SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

PH OTO BY B EN N E T T S ELL- K LI N E

Track listing

TUE. MARCH 19 | Though best known as the lead guitarist for Band of Horses, Tyler Ramsey has been releasing solo records for more than a decade. His latest, the February release “For the Morning,” shimmers with rich vocals and sweet melodies. Anne Elise Hastings opens at 9 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

Wednesday at the Square WED. MARCH 20 | Big Sam’s Funky Nation headlines the opening of the Wednesday at the Square concert series, which continues on Wednesdays through May 22. There are food and drink vendors at the events. RumpleSTEELskin opens at 5 p.m. at Lafayette Square.

A$AP Rocky, Earl Sweatshirt and Playboi Carti headline BUKU Music + Art Project March 22-23 BY RAPHAEL HELFAND BUKU MUSIC + ART PROJECT returns

to Mardi Gras World Friday and Saturday, March 22-23, with A$AP Rocky, Earl Sweatshirt and Playboi Carti topping an eclectic array of electronic and hip-hop artists with a few rock, pop and R&B acts sprinkled into the lineup. The festival also curates live graffiti mural painting and interactive art installations, making the event an immersive experience. For the 2018 event, organizers expanded the festival grounds configuration, leaving the main stage separated by train tracks (and occasional passing trains) from the riverfront entertainment. This year’s layout is largely similar, with three outdoor stages and the indoor Float Den and Ballroom spaces. The VIP rooftop viewing area has several DJ sets scheduled. Last year, the festival was marred by a cancellations, including headliner Lil Uzi Vert, some late arrivals (Migos) and rescheduled performances. This year’s scheduled lineup is strong up and down the card. Here are some artists to catch this weekend.

>> FRIDAY Rico Nasty catapulted to the top of the rap game last year, and her sixth EP, “Nasty,” is chock full of hits. She sings and raps with a signature rasp that scratches through even the most heavily autotuned passages. Teaming up with producer Kenny Beats, she’s found a formula for crafting trunk-rattling anthems, and she’s only getting started. 5:15 p.m.- 6 p.m., Ballroom. Death Grips is king of the message boards. MC Ride’s dark themes, shockingly graphic imagery and unorthodox flow presaged the current proliferation of metal rap. Zach Hill’s drumming is some of the most interesting in any genre. Together, they’ve been trolling the world for the better part of a decade. 7:15 p.m.8:15 p.m., Ballroom. Yves Tumor, aka Sean Bowie, is the most experimental electronic act in

“Book of Saints” THU.-SUN. MARCH 21-24 | The Marigny Opera Ballet reprises its original contemporary ballet based on the lives of St. Teresa of Avila, St. Francis of Assisi and St. Sebastian, accompanied by the New Resonance Orchestra and Krewe de Voix Chamber Choir. At 7 p.m. Thursday and Sunday and 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Marigny Opera House. this year’s lineup. His dark and slowly morphing instrumental work is rarely danceable, and when he sings, his breathy voice blends into the music like it’s part of the landscape. 8:30 p.m.-9:15 p.m., Float Den. Kero Kero Bonito did a 180 last year. The British group’s 2018 album, “Time ‘n’ Place,” surprised fans expecting more of the group’s hyper-optimistic electro-pop brand. Instead, the band delivered noisy, punk-inspired tracks played on analog instruments, but singer Sarah Midori Perry’s bubbly vocal style is unmistakable, infusing upbeat energy into even the most chaotic instrumentals. 11 p.m.-midnight, Switchyard. Playboi Carti is one of the least lyrical rappers around, but that’s beside the point. He burst onto the scene in 2017 with minimalist viral smash “Magnolia,” a single from his self-titled LP. His sophomore effort, “Die Lit,” found him diving deeper into ad-libbed verses, forgoing the 16-bar format for a sleek, impressionistic sound. 11 p.m.-midnight, Ballroom.

>> SATURDAY Thou is the odd band out at BUKU. There is no other hardcore act, and the Baton Rouge metal band’s output is far weirder than most hardcore acts. Dark, sludgy instrumentals underscore Brian Funck’s extraterrestrial, whisper-screamed vocals. 3:15 p.m.-4 p.m., Power Plant. Earl Sweatshirt put out one of the

best albums of 2018. Simply titled “Some Rap Songs,” its 15 tracks run less than 25 minutes but it packs plenty of punch. Sweatshirt’s subdued, stream-of-consciousness rapping floats from thought to thought, more intent on evoking moods than contriving narratives. 4:45 p.m.-5:35 p.m., Power Plant. A$AP Rocky is more than the pretty-boy codeine rapper he once claimed to be. He’s evolved into an intelligent lyricist with a keen musical sensibility. His last album, “TESTING,” received mixed reviews, which often happens when a mainstream artist experiments outside his comfort zone. 8 p.m.-9 p.m., Power Plant. $uicideboy$ are the black sheep of New Orleans hip-hop. Scrim and Ruby da Cherry grew up here, but their sound was spawned on the internet. If anything, they owe their roots to Memphis horrorcore, not New Orleans bounce. They’ve developed a following in the city and online. 9 p.m.-10 p.m., The Wharf.

Louisiana Crawfish Festival THU.-SUN. MARCH 21-24 | The festival features boiled crawfish and an array of crawfish and other dishes, amusement rides, an art market and music by The Boogie Men, The CheeWeez, Faith Becnel and the Music Krewe and others. At the Frederick J. Sigur Civic Center in Chalmette.

Dirty Bourbon River Show THU. MARCH 21 | An accordion and brass-driven ensemble forged a decade ago at Loyola University New Orleans, Dirty Bourbon River Show unleashed jazzy mayhem, drawing in strains of roots, classical, Balkan/gypsy music. After 10 albums, the band returns to New Orleans for a 10th anniversary show complete with former members. Bon Bon Vivant opens at 9 p.m. at Tipitina’s.

Seth Meyers FRI. MARCH 22 | Seth Meyers was a “Saturday Night Live” writer for 13 years and anchored “Weekend Update” for nine, but on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” he’s emerged atop the pack of late-night TV hosts commenting on news and politics. He performs stand-up comedy at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. at Civic Theatre.

U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, center, and Sen. John Kennedy, left, have their hand on their heart as the National Anthem is played before President Donald Trump gives a speech at the American Farm Bureau Federation’s convention at the Ernest N.

gave $52,184 to the Ochsner Hospital for Children. The money was raised with customer contributions, a portion of king cake sales during Carnival season and funds from Winn-Dixie Gives, the supermarket chain’s charitable arm. Over the last two Mardi Gras seasons, Winn-Dixie has awarded the hospital more than $100,000, according to a press release.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry

pulled one of his reelection stunts on March 13, leading a discussion of the state House criminal justice committee about the death penalty that seemed more an orchestrated opportunity to bash his frequent foe Gov. John Bel Edwards. Louisiana’s last execution was in 2010. They were halted by a federal judge pending litigation. Equally important, the legally required drugs for executions in Louisiana aren’t currently available. (See “Commentary,” p.9.)

voted last week against President Donald Trump’s emergency declaration that would have allowed him to access billions of dollars to build a border wall he once insisted Mexico would pay for, Louisiana’s two senators stuck with the president. “The crisis at our southern border is an emergency, and the White House has made a compelling legal case in support of its declaration,” Sen. Bill Cassidy said in a statement. “I voted to secure our border, protect American citizens, and stop the flow of illegal immigration, gang members, deadly drugs, and sex trafficking into our country.” Cassidy also wrote a guest editorial for The New Orleans Advocate further explaining his vote. Sen. John Kennedy, who also voted to back Trump, struck a more muted note. “Declaring a national emergency was never my first choice for addressing the crisis at the border,” he said, “but I don’t share the same hysteria of some of my colleagues about the president’s use of the National Emergencies Act. It doesn’t scare me,” said Sen. Kennedy. “Unfortunately, my Democratic colleagues refuse to face the reality and urgency of the crisis at the southern border. Today’s vote was an easy decision. I voted for border security and a much-needed border wall because we need to enforce our immigration laws.” In a conference call after the vote, Kennedy reiterated his belief that if Trump got his funds, they would not be diverted from federal projects like flood control. The Senate vote was 59-41, with all Democrats voting for the disapproval resolution, which is not a veto-proof majority. While Trump hasn’t used his veto power as president yet, one all-caps tweet shortly after the vote summed up what the president intended to do: “VETO!”

Jindal tries to dunk on Beto; social media dunks on Jindal instead “Beto O’Rourke is my favorite kind of Democrat: A Democrat who loses.” So said former Gov. Bobby Jindal on the Fox Business channel, one day after the former Texas congressman declared his intention to run for president in 2020. Jindal, appearing with host Neil Cavuto, said O’Rourke “reminded

Edwards, an anti-abortion Democrat, touted the number in a press release, saying it was the lowest number in a decade and a 20 percent drop over 2014. During that year, there were five abortion clinics in the state; today there are three. That number would be at one if it weren’t for a February decision by the U.S. Supreme Court striking down a provision requiring abortion doctors to have admitting privileges with a hospital within 30 miles.

me a lot of President [Barack] Obama, and I don’t mean that as a compliment. “There is one thing I do like about him, Neil, and this is one of my favorite things in a Democratic candidate: He is a candidate who spends a lot of money to lose races,” Jindal added, referencing O’Rourke’s unsuccessful attempt to oust incumbent Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Social media wags had a field day with the comment, noting that Jindal was defeated by Kathleen Blanco in 2003 for the Louisiana gubernatorial race — a race that most polls showed he was leading until the campaign’s final week. Jindal also was one of the first Republicans to suspend his 2016 presidential campaign, less than five months after he’d entered it.

COMMENTARY

A DVO C AT E S TA F F P H OTO B Y B I L L F E I G

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry chats with family members of victims during a hearing on the future of the death penalty in Louisiana. ON THE DAY California Gov. Gavin

Newsom made international headlines by ordering a moratorium on executions in his state, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry led his own death penalty discussion before the state House criminal justice committee. Newsom’s action was a bold statement; Landry’s was a cheap stunt. Landry said his presentation was a way to spotlight victims’ families and “delayed justice,” as Louisiana has not executed any convicted murderers since 2010. There are reasons for that, reasons that have nothing to do with being pro- or anti-death penalty. First: Louisiana can’t carry out executions right now because the legally required drugs aren’t available, a situation that began under former Gov. Bobby Jindal and continues today under Gov. John Bel Edwards. As the tide turns against the death penalty in America, drug companies simply don’t want to be associated with it. Louisiana law requires that the source of such drugs be made public. Other states facing the same dilemma have explored alternative methods of execution — suffocation by nitrogen poisoning, the electric chair, even firing squads — but they haven’t made much headway. Second: In July 2018, a federal judge halted executions in Louisiana until a lawsuit challenging lethal injection could be settled. That halt ends this summer, but little has changed. Third: In the eight years since Louisiana’s last execution, even some law-and-order, conservative lawmakers in Louisiana have rethought the death penalty. Some cite costs (it’s more expensive to execute a prisoner than to house one), while others have moral objections ranging from racial disparities in carrying out the death penalty to high-profile cases

in which a death row prisoner was later exonerated when new evidence came to light. One person wrongly put to death is one too many — but a 2016 Gambit cover story reported on 58 death row prisoners since 2000 whose sentences have been overturned. That, along with other reasons, is why state Sen. Dan Claitor, a Baton Rouge Republican, and state Rep. Terry Landry (no relation to the AG), a New Iberia Democrat who formerly led the Louisiana State Police, plan to file legislation that would outlaw the death penalty in Louisiana. There’s little likelihood it will pass, but anti-death penalty bills have become a staple of legislative sessions in recent years. This issue will not go away. AG Landry’s presentation, critics rightly pointed out, was tilted entirely toward pro-death penalty voices (those against it were relegated to the public comments afterward). Neither Edwards nor Secretary of Corrections Jimmy LeBlanc were invited to participate. Worse, Landry later said on WWL radio that the death penalty should be reserved for crimes like “aggravated robbery” — which doesn’t even exist in Louisiana law. Armed robbery carries a lengthy sentence, but it is not and cannot be a capital offense. How sad that Louisiana’s chief legal officer doesn’t even know the basics of criminal law. After the hearing, Edwards said in a statement, “We cannot execute someone in the state of Louisiana today because the only legally prescribed manner set forth in state statute is unavailable to us. In the time since we last had this conversation, nothing has changed.” Indeed, nothing has changed: Jeff Landry remains a shameless, ignorant demagogue.

Cantrell’s first electoral battle lines NEW ORLEANS MAYOR LATOYA CANTRELL HAS DRAWN HER FIRST ELECTORAL BATTLE LINES since

Hello Festival Season! NEW SPRING ARRIVALS

taking office last year. She opposes a new 2-mill property tax for senior services while she leads the effort to renew an existing 6.31mill levy for parks and recreation. She says the difference between the two propositions is the level of accountability each offers. Both moves will test her political coattails, but no one should doubt her mettle. Cantrell showed her willingness to tackle tough issues when she took on the city’s hospitality industry, demanding a bigger slice of local sales taxes currently dedicated to tourism marketing, the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and the Smoothie King Center. She wants some of that money to pay for infrastructure. That fight rages on. The mayor’s opposition to the March 30 senior services referendum represents another principled but gutsy move. Virtually everyone, including Cantrell, agrees that local senior programs need more money. Nevertheless, she sent an email blast March 14 saying New Orleanians “cannot afford” the new tax. “It does not go far enough to provide healthy outcomes for our seniors,” Cantrell said of the proposed millage, which would generate $6.6 million a year for five years. “This tax would go to a third party that is unaccountable to the public. And it’s a new tax on all of our homeowners, including seniors. We need a more holistic approach with services that meet all of their needs.” Cantrell’s message drew a quick rebuke from the local Council on Aging, which said it needs a dedicated annual revenue stream to help fund 16 senior centers across the city. The agency cited a backlog for its Meals on Wheels program, which home-delivers free food to seniors. The City Council voted unanimously last October to put the proposed millage on the ballot, at the request of the Council on Aging. Since then, however, there has been little public campaigning for it. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Governmental Research (BGR) gave Cantrell some cover by recommending rejection of the senior millage, calling it “laudable” but saying it “does not assure citizens of the effective use of the millage revenue” because the City Council “has not

put forward any companion ordinance to clarify specific recipients, uses and accountability and performance measures.” Cantrell’s support for the parks and rec renewal is a safer political move, though there’s always some risk in backing a revenue measure — even one that doesn’t increase taxes. That proposition appears on the May 4 ballot. Unlike the seniors millage, the parks and rec proposition has gained widespread support and has the trappings of a well-organized campaign. One reason for its broader political base is a decision by the Audubon Commission to reduce its share of the millage significantly in order to give City Park property tax support for the first time in its history — and give bigger shares to parkways and recreation. “These funds will reallocate an existing millage to provide greater transparency, accountability, and access for our residents,” Cantrell said of the parks and rec millage. “It will benefit hundreds of locations in every neighborhood.” Early voting for the senior millage started Saturday, March 16. It is the only item on the March 30 New Orleans ballot.

What’s the story behind the murals inside the Union Passenger Terminal? I came across them while picking up a friend there and found them both unusual and beautiful.

Dear reader,

The murals in the Union Passenger Terminal on Loyola Avenue have been called some of the city’s most important treasures of public art, though most people who visit that building probably have no idea of their historical value. The murals are the work of artist Conrad Albrizio, an internationally known fresco painter who also was LSU’s first professor of painting. According to a profile by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, Albrizio was born in New York in 1894. He studied architecture at the Beaux Arts Institute in New York and first came to New Orleans in the 1920s. He studied art here and in Europe, where he learned the fresco technique of painting on wet plaster. Albrizio worked extensively in Louisiana during the 1930s, painting sev-

eral fresco panels in the State Capitol building in Baton Rouge and the Capitol Annex, among other public art projects funded by the Works Progress Administration. He was commissioned to create the Union Passenger Terminal murals in 1951 and took three years to complete them. The project, which at the time was one of the largest frescoes in the country, consists of four panels: “Age of Exploration,” “Age of Colonization,” “Age of Struggle” and “Modern Age.” “With the aid of a conservative symbolism, Albrizio carries his subject matter from Spain’s conquest of Mexico all the way to the harnessing of atomic energy,” the Times-Picayune reported in April 1954. Some of the scenes depicted in the murals are intense, including the crucifixion of a Native American, a Ku Klux Klansman on horseback and scenes involving violence and nudity. Albrizio died in Baton Rouge in 1973. Local art lovers raised funds to restore his Union Passenger Terminal murals in 2006.

BLAKEVIEW THIS MONTH MARKS THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY of the opening of Jefferson Downs, home to horse racing in Metairie from 1959 until 1992. Originally located where Lafreniere Park is now, the racetrack had its roots in a 427-acre harness horse racing track called Magnolia Park, which opened on the same site in September 1954. Five years later, Magnolia Park went bankrupt and was sold and renamed Jefferson Downs. The new owners spent $300,000 renovating the track’s facilities, which opened in 1959 and offered 45 nights of thoroughbred horse racing in the inaugural season. There were eight races each weeknight (nine on Saturdays), with post time for the first race at 7:15 p.m. Hurricane Betsy destroyed the track in 1965. In 1971, Jefferson Downs reopened at a different location on what is now Joe Yenni Boulevard in Kenner. One of its early employees, Marie Krantz, later became general manager. She and her son Bryan (who later owned and operated the Fair Grounds) purchased Jefferson Downs in 1986. The Kenner track closed in 1992 and now is the site of the Gabriel Properties real estate development. As for the original Metairie site of Jefferson Downs, Jefferson Parish voters approved a bond issue in 1973 for the construction of Lafreniere Park there. The 155-acre park opened in 1982.

A new show at the Ogden Museum showcases self-taught artists BY SUE STRACHAN

SISTER GERTRUDE MORGAN RECEIVED A REVELATION FROM GOD TO CREATE ART. Herbert Singleton carved wood into walking sticks, sculptures and bas reliefs. Welmon Sharhorne used a Bic pen on manila folders to create his drawings. None of them went to art school. These three artists are featured in “Vernacular Voices: Self-taught, Outsider and Visionary Artists from the Permanent Collection,” now on view at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, home to one of the most important collections of self-taught, outsider and visionary art in

the nation. Self-taught, outsider and visionary art encompasses men and women who are not trained as artists and take their inspiration from themselves, the world around them and God, often working with nontraditional materials and outside traditional norms. “These works showcase a diverse group of artists who have each created truly original bodies of work outside of any formal academic dialogue,” said Bradley Sumrall, curator of the collection. “The art from ‘Vernacular Voices’ is drawn from life itself — intuitive, honest and tied to the culture in which it was created.”

The museum has showcased its self-taught, outsider and visionary art collection through the years, but this exhibition is noted for a number of pieces that have not been on view before, such as the paint on paper “Service Sunday Night Thursday Night” by Sister Gertrude Morgan; “Just a Design” and an untitled painting by Willie White; a recently donated paint on tin piece by David Butler that he carved with a hatchet; a wire sculpture by Lonnie Holley; two ink on paper pieces by Helen Burkhart Mayfield; and “First King and Queen” sculpture by Bessie Harvey. The exhibition also features almost in its entirety the museum’s collection of art by Minnie Evans, known for her ornately drawn, mixed media pieces on paper.

“I gravitate toward vernacular art because it represents the purest acts of creation, unadulterated by the market, academia or the art world,” said Sumrall. “Whether inspired by the Holy Spirit or childhood memories, whether used as an escape from a difficult world or just a way to fill the time, this is truly art for art’s sake: visceral, humble and wholly original.”

REVIEW: EXTRAORDINARY VOICES BY D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

THE OGDEN MUSEUM PRESENTS WORKS BY SELF-TAUGHT SOUTHERN ARTISTS THIS SPECTACULAR, IF OFTEN ECCENTRIC, “VERNACULAR VOICES” EXHIBITION highlights the scope and depth of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art’s collection of “outsider” and “visionary” artworks by selftaught Southern artists. What all this entails is different from the older and tamer version of what was traditionally meant by “folk art,” a term often used to describe displays of hand-carved duck decoys and boats or baskets cleverly cobbled from popsicle sticks. By contrast, works by untutored “outsider” or “visionary” artists tend to be less predictable, often reflecting the unusual inner life of creative individuals who are products of their time and place, yet who were gifted with unique visions that often appeared to them in dreams, or which they said were received from angels or the spirits of historical figures — maybe even the ghost of Elvis Presley. Others are direct messages from God, who chose little-known intermediaries to spread divine revelations to the rest of us. The variations are endless but what they all share is a perspective unfiltered by graduate schools or art history, but which at its best reflects a unique vision that, like all successful art, opens windows revealing insightful new views of the world around us. Even the most straightforward of these artists can provide unexpected insights. Sometimes called a “memory painter,” Clementine Hunter (1886-1988) was a descendant of people who were enslaved, and she spent much of her life at Melrose, a plantation built by free people of color. There she painted pictures of field workers, cotton gins and baptisms with stylized figures in near-hieroglyphic compositions that are deceptively simple in much the

way Mozart’s classical melodies often are deceptively simple. Hunter’s other works, such as “Chaleur: The Sun Gives Life to Everything,” reflect a far more sophisticated flair for composition and color. If Hunter is the legendary matriarch of the Louisiana folk art tradition, many who followed in her footsteps were more complicated characters. The late Herbert Singleton (1945-2007) carved wooden figures inflected with his passion for social justice, and against “confusion,” which he saw as the most dangerous tool of oppressors. Here his carved bas relief, “Leander Perez,” depicts the segregationist former political boss of Plaquemines Parish haranguing restive, bedraggled storm victims in the wake of Hurricane Camille in 1969. Although Louisiana is arguably the weirdest of American states, the intriguing thing about Southern outsider art is its pervasive strangeness regardless of locale. Henry Speller (1903-1997), a Mississippi Delta blues musician who often performed with Howlin’ Wolf, created deeply psychological works that recalled expressionistic European “art brut,” for instance, in an untitled, undulating drawing of three weirded-out women with bare breasts and high heels that resonates a sensibility somewhere between Helmut Newton and the art of the insane. No less odd are the hypnotically intriguing wood sculptures by Tennessee’s Bessie Harvey (19291994), who believed she was on a mission from God. If her otherworldly figures in “First King and Queen,” cobbled from painted wood, beads and cowrie shells, are peculiar, it is God’s will because, as she once put it, “his people are peculiar people.” Alabama’s greatest visual artist, the late Thornton Dial (1928-2016), is justly famous for his mixed-media assemblages and painted wall reliefs, which are as eccentric as anything in the outsider art genre, but they also are distinguished by a compelling presence that transcends categories. His primal yet deftly sophisticated way of simultaneously navigating many dimensions is seen in “Struggling Tiger in Hard Times,” a convoluted jungle labyrinth cobbled from carpet, tin, rope and painted canvas on wood.

“Altar to Elvis,” 1990, by Elayne Goodman

“Man Got It Made Sitting in the Shade,” by Thornton Dial

His more boisterous “Man Got It Made Sitting in the Shade” depicts an expressionistic blue man gazing serenely at the viewer in the shadow of a colorful shrub like a spaghetti tangle of painted rope and canvas. It never is easy to divine exactly what Dial was thinking, but it is clear that he is a master of grand gestures that he coaxes from maniacal mazes of orphaned objects mingled with fragments of lost dreams. A list of exceptionally beguiling, compelling or just plain strange objets d’art in this exhibition of some 150 works by more than 40 artists

would be too long to mention here, but standouts include works by a few living artists such as Mississippi’s Elayne Goodman (b. 1940) whose “Altar to Elvis” mingles obsessive detail with near-cinematic production values. In a quieter vein, Louisiana’s Welmon Sharlhorne (b. 1952) is a New Orleans resident who developed his precise yet otherworldly style of pen-and-ink drawing while in prison. There he found “art and God” and, like so many of the artists in this exhibition, he has been devoted to both ever since.

CHEF DOMINIQUE MACQUET blends

French and Creole influences at his new restaurant in Uptown, Bordeaux (4734 Magazine St., 504-273-5747; www.bordeauxnola.com). Located at the corner of Magazine and Bordeaux streets, the restaurant has an outdoor dining space anchored by a covered oyster bar and custom-built rotisserie. Macquet teamed up with restaurateur and sommelier Bruno Rizzo, who together with his brother Dominique operated the Uptown French bakery La Boulangerie, which is now owned by the Link Restaurant Group. Rizzo will run Bordeaux’s wine program, and bar manager Lynn Burgett is overseeing the bar’s cocktails. The menu features rotisserie-cooked pheasant served with gnocchi, sauteed squash and jus “naturale,” and entrees run the gamut from a grilled venison flank steak served with potato gratin to flash-seared bluefin tuna atop pappardelle pasta with caramelized cauliflower, kaffir lime and oven-dried tomato aioli. Starters include sauteed sweetbreads with a thyme potato puree, arugula and chimichurri; beef tartare with ginger, soy and grapeseed oil;

could see people spilling out the doors of Dian Xin. They were there, presumably, for the Hong Kongstyle soup dumplings or fiery Sichuan beef draped in chili oil. Word has spread that the French Quarter restaurant is serving some really good dim sum. In the two months since opening, Dian Xin, a Chinese restaurant on lower Decatur Street, has caused quite a stir, and it’s still safe to assume diners will have to wait for a table. But a worthy wait it turns out to be when a dish like its walnut shrimp arrives. Its elegant composition of flavors and texture made it a popular dish at Chinese weddings and formal occasions. It pairs caramelized, crunchy walnuts and fried shrimp, which on their own would be a winning combination, but it binds them with a tangy sauce with condensed milk and mayonnaise that seems wrong in theory but very right in practice. That dish was served at Little Chinatown, the Kenner restaurant owned by the family that now runs Dian Xin, and fans of the Williams Boulevard eatery’s traditional Chinese fare will recognize a similar theme here. On the petite space’s exposed brick walls hangs a display of bamboo steamer baskets, a telling nod to the restaurant’s tour de force: dumplings. Dian Xin is home to some of the city’s most delicious takes on the form, from xiao long bao — Hong Kong-style soup

The new space is a tavernlike setting anchored by a copper-top bar that was built in the 1880s, and the dining room has banquettes and seating for 35. A private courtyard seats another 30 to 35 guests, and the owners plan to open a second floor dining room. Named for bartender Joseph Santini’s early 19th-century restaurant of the same name, Jewel of the South pays homage to one of Santini’s cocktails, the brandy crusta, a cognac drink featuring lemon juice, maraschino liqueur, curacao and a sugared rim. The drink is on the menu among, “New Orleans classics, general classics and house drinks that are classically oriented,” Detrich says. “They’re all pretty elegant but also fun and more flamboyant drinks.” Jewel of the South will offer seasonal crustas. “We want people to understand that the crusta wasn’t just a brandy crusta, but a category of drink, much like a sour or a daisy,” Detrich says. “We really wanted to honor Santini’s memory just because he really made New Orleans drinks very special and very much what they are.” The cocktail menu features classics such as a French 75, a Roffignac, a sherry cobbler and other original creations like the Dr. John-inspired, bourbon-heavy Night Tripper and

Mandi Bordelon COMMUNITY NAVIGATOR AT 504HEALTHNET WHILE WORKING IN RESTAURANTS

for the last decade, Mandi Bordelon often came across co-workers who lacked adequate health insurance or didn’t know how to access it. While working as the general manager at Coquette, Bordelon learned about 504HealthNet, an organization that connects people with health services, including low-cost and sliding-scale doctor visits. In late 2018, the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation partnered with the organization to assist New Orleans hospitality workers, and 504HealthNet hired Bordelon to help hospitality workers with health care options. Bordelon spoke to Gambit about the job.

BORDELON: A large part of the initiative will be providing one-onone concierge health care navigation for hospitality workers, which is where I come in. As the community navigator, I will work with members of the hospitality industry to let employers and workers know about our resources and how we can offer personal assistance finding a primary care physician or behavioral health professional. In addition to in-person events, we will have a hotline that folks can call so they can talk directly to me. As a shortterm goal, I want to make sure people know 504HealthNet is here to help. … People don’t have to figure it out on their own. As a long-term goal, we want everyone to make health care a part of their lifestyle to better prevent long-term issues.

How does your background in the restaurant world help? B: I have been working in restaurants for about 12 years. In that time, sometimes I have had insurance and sometimes not. Even when I did, I didn’t know how to use it. It’s not something people teach you; the whole system is very confusing. I started thinking more about it when I got into management a few years ago and was not only thinking about myself, but my staff and my peers.

P H OTO B Y S A R A E S S E X B R A D L E Y

After seeing a few friends go through medical (or) behavioral crises, I felt desperate to find something to help explain health care options not necessarily dependent on health insurance, which many people in this industry do not have. I think it was all I talked about for a month when a friend of mine in public health suggested I reach out to 504HealthNet, a nonprofit that she had worked for a few years ago. I called … and from that moment on, they were an incredible resource for me. Any time I had a staff member with a health issue, I called them. It was a huge relief for me to have someone that could answer my questions. When I found out they were starting a hospitality initiative, I jumped at the opportunity to work as their navigator. I think it’s a very special role. To be able to tell people, “I know how confusing it is, I’ve been there. Let me help you find something that is accessible to you.” That’s huge. I know firsthand how supportive, kind, and passionate [the hospitality] community is, and they deserve health care just like anyone else, regardless of insurance status.

How can people access health care resources? B: 504HealthNet is developing and implementing a systems-level approach … that will decrease barriers to health care. Through operational changes, cultural sensitivity training and quality improvement initiatives, we hope to make the regional health care system work better for hospitality workers. On the community side, we will offer education, community outreach and one-on-one navigation support. There will be a website with a map of over 60 clinics that provide care regardless of ability to pay or immigration status. All clinics have sliding-scale payment plans for those that are uninsured. — HELEN FREUND

PREVIEW Delish Da Goddess BY RAPHAEL HELFAND GABRIEL MAJOR, AKA DELISH DA GODDESS, dropped “Violet” last summer, before heading to the West Coast for some much needed time off. Her seventh EP and strongest project yet, it’s an homage to her hometown of Violet, just down river from New Orleans. The EP includes bass-heavy horrorcore tracks, old school anthems and a slow jam interspersed with spoken-word interludes from her relatives. It is both more varied and more cohesive than any of her previous work, a crowning achievement in the Delish catalog. Her live shows always have been inspiring experiences. Her imposing physical presence and swagger draw in her audience, and her vicious bars awe listeners throughout her high-octane performances. Whatever Delish’s next chapter looks like, her shows continue to be a pillar of New Orleans’ underground hip-hop community. Delish Da Goddess performs a late night set with the doors opening at midnight Friday at The Howlin’ Wolf, 907 S. Peters St., (504) 529-5844; www.thehowlinwolf.com. Tickets are $10 in advance.

STAGE

REVIEW ‘Hamilton’ BY KEVIN ALLMAN TOURING PRODUCTIONS THAT COME TO NEW ORLEANS sometimes feel stripped-down, perched somewhere in the gulf between Broadway and community theater. Not so with the touring production of “Hamilton” that opened at the Saenger Theatre March 12 (one of two touring productions currently crossing the country). The show filled every P H OTO B Y J OA N M A RC U S inch of the cavernous The cast of the national tour of ‘Hamilton.’ Saenger and then some. The precis of the show is well-known: a rap and hip-hop musical about founding father Alexander Hamilton. It’s a lot more than that, though, incorporating as it does pop songs, ballads and traditional Broadway between the rap battles, and asking its 11-member chorus to perform modern dance, acrobatics, ballet and quite a bit more. A show about America’s founding fathers runs the risk of being a waistcoat-andwigs sausage fest, with one-dimensional women’s roles (Hamilton’s Wife, Hamilton’s Side Piece, Ladies in the Tavern) grafted on. Not so here. Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the book, lyrics and score, provided two great roles for women: Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, Hamilton’s wife who went on to found the first private orphanage in Manhattan, and Angelica Schuyler Church, her sister who may or may not have been in love with Hamilton (in the musical, she is). Both actors — Erin Clemons as Eliza and Ta’Rea Campbell as Angelica — nearly steal the show from their male counterparts with Broadway-worthy vocal performances; Clemons nails the ballad “Burn,” while Campbell’s amazing voice melds soul, gospel, opera and show tunes, often in the same song. As Hamilton, Joseph Morales handles the complex lyrics of the show handily, though his voice was sometimes obscured by the orchestration. Nik Walker as Aaron Burr cuts through the music, spitting rhymes one minute and belting Broadway style the next. Kyle Scatliffe has powerful stage presence and sly comedy chops as the Marquis de Lafayette (in the first act) and Thomas Jefferson (in the second act). As the comic relief character King George, Jon Patrick Walker gets lots of laughs as the foppish monarch who looks like he stepped off a cereal box and gets the show’s funniest song, a music hall-style number titled “You’ll Be Back.” The staging replicates the New York show: rough wooden stairs and scaffolds around two large turntables, which ferry the ensemble (which is in constant movement) around the stage and add to the show’s youth and exuberance. “Hamilton” runs at the Saenger through the end of March (and probably could sell out houses longer than that). For those without tickets, your best bet realistically and financially might be the daily “Hamilton” lottery, which is free to enter electronically and gives away 40 orchestra seats for each performance for $10 apiece — not so coincidentally, for a Hamilton bill.

STAGE

PREVIEW ‘Barbecue’ BY WILL COVIELLO THE O’MALLERY FAMILY is not surprised that Barbara is late to their barbecue in a public park. They’re less surprised that she arrives with a bottle of Jack Daniel’s, but that’s also the point. Though each of the O’Mallerys is far from perfect, they’ve decided it’s time to send Barbara to rehab. Barbara is given to outrageous antics in Robert O’Hara’s comedy/drama “Barbecue,” but nothing else about the work is predictable. The action careens out of control at the barbecue, and in fact there are two O’Mallery families and two Barbaras (played by Natalie Boyd and Mahalia Abeo Tibbs). The play features a black O’Mallery family and a white O’Mallery family, both with the same issues, which spill out gratuitously as the intervention gets heated. “There isn’t a single teachable moment in it,” says co-director Jon Greene, founder of the Radical Buffoons. O’Hara is not interested in proposing answers to any social questions, Greene says, and “Barbecue” is not built on caricatures as it mines perceptions of race, class, substance abuse and family relations. Greene and Buffoons’ dramaturg Torey Hayward co-direct the work. At 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, March 21-April 6, plus Monday March 25 and April 1. Fortress of Lushington, 2215 Burgundy St.; www.radicalbuffoons.com. Tickets $20-$30.
