “We need to create places where people can go and study the truth about Africa, the truth about African history, and learn,” he says. “Other societies know their history. “There was a need to make it through many centuries. If we can find out what happened during those centuries, maybe we can find out who we really are.”

Lost Bayou Ramblers GENTILLY STAGE Hailing from Arnaudville, bandleader brothers Andre (button accordion, lap steel) and Louis Michot (fiddle, vocals) built a band on the traditions and memories of Les Freres Michot, the Cajun family band into which they were born. What they created with the Lost Bayou Ramblers is a blend of traditional and modern elements and a dance-friendly cacophony of structured punk rock energy and sound. The Ramblers drew a Grammy Award nomination in 2008 for 2007’s Live: A la Blue Moon, created the score for the film Beasts of the Southern Wild, collaborated with artists including the Pogues’ Spider Stacy and Violent Femmes’ Gordon Gano and recently delivered an unforgettable afternoon show at Preservation Hall. The band is at its very best live — stripped down to the basics of timeless CajunFrench melodies and lyrics that allow its stage-shaking rhythms to shine through. The band will release the album Kalenda in August.

Lost Bayou Ramblers | 11:15 a.m., Gentilly Stage founded by Ignacio Pineiro in 1927. Pineiro died in 1969, but the group continues to perform his timeless compositions. Pineiro is best remembered for adding trumpet to his son compositions, giving them constant countermelodies that keep the songs moving. There have been many lineup changes over the years, but the group has retained a core sensibility, style and repertoire. Its 2009 U.S. tour was its first visit in 76 years. This year, the group returns with renewed vigor, performing its dance-friendly, exciting repertoire with style, energy and sophistication.

1:55 P.M.-2:45 P.M. & 4:35 P.M.-5:30 P.M. Telmary y Habana Sana CULTURAL EXCHANGE PAVILION Telmary Diaz, born in Havana and based in Toronto, is a self-described “jazz poet.” The rapper/ singer has gained renown through her colorful fusion of traditional and contemporary Afro-Cuban

and Latin sounds with rap, spoken word, reggae and other stylistic influences. Often switching between styles and aesthetics within the same song or passage, there is a global noisiness to her work, albeit positioned within a Cuban musical framework. Her music videos are colorful, abstract and post-modern, and her music can be described the same way. She discusses her music at the Allison Miner Music Heritage Stage at 3:30 p.m. Friday.

3:05 P.M.-4:05 P.M. Sunpie and the Louisiana Sunspots FAIS DO-DO STAGE Bruce “Sunpie” Barnes was born in Benton, Arkansas, and gained an affinity for French-Creole Louisiana at an early age, influenced in part by his Louisianan mother. The vocalist, accordionist and percussionist focused on zydeco music following a stint in the NFL, and while working as a photographer, television and film actor and a ranger at Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Preserve. He and his band, the Louisiana Sunspots, perform high-energy Afro-Louisiana roots music, particularly zydeco and Creole.

3:25 P.M.-4:35 P.M. Amos Lee GENTILLY STAGE Folk and soul singer-songwriter Amos Lee was performing at open mics in his native Philadelphia before a demo CD led him to gigs opening for Norah Jones and Bob Dylan, as well as a contract with Blue Note Records, which has released five of his albums. He since has toured with Elvis Costello, Merle Haggard and Adele. Lee’s style of roots music emphasizes technical skill and mood, drawing comparisons with David Rawlings. Touring off the strength of his 2016 album Spirit, which he also produced, Lee infuses more modern R&B sounds into his hybrid style. Spirit features careful arrangements that also work well live, a step outside the intimacy of his other work’s singer-songwriter approach.

4:15 P.M.-5:30 P.M. Tribute to Pete Fountain PEOPLES HEALTH ECONOMY HALL TENT With his clarinet, Pete Fountain brought New Orleans’ traditional jazz sound into American living rooms through countless appearances on The Lawrence Welk Show, The Tonight Show and many other television programs. A musical ambassador for New Orleans, Fountain died in August 2016, leaving behind a legacy built on the Warren Easton High School alum’s local pride, prolific recordings and warm personality. This musical tribute features clarinetists Tim Laughlin, a protege and friend of Fountain’s, with whom he opened the Blue Room at The Roosevelt Hotel in 2009, and Evan Christopher, a California native who pursues early Creole jazz styles. Wendell Brunious, the longtime Preservation Hall trumpeter, and swing-style jazz singer Banu Gibson also perform. Pete Fountain’s great-granddaughter, Isabella “Izzy” Harrell, also makes an appearance with the band.

JOHNNYSWIM SHERATON NEW ORLEANS FAIS DO-DO STAGE Songwriter/guitarist Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano, who is Donna Summer’s daughter, met in Nashville and began a songwriting partnership that later resulted in marriage.

concert helped the band reach new audiences. Polished vocals and bright, layered pop sounds feature prominently on the duo’s latest album, 2016’s Georgica Pond, which was produced by Ramirez. Its close harmonies, busy lyrics and sharp guitar work are matched by the duo’s upbeat energy. Georgica Pond is their most ambitious work to date, and it features a host of guest players and instruments, concluding with a great cover of Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game.”

5:15 P.M.-6:55 P.M. Alabama Shakes GENTILLY STAGE Lead singer/guitarist Brittany Howard and Zac Cockrell, Heath Fogg and Steve Johnson comprise Alabama Shakes, a band that incorporates disparate musical elements into a cohesive roots rock

whole. At turns channeling influences from Otis Redding and Amadou and Mariam, Alabama Shakes has combined garage rock and blues aesthetics and organic charm to appeal to critics and audiences alike. The band’s 2015 album Sound and Color is a soulful and introspective departure from its debut, Boys & Girls, which featured the hit “Hold On.” “Don’t Wanna Fight,” the lead single on Sound and Color won a Grammy for Best Rock Song, and in 2017, the band was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Performance for “Joe” live from Austin City Limits.

5:15 P.M.-6:55 P.M. Maroon 5 ACURA STAGE Bandleader Adam Levine has taken Maroon 5 to new heights in recent years via his role as the lead judge

on NBC’s The Voice. With Maroon 5, his signature octave-leaping, falsetto vocals and pop sensibilities propelled tunes including “Moves Like Jagger,” “Payphone” and “One More Night” to the top of the charts. More recent works include 2017’s “Cold.” New Orleansborn and New Orleans-based keyboardist P.J. Morton joined the group in the early 2010s, giving the band some local appeal.

5:25 P.M.-6:55 P.M. Usher and the Roots CONGO SQUARE STAGE Partnering for a three-hour concert at the Philadelphia band’s annual music festival last year, The Roots — the versatile hip-hop outfit and current house band for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon — backed one of the best-selling artists of all time, a giant in modern R&B and a radio staple for nearly 20 years. But, as drummer and bandleader Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson explained to The Fader, the band didn’t merely play the tracks for Usher, whose output is full of perfectly polished PAGE 33

gems. Thompson wanted to find the dirt. “What if Usher came out in 1973?” Thompson said. “When most people think of Usher, they think of the sexiness factor, of women oohing and aahing. Here’s the thing: He has an amazing voice. I wanted to use that in its pure form.” And with that, The Roots and Usher became one unit, with the band using its signature warmth and off-the-cuff adaptability to mesh with Usher’s star power, transforming massive club tracks and hyper-compressed radio singles into pure funk. It worked so well they took it on tour. The performance joins the growing list of high-profile collaborations on the Congo Square Stage, from Nas and The Soul Rebels linking up in 2017 (5:30 p.m. Friday) to John Legend’s soul set with The Roots in 2011. The stage (and the festival) is at its best when it bridges genres and shows audiences — as Thompson said of the band’s work with Usher, a key to “understanding the way that the present connects to the past,

understanding what the future’s job is in maintaining that connection.”

5:35 P.M.-7:00 P.M. Jonny Lang BLUES TENT Fargo, North Dakota-born blues rock guitarist and vocalist Jonny Lang canceled a 2016 Jazz Fest appearance in the Blues Tent, but he’s back on the bill this year at the heels of an Experience Hendrix tour, a guitarist-driven celebration of the music of Jimi Hendrix. Lang was a teenager when he released his debut album Lie To Me, and he followed up with several albums, including 2010’s Live at the Ryman. His 2013 studio album, Fight For My Soul, was released on his own label and features his touring band. Now 36, Lang has packed a lifetime of experience into his short career, having shared stages with The Rolling Stones, B.B. King, Aerosmith and Buddy Guy, and he has weathered personal difficulties and addiction.

NOON-12:50 P.M. A Tribute to Jo “Cool” Davis GOSPEL TENT The late Jo “Cool” Davis was a treasured, only-in-New Orleans figure. His gracious, booming baritone introduced many legendary shows at Tipitina’s. His signature white van was a familiar sight on Uptown streets, and his perennial show-stopping performances in the Gospel Tent all contributed to his local status. A who’s who of local gospel talents comes together to pay tribute to Davis, who died in August 2016 at 63. Cordell Chambliss — whose piano accompanied Davis in many concerts, churches and studio sessions — is joined by vocalists Barbara Shorts, Charles Moore and Robert Pate.

The Lafayette native has produced Grammynominated records (for Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys’ Grand Isle and Doyle Bramhall’s Is It News),

is a TV and film score composer (earning a Grammy nod for work on HBO’s Louisiana-set series True Blood — in addition to work on Treme) and a songwriter and frontman with fierce Deep South dirty-blues, electric-guitar chops. He’s known on national stages as part of the Louisiana supergroup Lil’ Band O’ Gold (which opened for Robert Plant on his 2013 American tour). He’s also known for leading his longtime band, the Lafayette Marquis, a well-oiled machine playing a high-octane blend of blues, rock, Cajun and zydeco styles.

12:30 P.M.-1:20 P.M. The New Orleans HipHop Experience featuring Sqad Up, Denisia, Roca B and T-Ray the Violinist and Dreams 2 Reality CONGO SQUARE STAGE This showcase spans decades and styles of New Orleans hip-hop. In the late ’90s, Squad Up assembled the megawatt talents of Lil Wayne, Gudda Gudda, Raw Dizzy and Kidd Kidd and blew up the scene as one of the first local groups to push its sound and flows via mixtapes. After 10 mixtapes, the group neared a studio deal with Cash Money Records until Bryan “Birdman” Williams hit pause on the group’s career, causing the individual rappers all to launch solo careers, with varying degrees of commercial and artistic success. Reunion talk has run rampant since 2015, when Lil Wayne had his former group join him onstage for “We Ready” and “Best of Me.” Last year, Dizzy, who started the reunion hype with an Instagram post, recorded the single “Heaven” with Wayne. It’ll be interesting to see how these 50 minutes transpire, considering the bill also features self-proclaimed “Princess of New Orleans” Denisia and her dance-minded, party-time pop, rising R&B sensation Roca B, the jaw-dropping electric wizardry of T-Ray the Violinist and his collaborators in conscious-minded backbeats and words, Dreams2Reality.

styles and cultural/political statements in the high-minded mold of Lady Gaga, Boyfriend has crafted some stellar songs — marked by hypnotic deep reverb, trippy, pulsing beats and a well-calculated purring flow — and artfully scintillating videos. This week, Boyfriend drops her new EP and celebrates with a release party at Gasa Gasa, complete with her vintage fashion pop-up shop and new underwear line, “Undies for a Cause.” This rising star is best experienced live, when she dons vintage lingerie and hair curlers to take captivated crowds on a thrill ride. This show also features a guest spot for the funk of magnetic saxophone master Kris Royal and his R&B-flavored band, Dark Matter.

1:35 P.M.-2:45 P.M. Magnificent 7 ACURA STAGE While many Jazz Fest season talent mashups (shows often booked at nightclubs by out-of-state promoters) offer only unrehearsed noodle-fests, the members of Magnificent 7 share a long history together and have a familiar song catalogue from which to draw. Malone brothers Dave (Radiators) and Tommy (subdudes) ply their guitar-shredding skills and share vocal duties with free-agent piano ace John “Papa” Gros to flesh out a sound carried on the low end by Bonerama trombonist Mark Mullins (whose Fest-closing Sunday sit-ins with The Radiators are the stuff of local hippie lore). The lineup also features Galactic bassist Robert Mercurio, funky drummer Raymond Weber and the Latin-tinged percussion of Michael Skinkus.

1:50 P.M.-2:50 P.M. Chocolate Milk CONGO SQUARE For many, Chocolate Milk is the seminal funk band of New Orleans. Discovered in 1973 by its eventual producer, Allen Toussaint, the band infused a jazz sensibility into contemporary R&B for a powerful sound that propelled the group to an RCA Records contract and top 10 hit in “Action Speaks Louder than Words.” While it may not have the household name of The Meters, Chocolate Milk — Joe Foxx (trumpet, flugelhorn), Amadee Castenell (saxophone, flute), Ken “Afro” Williams (percussion), Mario Tio (guitar), Robert Dabon (keyboards), Frank Richard (vocals) and Dwight Richards (drums) — remains both a hidden treasure for old-school vinyl hunters and a band capable of jaw-dropping live performances.

3:15 P.M.-4:15 P.M. Dr. John & the Gris-Gris Krewe ACURA STAGE At 76 years old, Dr. John shows no signs of slowing down. His last two albums — his 2014 tribute to Louis Armstrong, Ske-Dat-De-Dat: The Spirit of Satch, and 2012’s Locked Down (produced by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach) — were outstanding and showcased his extraordinary range. Yet, what thrills local fans the most is Dr. John’s move last year to once again perform with an all-New Orleans band. Under the direction of bass master Roland Guerin, the GrisGris Krewe features drummer Herlin Riley and guitarist Eric Struthers and is earning rave reviews for crushing takes on the many classics in Dr. John’s decades-spanning catalogue.

Founder Alexander Delgado’s organically grown hip-hop ensemble has refined its pop sound and launched into Latin music megastardom with the single “Dancing,” a collaboration with Enrique Iglesias.

4:30 P.M.-5:35 P.M. Midnite Disturbers JAZZ & HERITAGE STAGE Loosely defined as Galactic in a brass-band context, the Midnite Disturbers represents a powerhouse lineup full of top-notch local talent. Propelled by project visionaries Stanton Moore and Kevin O’Day on drums, the sprawling band also features a full horn section that swings on the manic mastery of saxophonist Skerik, ace trumpeter Shamarr Allen and the pulsing trombone of “Big” Sam Williams, all carried out by Matt Perrine and Kirk Joseph on sousaphone for a full sound that’s rich, deep and funky.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers | 5 p.m., Acura Stage reers in rock and roll. Even if the Gainesville, Florida troubadour was zonked while composing some of the most popular singalongs in his extensive canon, there is no doubting his songwriting prowess and staying power. Petty managed to keep his ego in check and sustain the Heartbreakers, his backing band since 1976. Guitar wizard Mike Campbell still packs plenty of sick chops, whether pulling out a steel resonator for quieter tunes or plugging in for an effects-heavy wild ride, as he did while covering J.J. Cale’s “Travelin’ Light” when the group visited the Fair Grounds in 2012. The fact that audiences will know the words to many songs in Petty’s hits-laden set proves his career is the stuff of classic FM gold.

5:45 P.M.-6:50 P.M. Lorde GENTILLY STAGE 2013’s Pure Heroine catalyzed emotionally isolated, socially detached teenage malaise, with Lorde as its icon. “Don’t you think it’s boring how people talk?” she asks on the album’s opening line on “Tennis Court,” her reflection on her then-impending fame and an invitation to her listeners as if she quietly summoned

them to a midnight meeting. The album — fueled by the ubiquitous hit “Royals” — simmers with that moody energy, as the New Zealand artist modulates her shape-shifting vocals through rich bass and minimal soundscapes. Through whispered tales of anxious romance and social commentary over her black-shrouded pop, Lorde became a voice for lonely young people in an increasingly noisy and overshared world, while paradoxically becoming one of the most sought-after, best-selling performers with two Grammy Awards at age 17. Now 20, Lorde returns this summer with her anticipated second album, Melodrama, due in June. On its first single, the addictive hit “Green Light,” Lorde embraces the sweaty palms of breaking from an old relationship and finding her new independence, while embracing the comforts of a former love, maybe for the first time and certainly not the last. On the vulnerable piano ballad “Liability,” she learns to love herself despite a storm of insecurities and warnings to her friends and loved ones about her alienating fame. The first two singles continue a tradition of life lessons reflected in pop, about the things we tell ourselves and what we hope to become. Coming from Lorde, they also glimpse the beginning of an artist becoming herself.

began planning to feature Cuba in its Cultural Exchange Pavilion two years ago, well before then-President Barack Obama lifted the embargo against the island nation in October 2016. Since travel to and from Cuba has opened, there’s a full slate of music, craft and cultural displays in the Cultural Exchange Pavilion tent, located between the Congo Square Marketplace and the major food areas. Cultural exchange programming includes seven full days of music in the tent, plus headliners on other stages (see daily schedules). Havana-based Reggaeton group Gente de Zona performs at 3:35 p.m. Sunday on the Congo Square Stage (jazz pianist Chucho Valdes and Los Van Van visit during the festival’s second weekend). Other bands perform both inside the pavilion tent and on festival stages. The first weekend lineup includes hip-hop group Telmary y Habana Sana, Afro-Latin percussionist Pedrito Martinez’s group, Afro-Cuban band Groupo Caury and son group Septeto Nacional Ignacio Pineiro. Telmary Diaz, Pedrito Martinez and others will be interviewed at the Allison Minor Music Heritage Stage. There are drumming demonstrations in the Kids Tent. Conga Los Hoyos from Santiago de Cuba will lead parades around the Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots’ infield starting at 2:30 p.m. Saturday and 1:05 p.m. Sunday. Displays in the pavilion tent include images of Cuba by 30 contemporary Cuban photographers, an expo on Cuban tobacco and uniquely decorated humidors, a multimedia display on Cuban conga and Carnival celebrations and works in clay by sculptor Osmany Betancourt Falcon. Outside the tent, Roberto Guerra Hechavarria will created a 20-foot mural during the festival, and New Orleans and Cuban artists will collaborate on a mural in the Grandstand. Cuban food including ropa vieja, tostones (fried plantains) and black beans and rice will be served by Congreso Cubano, a New Orleans pop-up, at booths near the pavilion tent.

Hotel reservations

Church in Mid-City CHURCH ALLEY COFFEE BAR

Chef Phillip Lopez’s Petit Lion serves French bistro fare BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund AT PART & PARCEL , chef Phillip Lopez’s modern delicatessen, and at his restaurants Root and Square Root, there’s no mistaking who is in charge. The chef’s touch is evident everywhere — from creative charcuterie plates toppling with obscure cured meats and pickled bits to the avant-garde approach and cutting-edge techniques that pepper his creative menus. At Petit Lion, Lopez’s latest endeavor inside the glitzy new Troubadour hotel, it’s more difficult to spot the chef’s touch. Though the layout of the space is unique — anchored by a beautiful horseshoe bar — the muted hotel decor feels dated and at odds with the menu, a contemporary take on French bistro fare. It’s also hard to miss that it’s a hotel restaurant, because the open dining room feels like an extension of the lobby. The limited menu offers a few appetizers, salads and entrees and reads like a polished take on contemporary French cuisine. Execution, however, is hit and miss. Some of the smaller dishes are the most successful. Crab-stuffed deviled eggs were deliciously creamy and packed with Dijon mustard. Miniature potato crisps on top added a nice crunch, and a dollop of smoked caviar provided the briny touch needed to tie the flavors together. Also good was the trout rillette, in which creamy smoked fish spread is served under a cap of heirloom cherry tomato preserves. The tomatoes are sweet and burst with juices that pair perfectly with the fish.

There are moments when the restaurant ably carries the Francophile torch, including hanger steak au poivre and perfectly crisp pommes frites served with tangy lemon aioli. There are dishes that speak to the Middle Eastern influence in contemporary Parisian cuisine, such as berbere-spiced carrots. Chicken bonne femme is seasoned with sumac, giving the dish a light citrusy heat. While the flavors of the chicken were good, the meat was dry, and the final presentation of the dish was lacking. Potatoes were shriveled and overcooked. There’s been some hype about the restaurant’s burger, and some of it is warranted. Its two patties were perfectly cooked — in the delicate range somewhere between medium and medium rare — but they were doused in the kitchen’s special sauce, which drowned other components — melted American cheese, shaved red onions and pickles — and the bun was stale. One of the best things I ate at Petit Lion was a slice of carrot cake, a cream cheese-topped indulgence decorated with wispy carrot strips, tiny carrot marshmallows and buttery candied pecans. A quenelle

of house-made vanilla ice cream and streaks of salted caramel provided finishing touches. Here, finally, was some of the creativity and playfulness diners associate with Lopez’ restaurants — and it was delicious. Petit Lion feels like it’s still figuring itself out. It’s fraught with the tension of attempting to satisfy the hotel crowd and diners who have come to expect a more innovative approach from a chef who usually is not afraid to break the rules.

(4201 Canal St., 504-304-6306; www.churchalleycoffeebar.com) is now open in Mid-City after leaving its original location in Central City. The new coffee shop held a grand opening party April 15. Owner Renee Blanchard opened the community-minded shop in Central City in 2013. The cafe, which is named after a small alley in New Iberia where Blanchard’s grandfather owned a clothing store, moved into the Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center on Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard in 2014 and closed that location in December 2016. The new cafe shares a space with The Good Shop, from local retailer Goods that Matter (another previous Central City tenant), and the cafe functions as a coffee stop and gift shop. The cafe offers a rotating selection of micro-roasters, including Congregation Coffee Roasters and Cafe Grumpy. There are hot and iced espresso drinks, cold brew and drip coffee. The food menu features fresh pastries, sandwiches, avocado toast, salads and granola bowls. Sandwiches include a smoked ham and apple combination served with Creole mustard and goat cheese on a toasted bagel. Turkey, avocado and cheddar cheese are served on ciabatta, and a cucumber, avocado and goat cheese sandwich is served on pressed naan. The cafe offers delivery for a $15 fee and has catering services. Church Alley Coffee Bar is open 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. — HELEN FREUND

French Quarter. The owners of gastropub Saint Lawrence opened the casual spot across the street from the French Market, and it has indoor and outdoor seating and a spacious bar. The menu is different from the one at Saint Lawrence, but Saint Cecelia’s has a familiar Southern and Creole focus. It includes chicken and andouille gumbo, fried cucumber spears served with remoulade, fried chicken and waffles, Gulf fish amandine and Creole shrimp bordelaise pasta. The bar serves raw and char-grilled oysters, which are discounted during a daily happy hour from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. The cocktail list includes creative drinks (last week saw a frozen Pimm’s Cup and a Singapore Sling) and a rotating selection of frozen daiquiris. Saint Cecilia is open from 9 a.m. to midnight daily. It serves brunch and lunch until 4 p.m. and dinner from 4 p.m. to midnight. The bar’s namesake Cecilia is the patron saint of musicians and artists. The bar’s owners say they will donate $1 for each craft daiquiri purchased and a portion of all the restaurant’s proceeds from this year to The Roots of Music, a nonprofit that offers youth music education, academic support and mentorship. — HELEN FREUND

Koreole tables grocery/ restaurant opening Korean grocery and deli KOREOLE , scheduled to open on St. Claude Avenue, won’t open for a while, says owner Kayti Chung-Williams. She says she is under a doctor’s orders to maintain a low-impact lifestyle following radiation treatments she underwent last fall for a spinal cord tumor. Chung-Williams and her husband ran the popular Koreole, a Creole and Korean food stand at St. Roch Market. They left that location last year and announced plans to open a brick-andmortar grocery store and restaurant on St. Claude Avenue. The restaurant announced on its Facebook page last week that it had postponed those plans. “After much planning and decision making, we ... have decided to halt operations for the time being due to owner Kayti Williams’ health,” the statement said. “We were very excited and much anticipating serving our faithful and wonderful customers and community, but we realize that there is a time for everything.” Chung-Williams says she hopes to resume plans for the concept in the future. “We’re definitely sad and have been processing through this transition, but we are hopeful this is not the end of Koreole,” Chung-Williams said in an email. — HELEN FREUND

What’s your background in Cuban cooking? VEGA: I was born in the United States and raised in Miami by Cuban parents. In the early 1970s, a lot of the families were forced to leave (Cuba), and they were exiled to Spain and some of them landed in the United States. My family has a long history in Spain, and it’s where a lot of them still live. In those years when you weren’t allowed to visit Cuba, my primary influence was Spain, and that has been a big culinary influence. I worked in restaurants my whole life and I always wanted to open up my own establishment, but it wasn’t my plan when I moved here. I never made any Cuban food in Miami. It wasn’t until I came here that I started cooking the food of my grandmother. I moved here and I helped start a tour company, and after two years I burned out. I decided to take a few months off and make some Cuban food for my friends and see what they thought about it. ... At the moment we’re a catering service. We do a lot of pop-ups. We’ve been enjoying a residency at the Music Box and we’re always on the hunt for a brick-and-mortar. ... We’ve been doing a pop-up every Tuesday at Barrel Proof and we recently launched a very fun tapas night at The Franklin.

What influences are present in traditional Cuban cuisine? V: It’s a complicated question. Spain is ultimately where the story starts. The other half of the story is Africa, which is where a lot of Cuban ingredients and a lot of Cuban dishes come from. It’s very much the same as the New Orleans Creole story. Cuban cuisine, for the most part, is pre-revolutionary Cuban cuisine. It’s what I grew up eating in Miami, and what my grandparents cooked. It’s the food they grew up

with in Cuba before the revolution, before resources went scarce. ... In large part, what we call Cuban food is what is preserved and perfected and developed in Miami and in those exiled communities. Now there are people from the new generation who are coming from the island and trying this food, which is new to them because they were too young and never got to experience it because they didn’t have the resources. It’s fun for me. I’ll make picadillo and ropa vieja, which I ate growing up every weekend in Miami, but now I’ll get to make it for a 35-year-old trumpet player who tells me, “I’ve only ever heard about this.” I think there is a newfound interest now that Cuba is open. I think New Orleans is rediscovering its interest in being a Caribbean city, whether that’s Cuban food or Latin food or Caribbean food. I think what’s happening in Cuba is really inspiring people to go down that trail.

What are you serving at Jazz Fest? V: We’ll have a big 30-foot tent next to the Cuban (Cultural Exchange) Pavilion and Congo Square tent. We’ll be serving a menu of traditional Cuban food every day. On the second Thursday at 2 p.m., I will be giving a tostones and fried plantain demo. (At the booth) we’ll have a five-item menu and we’ll be serving arroz con frijoles, which is the traditional black bean stew, served over rice. We’ll also have ropa vieja, which is braised and shredded steak that’s been sauteed with the Cuban [trinity], what we call our sofrito, and some wine and tomato sauce. We will also be serving tostones, which are smashed and fried green plantains. Those will be served with a side of mojito, Cuban garlic and olive oil sauce, and we’ll also have Cuban coffee and ice pops. — HELEN FREUND

chatoula, 225-362-7604; www. facebook.com/lapurchasebrewingco) became fully permitted and licensed on April 7, making it Louisiana’s 35th brewery. Its grand opening is April 28-29, for which founders Andy and Lindsey Turcotte have brewed a standard porter, a vanilla porter, a Galaxy-hopped IPA, an English-style bitter beer, a kolsch, a hefeweizen and an amber ale. • New Faubourg Marigny brewery Brieux Carre Brewing Company (2115 Decatur St., 504-304-4242; www.brieuxcarre.com) celebrates National Mother Goose Day May 1 with three nursery rhyme-inspired beers. Mother Gooseberry Berliner Weisse is a tart soured-wheat ale brewed with fresh gooseberries. Pop Gose the Weasel is a traditional German gose made with local sea salt, and Hickory Chicory Bock is a weizenbock aged with smoked hickory chips and chicory root. • During the same week the Louisiana Craft Brewers Guild (www. labeer.org) held a beer tasting for state legislators, state Rep. Cedric Glover, D-Shreveport, introduced House Bill 610, which would forbid partnerships between state-funded universities and breweries.

mixed messages given to college students about alcohol — and the issues of drunk driving, sexual assault and obesity. The bill would impact the LSUTin Roof Brewing Company and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette-Bayou Teche Brewing partnerships. In 2015, Bayou Teche began brewing a series of beers based on Louisiana agricultural products. It includes Ragin’ Cajuns Ale, a light kolsch-style beer made with Louisiana rice. In fall 2016, Tin Roof, which was founded by LSU graduates and benefited from the school’s small business incubation program, partnered with LSU to sell Bayou Bengal lager. The brewery gives the university 15 percent of all proceeds from Bayou Bengal.

2015 Prisma Pinot Noir Casablanca Valley, Chile Retail $14-$15

ALTHOUGH CHILE’S CASABLANCA VALLEY is much closer to the equator than any European vineyard, the pronounced maritime influence of the ocean (less than 20 miles away) with cool morning fog and cloud cover provide growing conditions very conducive to viticulture. Pinot noir grapes thrive in cool climates and benefit from a long ripening period here. Pinot noir vines were planted in 2004 at 1,800 feet above sea level. This wine is a blend of three pinot noir clones produced from a single vineyard at the estate. Hand-harvested, gently crushed fruit underwent cold maceration in stainless steel tanks. The fermented wine rested in oak barrels for 10 months and aged in the bottle for 9 months. In the glass, the wine offers aromas of red berry fruit and a hint of oak and earth notes. On the palate, taste strawberry and cherry with soft tannins and good acidity. Drink it with brisket, braised beef short ribs, veal Marsala, venison sausage, roasted duck and chicken. Where to buy it: Bin 428, Faubourg Wines and Whole Foods Market in Mid-City and Uptown. Where to drink it: Catahoula Hotel, Bacchanal Wine, The Company Burger on O’Keefe Avenue and SukhoThai.

Whitney

EVEN BOB MARLEY — if he were alive — would concede “No Woman, No Cry” • 5 p.m. Friday is a played-out collegiate anthem at this • Tulane University point. But the comma placement in the Lavin-Bernick Center Quad title continues to fascinate, lending a George Jones-like second meaning to 31 McAlister Drive what is, on its face, a simple consolawww.tulane.edu tion. On Whitney’s “No Woman,” which introduces the band’s still-stunning 2016 debut Light Upon the Lake (Secretly PHOTO BY DOMINIQUE GONCALVES Canadian), the single entendre is plain to see. Singer/drummer Julien Ehrlich opens in a hit-the-road falsetto: drinking on the city train, waking up in L.A., sleeping alone, going through a change — or, no woman, lots of crying. The drop comes one minute in, with a pearlized stream of guitar tears that would make George Harrison gently weep. They’re bolstered by mise-enscene strings and, in the glorious final 60 seconds, a warm blast of horns, making sense of Ehrlich and co-founder Max Kakacek’s stated affection for Allen Toussaint. It’s one of the best indie-rock arrangements in years, the kind of thing you don’t often hear from a couple of 20-something songwriting novices (though each musician spent time in other talented outfits, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Smith Westerns, respectively). Amazingly, four other tracks reach for the heights of that vertiginous opener, paired up for maximum impact into two back-to-back sets: “Golden Days” and “Dave’s Song,” the vertebral bridge between two carefully sequenced sides; and “Polly” and “Follow,” a diptych denouement that lodges its waterfall melodies deep in your ears. The album’s immense charm is largely about the dichotomy between the sophisticated structures and the amateurism of Ehrlich’s vocals, like a kid singing along to his favorite songs, soon to be yours. Shannon & the Clams opens. Presented for free by Tulane University Campus Programming. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

REVIEW

Personal Shopper

GHOST STORIES AND FRENCH ART • 8 p.m. Thursday FILMS don’t typically coexist in the mind of the modern moviegoer. But that • Prytania Theatre doesn’t stop award-winning writer/di5339 Prytania St. rector Olivier Assayas (Summer Hours) (504) 891-2787 from orchestrating just that unlikely mashup with Personal Shopper. Assayas www.prytaniatheatrenewseems unconcerned with catering to the orleans.com expectations of even his most ardent admirers, as illustrated by this auda• The Broad Theater cious yet frequently trying film. 636 N. Broad St. That fearlessness and strength of vision may constitute the English-lan(504) 218-1008 guage Personal Shopper’s finest qualiwww.thebroadtheater.com ties. It begins in full horror genre-mode as a young woman named Maureen (Kristen Stewart) prepares to spend the night in a big, empty, creaky house in the French countryside, apparently hoping to make contact with a ghost. Very little is explained until later, long after the film takes its time establishing a supernatural vibe. What eventually follows combines elements of horror movies, crime thrillers, murder mysteries, family dramas and even coming-of-age stories. But Personal Shopper doesn’t appear interested in combining these elements into a seamless whole. Red herrings and loose ends abound, leading to a deeply ambiguous ending that will leave many viewers cold. But Assayas’ willingness to follow his own whims sets the stage for something unexpected and oddly compelling — a close examination of today’s digital-native “millennials” (at least as perceived by the 62-year-old director) through the film’s laserlike focus on the hopelessly self-absorbed and unhappy Maureen. Making any of that possible is the singular presence of Stewart, who moved from carrying teen vampire franchise The Twilight Saga to being an indie film darling. She has performed admirably in movies like Walter Salles’ adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road and Assayas’ last film, The Clouds of Sils Maria — through which Stewart became the first American to receive a Cesar Award (the French equivalent to the Oscars) for Best Supporting Actress. Stewart portrays Maureen as profoundly disconnected from every person in her life, including the recently deceased twin brother she half-expects to contact her from beyond the grave. Assayas said he would never have written this story if he hadn’t known Stewart personally, which is a comment on how closely identified the 27-year-old has become with whatever qualities one ascribes to her generation. Maureen works as the personal shopper for a celebrated actress-socialite, and she’s simultaneously disgusted and attracted by the high fashion and superficial glitz of her employer’s life. She also moonlights as a medium to the spirit world, a gift that was shared by her twin. It makes perfect sense in the context of the film when the story veers into a 20-minute text exchange between Maureen and an anonymous stalker who may or may not be her deceased brother. At this point, the medium becomes the message — how else would a narcissistic millennial communicate with the dead but through her iPhone? Assayas’ strange metaphysical thriller may be the first film to use the afterlife as a metaphor for the loneliness and isolation of day-to-day existence. That is the part of Personal Shopper that works best and seems most organic. There are a few long, private conversations between pairs of characters that provide almost all the expository information, but they also seem intentionally detached, artificial and weirdly out of sync. In the world of Personal Shopper, it seems the real ghosts may be counted among the living. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW truths often unfold slowly, especially where children are concerned. New Orleans plastic surgeon and artist Ruth Owens was born in Augsburg, Germany in 1959 to a young German woman and a black American GI, and her new paintings were inspired by childhood memories and old photos. Rendered in loose, expressionistic brushstrokes, most convey the warmth of her supportive home life, yet ironic contrasts abound. Eva and Skip, Augsburg, 1958 (pictured), portrays her parents on a date. It is touching yet crackles with the 20th-century psychic intensity of German movies by maestros like Josef von Sternberg and, especially, Rainer Fassbinder. In Eva, Ruth and Bubi, Augsburg, 1964, a confident blondish woman is walking a black dog with her cute, bronze-tone daughters — an ordinary scene rife with complex, resonant nuances. In Sarah, Fasching, 1980, a tawny little girl wearing a crown and a long white gown appears with two German-looking kids in a Bavarian car• Through May 6 nival pageant, a scene as dreamlike as a fairy tale. Eva reappears as a ghostly sculpture • Conspiracies: Paintings with a pale, spindly hound in White Specter, and mixed-media works Owens’ most direct reference to race as a haunting, pervasive presence, a deeply by Ruth Owens human paradox that even the most accomplished among us must navigate. • Surrounding CircumLandscapes can seem like inert expansstances: Paintings and es, but our impressions of them are deeply personal, shaped by our unique life experidrawings by Max Seckel ences.

Seckel’s images, like Dana DeNoux’s and Karie Cooper’s colorfully dreamy canvases at the nearby UNO St. Claude Gallery, explore the secret life of landscapes to reveal the subjectively personal nature of our relationship with our environment. — D.

Dividing the Estate

PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING PLAYWRIGHT HORTON FOOTE told compassionate and realistic stories about ordinary Americans coping PHOTO BY JOHN BARROIS with difficult situations and inevitable change. Sometimes called America’s Chekhov, Foote built many of his stories around characters living in small Texas towns much like his childhood home. Foote’s Dividing the Estate, recently produced by Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre and directed by Maxwell Williams, involves a Southern landowning family facing dwindling returns and ruinous taxation. Their great-great-grandfather, who served in the Union Army, purchased land cheaply after the Civil War to cultivate cotton. Now, two quarreling siblings want to dissolve the 100-year-old estate and get their “deserved” inheritance as quickly as possible. Strong, willful characters, engaging dialogue and contemporary issues make Dividing the Estate an enduring classic. Stella Gordon (Brenda Currin), the family’s 85-year-old matriarch, feels an emotional attachment to her history. Despite her grown children’s insistence, she swears she won’t sell the homestead. Stella survived the Depression and believes there must be a way to make the household self-sufficient again without resorting to drilling for oil. Son (Curtis Billings) dropped out of college to manage the farm but lately has had to borrow from the bank to pay property taxes. Stella, her daughter Lucille (Mary Pauley) and Son scrimp to make ends meet while son Lewis (Carl Palmer) draws funds against his future inheritance, mostly to pay off gambling debts. He obnoxiously complains of being treated like a child, having to ask for an advance on his allowance, while behaving like a spoiled juvenile. When his sister Mary Jo (Wendy Miklovic) arrives from Houston with big hair, gaudy clothes and a brash attitude, a clash of cultures is imminent. The luscious set, featuring traditional furnishings, pastoral paintings and a view of the prized, sunlit landscape, is perfect for the family drama. Scenic designer Jeff Cowie created the original set for off-Broadway and Broadway productions of Dividing the Estate and won awards for The Trip to Bountiful and The Orphans’ Home Cycle, plays Foote wrote about the South. Dividing the Estate’s sadness and sentimentality are balanced by the comic relief provided by faithful household servants Doug (Harold X. Evans) and Mildred (Carol Sutton), who have endured family members’ self-centeredness for decades. Their resigned, head-shaking reactions to old rivalries ease the tension and add to the story’s humanity. There is little doubt the beloved staff has been the glue that keeps the family together. Doug, 92, who came to the estate as a 5-year-old, is now unable to serve because of his trembling hands, yet he too is making a list of wants, including a lavish headstone and chorus of “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” Symbolizing the future, Son’s fiancee Pauline (Elizabeth Bartley) is a steadying influence, and contributes a much-needed pragmatic outlook. When Mama dies and no fortune is found, they must bond together and find solace in family. — MARY RICKARD
