At 9 p.m. at Le Petit Theatre.

Timothy Duffy’s photos of Southern musicians opens at NOMA and beyond

BY WILL COVIELLO WHEN TIMOTHY DUFFY, A PHOTOGRAPHER, FOLKLORIST AND FOUNDER

of the Music Maker Relief Foundation, visits New Orleans, he often sleeps on Little Freddie King’s couch.

“He’s like a grandfather to me,” Duffy says from Music Makers’ headquarters in North Carolina.

King’s also returning a favor. Music Makers has both documented the work of folk musicians from across the South and helped support them financially, assisting with housing, medical expenses and more. Music Makers helped King relocate to Texas following Hurricane Katrina and to return to New Orleans a couple years later.

Duffy is in New Orleans for the opening of his show “Blue Muse” at the New Orleans Museum of Art, and he’ll attend performances by King and other events. His images also will be projected on buildings and public spaces this week.

The expo features tintype portraits of roots musicians, including current and former Louisiana artists King, Ironing Board Sam, Alabama Slim, Robert Finley and Pat “Mother Blues” Cohen.

“These people are some of the greatest unknown artists in the country,” Duffy says.

Tintypes became popular in the 1860s as an inexpensive version of portraiture.

“From 1860-something to 1900, when film came in, it was a huge sensation,” Duffy says. “Lots of poor people could afford a penny and get a tintype. Lots of people know it (now) because of the Civil War. (Soldiers at war) could send something home.”

While Duffy likes the historical significance of tintypes as the first widely affordable photography, he also likes their appearance. Its wet collodion process produces rich tones and lasting photographs. While the “Blue Muse” images were taken between

“Rigoletto” 2013 and 2016, their style makes them appear historic if not timeless.

Saturating his studio with light added a warm feel to the images.

Duffy grew up in Connecticut and became interested in photography as a teenager. He studied folklore and ethnomusicology and began the Music Maker Relief Foundation in 1994. The foundation’s mission is to assist artists over the age of 55 who have annual incomes below $18,000, though many make less than $10,000, Duffy says. Music Makers has released more than 150 albums by these folk musicians, and it helps them book concerts, festival performances and tours. Ironing Board Sam was a longtime New Orleanian who now lives in North Carolina. Music Maker helped him release five albums and arranged a performance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 2013. Sam performs at 2:50 p.m. Sunday, May 5 in the festival’s Blues Tent with Lil Buck Sinegal. His extended family also will participate and attempt to launch a new dance (“Do the Ironing Board”), Duffy says.

Duffy has worked with musicians who mostly play traditional blues, gospel, Native American music and string bands. He helped launch and managed the Carolina Chocolate

The series led to a bipartisan vote in the state Legislature that allowed voters to eliminate the rule in a statewide referendum. It was edited by Gordon Russell and written by Russell, Jeff Adelson, Jim Mustian and John Simerman, with assistance from the paper’s photography, digital, graphics and layout staff.

A house for sale is seen on Laurel Street in the Uptown neighborhood of New Orleans. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates New Orleans’ population has decreased by nearly 1,000 between 2016 and 2018, after revising a previous estimate that projected slowing-but-positive growth for 2017.

FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HURRICANE KATRINA, CENSUS STATS SHOW A SHRINKING NEW ORLEANS MORE THAN A DECADE OF UNINTERRUPTED GROWTH in New Orleans’ population that accompanied the recovery from Hurricane Katrina has ended, according to new U.S. Census Bureau estimates.

New Orleans saw its population shrink by nearly 1,000 people between 2016 and 2018, the first decline the city has seen since tens of thousands of displaced residents began returning after the storm, according to census figures.

The drop may mirror a nationwide trend that has seen residents leaving core cities, in part because of the high cost of housing and other necessities, for smaller and cheaper areas, demographers said.

New Orleans had just over 391,000 residents in 2018, about 80.7 percent of its pre-Katrina population, according to estimates released April 18. That’s about 530 fewer than the year before and more than 970 fewer than in 2016.

Those losses are relatively small, but they come after a decade of often rapid growth as residents returned and rebuilt their flooded and storm-damaged homes. They suggest that New Orleans may be returning to the overall downward trajectory it had shown since its population peaked in the 1960s.

Up until about 2015, New Orleans saw growth in all three categories used by the Census Bureau for its estimates: a natural increase from births and both domestic and international migration, said Luke Rogers, chief of the bureau’s Population Estimates Branch.

But “in the last three years or so, the natural increase has slowed, the net international migration has slowed a little bit and the domestic migration has gone net negative,” Rogers said.

Jefferson Parish saw a decline of almost 2,250 people in 2018, about half a percentage point of its population, after losing about 450 people the year before. The parish remains the largest in the metro area, though, with about 434,050 people.

Before the fire at Paris’ Notre Dame cathedral, the fundraising had been only $50,000, according to The Washington Post. After journalist Yashar Ali of New York magazine drew attention to the churches’ plight, donations skyrocketed.

Holden Matthews, who was arrested on three counts of simple arson for setting the fires, was charged with hate crimes last week. Matthews has pleaded not guilty.

OPENING GAMBIT On the other side of the ledger, St. Tammany continued the steady growth it has seen for nearly two decades, adding about 2,290 people in 2018 to reach a population of about 258,100.

Statewide, Louisiana’s population shrank by 10,840, or about a quarter of a percentage point.

But more troubling than the overall statewide decline is how much of it was driven by people choosing to leave the state, said Robert Eisenstadt, an economics professor and director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Louisiana at Monroe.

“In Louisiana we have a fundamental problem attracting the businesses and the industries that are attractive to populations that are more likely to migrate,” Eisenstadt said. “When you look at 27,000 people leaving the state, that’s got to be a work-related consequence.”

Allison Plyer, the chief demographer for the Data Center in New Orleans, did not have access to the Census Bureau estimates before their public release. But she said previous census estimates, which showed population growth slowing in recent years, were potentially a troubling sign for a city that has few major industries outside of tourism.

“It’s 14 years after Katrina and several years into a number of economic development policies like trying to develop a digital economy, and the population trends are not positive,” Plyer said. “We might need to take a harder look at our strategies for growing the economy and diversifying it.”

The population losses also come as the city is facing an affordable housing crisis that has priced out some residents. Larger and more expensive cities that have faced their own problems with affordable housing, such as New York City and Los Angeles, have also seen people leave in recent years, said William Frey, a demographer and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

The Census Bureau population estimates are based on federal records, such as tax returns, that track where people live, as well as data on birth and death rates. That leaves some room for error, something demonstrated in part with revisions the bureau made to its previous estimates when it released the new numbers this week.

Last year, the bureau’s estimates showed the city’s population leveling out but still increasing slightly in 2017. The agency now believes the city actually lost people that year.

Independent of that decline, the Census Bureau also revised its estimates of New Orleans’ overall population in recent years, cutting the figures it had previously put out since 2010. The total for 2017 fell by about 1,750. The estimates of annual

population loss are based on those new numbers.

The most accurate figures won’t be available until after the next full national headcount in 2020, Plyer said.

“The 2020 count is going to be the real litmus test, and it relies on everyone being willing to stand up and be counted,” she said. “It drives representation (in Congress) and more than $800 billion in federal funding over the next 10 years.” — JEFF ADELSON, THE NEW ORLEANS ADVOCATE

Blocking the bike lane?

That’ll be $300 — or $500 New Orleans motorists parking in bike lanes could find themselves with $300 tickets, more than seven times the amount of previous tickets. Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s office sent out a press release last week reminding residents of the increased fine — to $300 from $40 — that will be enforced beginning this month.

The City Council unanimously approved the fine increase in March.

After 30 days, unpaid fines will increase to $500.

The increase comes in response to complaints from cyclists about vehicles — often taxis and ride-hailing service vehicles — parking in bike lanes and forcing bicycles to drive into the street around them.

“We have been consistent in making public safety a top priority of this administration, and residents need to know that the stakes of improper parking in lanes for bicyclists are going to start getting higher this month,” Office of Transportation Director Laura Bryan said.

The reminder follows the city’s launch of Moving New Orleans Bikes, an effort to rapidly expand the city’s bike lanes, improve lane connectivity and increase protections for cyclists.

The plan is still in its beginning stages, gathering community feedback at a series of public hearings.

COMMENTARY

Recommendations on millage propositions on May 4 ballot VOTERS IN NEW ORLEANS AND JEFFERSON PARISH WILL GO TO THE POLLS ON MAY 4 —

during Jazz Fest — to consider several important property tax millages.

In New Orleans, the sole item on the ballot is the proposed renewal of 6.31 mills for parks and recreation facilities.

In Jefferson, voters will decide whether to renew an existing 1-mill tax for the parish coroner’s office and whether to approve a new, 7.9-mill tax to fund public school teacher pay raises. Early voting begins Sat., April 20 and continues through Sat., April 27. Here are our recommendations: New Orleans Parks & Rec: YES — For decades, public support for parks and recreation facilities in New Orleans has reflected a piecemeal

approach. The Parks and Recreation Initiative represents the first real attempt to put four key “quality of life” agencies on balanced fiscal footing.

Those agencies are: the New Orleans Recreation Development Commission (NORDC); the Parks & Parkways commission; New Orleans City Park; and the Audubon Commission. Of those, City Park has never gotten a penny of dedicated local funding.

This is not a tax increase. It would merely renew an existing set of millages. NORDC and Parks & Parkways currently split a 3-mill property tax, while Audubon has a pair of millages totaling 3.31 mills.

All three millages expire in 2021. Rather than renew them individually, the proposition would combine them for a

single, 6.31-mill renewal for 20 years that would allocate the proceeds more equitably among these agencies — including, for the first time ever, City Park. Audubon would see a 42-percent reduction in property tax revenues while the other agencies would see significant increases. We urge our readers in New Orleans to vote YES on this millage.

Jefferson Parish Forensic Medical Facilities: YES — Jefferson Parish Coroner Dr. Gerry Cvitanovich seeks renewal of a 1-mill property tax to maintain the services his office provides. Those services include operating a nationally accredited forensic facility, providing mental health and drug addiction

services as well as suicide prevention programs, overseeing involuntary commitments of mentally ill and incapacitated citizens, and staffing the parish mental health center.

This is not a new tax; it would merely extend an existing tax for 10 years. We urge our readers in Jefferson to vote YES on this proposition.

Jefferson Parish Schools: YES — This is a new tax, but

it merits voter approval. The parish school board has already adopted a pay plan that would use the additional $29 million in revenue to boost teacher pay to levels that are competitive with other area school districts, particularly for teachers just beginning their careers. This is vitally important to recruiting and retaining qualified teachers in public schools, which in turn helps boost student achievement. We urge our readers to vote YES. All three propositions have earned the support of the non-partisan Bureau of Governmental Research (BGR) as well as widespread support among business and civic leaders in both parishes. We are happy to add our endorsement as well.

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ @GambitBlake | askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake, I enjoyed your column (Jan. 21) on the Randazzo family of king cake bakers. Along those lines, can you give us a Brennan family tree?

Dear reader,

The story of the first family of New Orleans cuisine begins with Owen Edward Brennan, born in 1910, the eldest of Owen Patrick and Ella Mary “Nellie” Brennan’s six children. His five siblings were: Adelaide, John, Ella, Richard (known as Dick) and Dorothy (known as Dottie).

According to a family history in the cookbook “Breakfast at Brennan’s and Dinner, Too,” Owen purchased the Old Absinthe House bar on Bourbon Street in 1943. In 1946, he leased the Vieux Carré Restaurant across the street and named it Owen Brennan’s French and Creole Restaurant, later Owen Brennan’s Vieux Carre.

Adelaide, Ella and John joined him in running the restaurant. In 1955 it moved to 417 Royal Street, though Owen Brennan did not live to see it open there. When he died, Ella was working as Brennan’s manager. In the

1960s, Ella expanded the business, purchasing the Friendship House in Biloxi and opening Brennan’s in Houston and Dallas. In 1969, the family purchased Commander’s Palace.

In 1974, an infamous family dispute led to Owen’s widow Maude and their three sons, Owen Jr. (known as Pip), James (known as Jimmy) and Theodore (known as Ted), taking sole control of Brennan’s on Royal Street.

Ella and her brothers, sisters and children were forced out but assumed control of the other restaurants.

John Brennan’s children are Ralph, Claire (known as Lally), Cindy and Tommy. Lally is a co-proprietor of Commander’s Palace, while Cindy is proprietor of Mr. B’s Bistro, opened in 1979. Ralph’s restaurant empire includes six restaurants, including Brennan’s on Royal Street. He and business partner Terry White purchased it out of bankruptcy and reopened it in 2014.

Ella’s son Alex Brennan-Martin runs Brennan’s of Houston and her daughter, Ti Adelaide Martin, is co-proprietor of Commander’s Palace. Their cousin Brad Brennan, Dottie Brennan’s son, is also involved in management of Commander’s.

Pontchartrain Beach? The wooden roller coaster opened for the first time 80 years ago this week. It was designed in Dayton, Ohio by Erwin and Edward Vettel of the National Amusement Device Company.

According to The New Orleans Item, the coaster won its name in a contest, with Mrs. A.L. Claverie winning a $25 prize for her entry. The ride’s art deco loading station was designed to resemble the lead car of the Burlington Zephyr train which ran between Chicago and Denver.

In their book “Pontchartrain Beach: A Family Affair,” Bryan Batt (grandson of Pontchartrain Beach’s founder) and Katy Danos put the ride’s original cost at “a whopping $100,000, an enormous sum in its day.” Miss New Orleans 1938, Irene Schoenberger, joined park owner Harry Batt Sr. in christening the Zephyr on its opening day. The roller coaster rose to more than 80 feet at its highest point.

“What set the Zephyr apart was the unprecedented twisting in the tracks of the first dip and the record 60 mile per hour speed,” according to Batt and Danos.

The Zephyr remained a favorite at Pontchartrain Beach until the park closed in 1983.

Cantrell does right, looks wrong MAYOR LATOYA CANTRELL’S HANDLING, OR RATHER HER MISHANDLING, of

the traffic camera flap proves that in politics, it’s not enough to be right on a controversial issue. It’s equally important to look right as well.

In Cantrell’s case, she clearly did the right thing by reducing the margin of error that for years cut drivers some slack if they exceeded the 20-mph speed limit in school zones. Previously, drivers could go 25 or even 26 mph without getting ticketed around schoolkids.

Earlier this year, Cantrell’s administration tightened that margin, which, again, was the right thing to do if one is concerned for the safety of children.

Problem is, Herroner didn’t bother telling the public that the ticketissuing threshold had changed.

Many drivers found that out the hard way: thousands of them got ticketed for driving at speeds that they thought were within official tolerances.

Those tickets were expensive, and the bottom line (pun intended) was a windfall to city coffers. That, after Cantrell as a candidate for mayor promised to remove all traffic cameras, saying they unfairly burdened working-class drivers. She later walked back that promise, keeping the cameras in school zones.

That, too, was the right thing to do, only that time she told everyone in advance.

Now it appears Cantrell has done the right thing for the wrong reason. Had she told the public beforehand that she was tightening the margin of error in school zones, many drivers no doubt would have slowed down — thereby achieving the mayor’s stated goal of increasing safety, but without swelling the city’s purse.

Cantrell swears it’s all about safety, but we have only her word on that. Turns out a study commissioned by City Hall on the subject of tighter margins in school zones concludes the obvious: they will generate more speeding tickets — and a lot more money.

Screenshot of traffic camera video showing a driver speeding through a New Orleans school zone.

Duh. Let’s be clear: No one has the right to speed through a school zone. The posted limit is 20 mph, and drivers should obey that limit.

The safety benefits of this rule are obvious. On this point, Cantrell is right to enforce the rule as strictly as the law will allow.

However, it’s equally clear that New Orleans drivers had long become accustomed to pushing their luck around traffic cameras — with City Hall’s full blessing. In fact, in areas outside of school zones, traffic cameras didn’t generate tickets unless drivers exceeded the posted limits by at least 10 mph. In the few areas where traffic cameras still police speeders outside school zones, the margins are tighter there as well.

Cantrell recently doubled down on her decision, saying in an administration-produced video that she made the change for the sake of safety. She conveniently avoided the matter of not giving the public advance notice, which, along with the revenue windfall, only reinforces the perception that it was all about the money.

Meanwhile, the City Council’s Budget Committee scheduled a meeting for 10 a.m. Monday, April 22, to seek answers from the administration as to why the public wasn’t warned in advance about the tighter enforcement.

In this dust-up, at least somebody at City Hall knows how to look right.

HE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ & HERITAGE FESTIVAL’S 50TH ANNUAL EVENT ALREADY HAS PROVIDED PLENTY OF EXCITEMENT BEFORE THE GATES open at the Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots on April 25. Fans have plenty to celebrate as the festival stretches to eight days of music, culture, food, crafts and more.

The music lineup for the first weekend (April 25-28) features Katy Perry, Santana, Van Morrison, Wynton Marsalis, Earth, Wind & Fire, Irma Thomas, Taj Mahal, Dr. John, Indigo Girls, Curren$y, Sherman Washington’s Zion Harmonizers, Rebirth Brass Band and many others. International visitors include Colombia’s J Balvin, Mdou Moctar from Niger, Haitian singer Moonlight Benjamin, Dobet Gnahore from the Ivory Coast, Canada’s A Tribe Called Red and others.

In five decades, Jazz Fest has built an international reputation, presenting musicians from Louisiana and across the globe.

But as it turns 50 and adds the AARP

as a sponsor, Jazz Fest only gets better with age.

The fanfare marking the 50th event is spread across the Fair Grounds and beyond. The Cultural Exchange Pavilion features many bands that previously performed at the pavilion as part of international and cultural spotlights. Smithsonian Folkways is releasing a box set with more than 50 recordings from Jazz Fest over the years. It features legendary musicians such as Professor Longhair and Earl King, and rising stars such as Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue and Big Freedia. It’s a testament to the musicians who have made the festival memorable as part of an ongoing tradition.

On the following pages, there is an interview with Wynton Marsalis, music picks for the first weekend, daily schedules for the festivals stages and tents and more. For daily recaps, visit www.bestofneworleans. com, and after the festival, check back for a festival review.

WEEK ONE INTERVIEW

Wynton

MARSALIS

BY WI L L COV I EL LO

LAST WEEK, ELLIS MARSALIS JR.

was honored in New York at the gala for Jazz at Lincoln Center, which was founded three decades ago by his son, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis.

Wynton is in New Orleans this week to perform in a Jazz Fest tribute to Ellis, along with brothers Branford, Delfeayo and Jason. The performance will focus on songs written by Ellis, reaching back to the 1970s with songs like “The Garden.”

“I like the sophistication of a song like ‘Nostalgic Impressions,’ ” Wynton says. “And the beauty of ‘Orchid Blue.’ It’s in a difficult key and it’s hard to play the harmonies — it has a tricky chord progression.”

The selections show the range of Ellis’ compositions.

“We’ll play ‘12’s It,’ ” Wynton says. “That’s a great tune to blow on because of the cyclical nature of the form. It doesn’t really end.

It just goes around in a cycle.”

The Lincoln Center gala also celebrated music from Charles “Buddy” Bolden to Louis Armstrong. Marsalis wrote and arranged music for “Bolden,” director Dan Pritzker’s biopic drama about the creator of jazz.

The soundtrack was released April 19, and the film opens May 3 at The Broad Theater.

The movie follows Bolden from boyhood in New Orleans through the end of his life at a mental health institution in 1931. The film imagines Bolden’s impressions of the world, sometime in surreal visions, some beautiful and others featuring stark imagery surrounding relationships and rivalries as well as his struggles with alcohol and drugs.

There are no recordings of Bolden’s music, and his legacy owes much to Donald M. Marquis’ book “In Search of Buddy Bolden: First Man of Jazz.” Despite the lack of recordings, Bolden’s role is clear, Marsalis says.

“He invented the music because everybody who could play around that time said he invented it,” Marsalis says. “The three trumpet players who were influenced by him, whose music

we have recordings of, said he could play. … Bunk Johnson, Freddie Keppard and King Oliver — all three recorded in some way, Bunk Johnson albeit at a later time. Buddy Bolden had to play better than them.”

Bolden played in parades, for dances and in the clubs around South Rampart and Perdido streets, including the so-called Funky Butt Hall.

“The most telling thing about Buddy was a quote from a lady who was one of his contemporaries,” Marsalis says. “She said, ‘Every time Buddy played, his heart broke.’ That tells you he had the kind of sound we equate with a trumpet player like Miles Davis — a really personal sound that touches you when you hear it. That was his ultimate skill.”

Goldman Thibodeaux and the Lawtell Playboys FAIS DO-DO STAGE 11:15 A.M.-12:05 P.M. Now in his 80s, singer and accordionist Goldman Thibodeaux is an elder statesman of Creole la-la music, the traditional, black Creole country dance music that laid the foundation for zydeco. He grew up hearing the unique mix of Cajun, Afro-Caribbean and French influences at house dances in St. Landry Parish, where the Lawtell Playboys originated in 1946 under the direction of Thibodeaux’s uncles, Eraste and Bebe Carriere. Today, his renditions of traditional tunes by Amede Ardoin, whom he knew as a child, retain stylistic ties to an influential piece of French Louisiana cultural history, giving audiences an aural snapshot of the past.

Cynthia Girtley’s Mahalia Jackson Tribute GOSPEL TENT 1 P.M.-1:45 P.M. At a 2015 Newcomb College symposium about Mahalia Jackson, New Orleans-born singer and pianist Cynthia Girtley recalled being moved in church by parishioners who would sing with tears in their eyes. “Even if they couldn’t express themselves any other way … they were able to pour out their emotions … and feel free,” she said. “I could hear that in [Jackson’s] voice.” Girtley wields her powerful voice in a similarly evocative way, often keeping her piano playing spare. Girtley’s opening day tribute comes 50 years and three days after the festival’s first opening day, when Jackson sang “Just A Closer Walk With Thee” with the Eureka Brass Band.

Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns

3D NA’TEE

CONGO SQUARE STAGE 4:25PM - 5:25PM

BLUES TENT 2:40 P.M.-3:40 P.M. After a year away, Meschiya Lake is back from Europe with her golden — sometimes lilting, sometimes booming — voice. Lake and her Little Big Horns band have long since graduated from their busking spot on Royal Street, thanks largely to the singer’s wildly original sense of melody and

timing. The band remains based in New Orleans while Lake pursues new projects with the support of different players across the pond. That’s one of many reasons not to miss this centerpiece of her 2019 New Orleans performances, or as Lake put it recently, “the homecoming of my heart.”

Django Festival All-Stars WWOZ JAZZ TENT 4:15 P.M.-5:30 P.M. Over the years, guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli’s lightning-fast rhythms and fretwork and breezy melodies have continued to swing on, courtesy of a slew of gypsy jazz devotees — including guitarist/violinist Dorado Schmitt and his guitarist sons, Samson and Amati Schmitt.

Unlike many of their hot jazz-loving peers, the Schmitts, along with violinist Pierre Blanchard, accordionist Ludovic Beier, rhythm guitarist/ scat singer DouDou Cuillerier and bassist Antonio Licusati, have a knack for reinvigorating the spirit of the music with new twists and spins.

Their novel and virtuosic playing creates a sound that earned them their “all-star” moniker at the annual Reinhardt celebration in France. Often cited as Europe’s top gypsy jazz outfit, the group recently released its first studio album, 2018’s “Attitude Manouche.”

New Orleans Female Hip-Hop Experience:

Ghetto Twiinz, 3D Na’Tee, Keedy Black, Briki Fa President, Cheeky Blakk, M$. Tee, DJ Westbank Red and Downtown Lesli Brown CONGO SQUARE STAGE 4:25 P.M.-5:25 P.M. In recent years, local rap and bounce revues have become regular features at the Congo Square Stage. Several artists on this “New Orleans Hip-Hop Experience” bill are repeat performers in the annual showcase, but the focus on women in New Orleans rap represents a welcome take on the concept. The combination of performers promises plenty of chemistry. Keedy Black often delves into issues around women’s empowerment in her rhymes. The fiery 3D Na’Tee’s complex (if often NSFW) freestyle and unorthodox flow, meanwhile, seem custom-made to buck all vestiges of a gender-based rap hierarchy. The showcase is rounded out by poet-turned-rapper Briki Fa President, and local DJ Westbank Red and radio host Downtown Lesli Brown.

the seminal soul group continues to tour, with Philip Bailey — and his famous, four-octave vocal range and sky-grazing falsetto — taking over as the face of the group. If the band’s recent Las Vegas Strip residency is any indication, EWF still can pack fire into hits ranging from the jazz- and funk-flavored “That’s the Way of the World” to the R&B stunner “Devotion” to the inevitable disco singalong “September.”

Taj Mahal and the Phantom Blues Band BLUES TENT 5:40 P.M.-6:55 P.M. Multi-instrumentalist Taj Mahal always has incorporated a wide array of influences in his music. He plays everything from guitar, banjo and harmonica to harp, fife and piano, complementing that broad palette with rhythms and concepts emanating from the Caribbean, Africa, Hawaii and elsewhere. His musical guest list has been similarly far-reaching over the course of his 50-odd year career, making him a natural pick for a world

music-in spired blues stage. Though he’s been recording less frequently — his laid-back 2017 collaboration with Keb Mo marked Mahal’s first studio album in eight years — his voice, energy and fluid style are as strong as ever.

Doctor Nativo JAZZ & HERITAGE STAGE 6:05 P.M.-7:00 P.M. Born Juan Martinez, Doctor Nativo mixes hip-hop beats, cumbia grooves and layers of pre-Columbian instrumentals as a foundation to deliver messages about social justice and Mayan identity. On his 2018 album “Guatemaya,” Martinez — whose Cuban-born father reportedly was assassinated for sheltering Guatemalan guerrillas in 1990 — tackles issues including violence in Central America, cultural erosion and Mayan spirituality against a backdrop of dance-inducing rhythms stretched by his experiences busking around the world.

He’s back at a timely moment. His new single “Minorias” was written in honor of a Guatemalan woman shot by a Texas border patrol ranger.

For this performance, they are joined

by Dumpstaphunk band leader and keyboardist Ivan Neville (Aaron Neville’s son), guitarist Ian Neville (original Meter Art Neville’s son) and multi-instrumentalist Tony Hall. It is difficult to imagine New Orleans music without The Meters, but The Meters’ contribution to rock, funk and R&B on a global scale continues to be recognized.

The cultural and historic ties between Haiti and New Orleans have been increasingly visible in recent years, and Haitian music is experiencing an international renaissance, with RAM and Melissa Laveaux releasing new albums. Moonlight Benjamin sings over a blend of Caribbean Voodoo melodies and rhythms and 1970s American blues-rock.

Born in Haiti and currently residing in France, Benjamin channels the slow build and purposeful repetition of the Voodoo tradition in her music

CONGO SQUARE TENT 1:25PM - 2:15PM P H OTO B Y D O M I N I C S C OT T

CONGO SQUARE STAGE 1:25 P.M.-2:15 P.M. While New Orleans native PJ Morton is best known for his role as the keyboardist for Maroon 5, he also has been building his own brand, releasing records and a concert film and formulating a distinct sound built upon the foundations of New Orleans R&B and funk. While signed to Young Money in 2013, PJ released his first major-label studio album, “New Orleans,” which included an appearance by Stevie Wonder on its lead single. PJ moved back to New Orleans a few years ago, and his solo work has culminated with the release of the album “Gumbo” in 2017, followed by a 2019 Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance for the deeply catchy “How Deep Is Your Love.” PJ’s recent work reaches across genres, and the result is a smooth sound both modern and throwback.

Luke Winslow-King LAGNIAPPE STAGE 2:55 P.M.-3:55 P.M. Originally from northern Michigan, Luke Winslow-King moved to New Orleans at 19 and has spent 15 years in the city, honing his roots-music sound. Winslow-King blends roots-infused folk, blues, country, R&B and rock. He recorded much of 2009’s “Old/New Baby” at Preservation Hall and learned gospel and jazz standards while working with singer John Boutte. Excellent guitar work, smooth vocals, a deep appreciation of traditional sounds and energetic delivery mark King’s live performances.

GENTILLY STAGE 3:30 P.M.-4:45 P.M. This Seattle-born, six-member band received early recognition for its blend of folk, indie and pop, and its self-titled debut album became one of Sub Pop’s best-selling debut releases. In 2014, after four years of touring, the band took time off and reunited to produce the album “Signs of Light,” its first release on the Warner Bros. label. The bright, gauzy balladry on the record matches the band’s name, offering singalongs in the vein of Mumford & Sons alongside sparse piano ballads. The band’s forthcoming album, “Living Mirage,” is set for release in May, and the single “Missed Connection” is already impressing listeners.

79rs Gang Mardi Gras Indians JAZZ & HERITAGE STAGE 4:25 P.M.-5:15 P.M. Big Chief Jermaine Bossier, from the 7th Ward, and Big Chief Romeo Bougere, from the 9th Ward, came together to form the 79rs Gang Mardi Gras Indian tribe, forging a intertribal collaborative performance group. The Gang has appeared in Atlanta’s Cashew Company anthology and in a number of film and video projects. The 79rs Gang released the songs “Dead and Gone” and “Wrong Part of Town” (Sinking City Records), tight releases featuring intricate rhythms, snare, tambourine and vocals in the Mardi Gras Indian tradition.

Darlingside FAIS DO-DO STAGE 4:40 P.M.-5:40 P.M. With falsetto harmonies, traditional folk instrumentation and singable choruses, Darlingside is reminiscent of a number of bands while also managing to be unique. Based in Boston, this four-piece often

Listeners may recognize tunes such as “The God of Loss,” which the band performed in NPR’s Tiny Desk series. The band recently released the EP “Look Up & Fly Away.”

The Revivalists GENTILLY STAGE 5:25 P.M.-6:55 P.M. In its first few albums, The Revivalists didn’t sound like the band was sure what direction it was heading, but it became clearer by 2016, when its single “Wish I Knew You” seemed to be everywhere. The group recently released “Change” (“the change inside your pocket, baby / doesn’t change a thing”), which also climbed Billboard’s Adult Alternative Song chart. In recent years, the band worked with new producers and writers, including Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton) and Andrew Dawson (Kanye West, fun., Sleigh Bells), and its blend of pop, rock, folk, country and blues sounds both fresh and timeless.

Aloe Blacc CONGO SQUARE STAGE 5:45 P.M.-7:00 P.M. Singer, songwriter, producer and rapper Aloe Blacc blasted into a new stratosphere with the breakout success of “I Need a Dollar” (later used as the theme song to HBO’s “How to Make it In America”) and his featured vocals on 2013’s Avicii single “Wake Me Up.” Born Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III, the Panamanian-American musician’s unique singing voice — vibrato with a hint of vulnerability in an otherwise smooth delivery — works in several musical genres, a perfect mix to achieve stardom on a global scale. While his 2013 album “Lift Your Spirit” was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album, rap is where Blacc found his start and his first love, influenced by socially conscious artists including KRS-One.

Curren$y and Nesby Phips’s relationship goes back to New Orleans’ McMain High School, where they met alongside Lil Wayne, Cortez Bryant and Mack Maine. As a producer, Phips has contributed music, as well as rap features, to some of Curren$y’s most memorable hits, including “Top of the Money,” “Prioritize” and “Hold On,” as well as Wiz Khalifa’s “Supply.” In recent years, Curren$y has styled himself as more of a brand than a musician, embodying the Jet Life persona he created, symbolized by classic cars and all things fly. These two will perform a laid-back set with solid groove and style.

Preservation Brass ECONOMY HALL TENT 12:25 P.M.-1:20 P.M. Preservation Brass, Preservation Hall’s brass band, follows in the footsteps of the historic Dejan’s Olympia Brass Band to perform a traditional repertoire of jazz standards, hymns and marching tunes.

The band is fronted by trumpeters Mark Braud and Kevin Louis and saxophonist Calvin Johnson, and the group presents a fresh take on traditional music.

The New Orleans Piano Professors:

Celebrating Professor Longhair, James Booker, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Domino, Allen Toussaint and Dr. John BLUES TENT 1:25 P.M.-2:35 P.M. This set celebrates the musical contributions of some of New Orleans’ most storied pianists performed by some of today’s brightest New Orleans keyboardists, including Jon Cleary, Davell Crawford, Tom McDermott, Al “Lil Fats” Jackson, David Torkanowsky and John “Papa” Gros. All these piano “professors” have individual styles, variously drawing from jazz, R&B, ragtime, boogie-woogie, Caribbean music and Cuban rumba.

Dobet Gnahore CONGO SQUARE STAGE 1:35 P.M.-2:35 P.M. A singer from the Ivory Coast now residing in France, Dobet Gnahore and her backing band of French and African musicians, Na Afriki, set themselves apart with their mix of hip-hop and West African music and traditional and electronic sounds and instruments. As the

daughter of renowned percussionist Boni Gnahore, Dobet has a long history of performance and immersion in both West African and European traditions. Gnahore released her fifth album, “Miziki,” in 2018. Her voice has a deep resonance and a gorgeous upper-register lilt and is on full display in the album’s catchy, haunting title track.

Erica Falls GENTILLY STAGE 1:35 P.M.-2:25 P.M. After backing other singers and touring regularly with jazz-funk outfit Galactic, Erica Falls released her solo debut “Homegrown” in 2017.

She draws on soul, R&B, funk, jazz and disco and with June Yamagishi on guitar, her band propels her powerful mix of New Orleans funk and soul.

Original Pinettes Brass Band CULTURAL EXCHANGE PAVILION 2:05 P.M.-3:00 P.M. JAZZ & HERITAGE STAGE 6:00 P.M.-6:55 P.M. The Pinettes, New Orleans’ all-female brass band, was founded at a Catholic school for girls, and the

band’s name is a spinoff of the historic Original Pinstripe Brass Band. Band leader Christie Jourdain has overseen the growth of the band and the recording of its fulllength album “Finally,” released in 2013. As the winner of the Red Bull Street Kings competition for brass bands in 2013, it made a name for itself outside the city. The Pinettes mixes traditional brass band music and covers of pop tunes such as Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse’s “Valerie.”

ACURA STAGE 3:45 P.M.-4:55 P.M. It was 2014’s “Small Town Heroes” album, featuring a video cameo

by Big Freedia, that first catapulted this New Orleans band to national awareness. Memorable ALYNDA LEE SEGARRA

Lil’ Nathan & the Zydeco Big Timers FAIS DO-DO STAGE 2:55 P.M.-3:50 P.M. The recent controversy over Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” has led to a debate over whether there is any crossover between country and rap music, which suggests that many Americans are entirely unaware of south Louisiana. Lil’ Nathan and his Zydeco Big Timers are powerhouse performers, working within traditional zydeco but infusing it with hip-hop, pop and electronic music.

The son of Nathan Williams Sr. of the Zydeco Cha Chas, Lil’ Nathan has been singing, drumming and playing the accordion since he was

Leon Bridges GENTILLY STAGE 5:40 P.M.-7:00 P.M. The simultaneously hoarse and melodic quality of Leon Bridges’ vocal delivery sounds like Anderson .Paak mixed with a 1960s R&B crooner. Originally from Texas, Bridges has updated traditional soul and R&B sounds while remaining true to their traditions. He first gained national attention with his 2015 song “Coming Home,” but it was his gorgeous single, “River,” featured prominently on HBO’s “Big Little Lies,” that made him a household name. More song placements in film followed, along with a Harry Styles tour and an appearance in Damien Chazelle’s film, “First Man,” in which he played Gil Scott-Heron.

Americana sound. Her unforgettable vocals and songs mix strength and vulnerability. With songs about social justice alongside a deep veneration for American roots balladry, the band (including Jordan Hyde on guitar and Justin Kimmel on bass) shows no signs of slowing down.

FAIS DO-DO STAGE 5:45 P.M.-7:00 P.M. Steve Earle doesn’t resist change, he adapts with the times and remains true to his sense of integrity and Americana roots. Recently, the group released a tribute to one of Earle’s most important mentors, legendary singer-songwriter Guy Clark. This new New West Records album, simply titled “GUY,” features the lead single “Dublin Blues,” taken from the name of a 1995 album by Clark. There is something timeless and poignant about hearing Clark’s song through Earle’s musical lens.

Tribute to Dave Bartholomew and Fats Domino with Bonnie Raitt, Irma

Thomas, Davell Crawford, Jon Cleary, Al “Lil Fats” Jackson and the Fats Domino Orchestra

ACURA STAGE 12:15 P.M.-1:30 P.M. Anyone playing New Orleans R&B has been influenced by the hit-making duo of Antoine “Fats” Domino and Dave Bartholomew, who shared writing credits with him on many songs and brought Domino to Imperial Records. This tribute is stacked with R&B pianists and artists who have acknowledged Domino’s career. Keyboardist Davell Crawford’s tribute album “Dear Fats, I Love You,” is being released this week. Pianist Al “Little Fats” Jackson bears a physical resemblance and has a deep voice similar to Fats’. Guitarist Bonnie Raitt and Jon Cleary, who backed her on tour for a decade, recorded a Domino tune for the tribute album “Goin’ Home — a Tribute to Fats Domino.” Irma Thomas’ early career overlapped Domino’s, and they both released singles for Imperial in the mid-1960s.

Helen Gillet RHYTHMPORIUM 12:20 P.M.-1:05 P.M. LAGNIAPPE STAGE 3:00 P.M.-3:55 P.M. Belgian-born cellist Helen Gillet has been a mainstay on the New Orleans jazz improvisational music scene since she received her master’s degree in music from Loyola University New Orleans in 2004. She’s gigged and recorded with artists across the musical spectrum including local jazz master James Singleton, indie rockers Arcade Fire and Animal Collective and R&B giant Smokey Robinson. On her 2018 EP “Helkiase,”

she enters a new chapter as a solo artist, merging looped cello improvisations with multilingual vocals to haunting effect.

Walter “Wolfman” Washington & The Roadmasters CONGO SQUARE STAGE 12:20 P.M.-1:20 P.M. Walter “Wolfman” Washington has spent his career fusing blues, funk, R&B, rock and psychedelic strains.

His smoldering voice and virtuoso guitar playing have been a mainstay in New Orleans music clubs for decades. He released his 2018 solo record, “My Future Is My Past” on a major label, ANTI-, and for this set, he’s backed by The Roadmasters, his band since the 1980s.

Mdou Moctar BLUES TENT 12:30 P.M.-1:20 P.M. CULTURAL EXCHANGE PAVILION 3:10 P.M.-4:15 P.M. Born in Tchintabaraden, Niger, Mdou

Moctar learned to play music on a self-crafted, five-string guitar. Moctar’s Muslim family forbade music in their house, so he practiced in secret.

Today, he’s an international sensation. His hypnotic sound is based in the Tuareg tradition, but he’s just as proficient shredding electric, Princelike riffs as he is playing the acoustic desert blues.

Maurice “Mobetta” Brown WWOZ JAZZ TENT 1:35 P.M.-2:35 P.M. A Chicago native, one-time New Orleanian and current New Yorker, Maurice Brown is a versatile trumpeter. His technical, bluesy stylings have earned him collaborations with Ellis Marsalis, Roy Hargrove, Aretha Franklin and De La Soul, among others, and he recently performed with hip-hop artist Anderson .Paak at Coachella. At last year’s Jazz Fest, he took the stage alongside Nicholas Payton during Terrace Martin’s standout performance in the Jazz Tent, playing ferociously along some of the heaviest hitters in modern music.

A Tribe Called Red CULTURAL PAVILION STAGE 1:45 P.M.-2:45 P.M. JAZZ & HERITAGE STAGE 4:20 P.M.-5:20 P.M. Currently led by DJs Bear Witness and 2oolman, A Tribe Called Red was founded in Canadian capital Ottawa mixing hip-hop and electronic music with powwow drumming and vocals and music of First Nations groups.

It was the first indigenous band to win a Breakthrough Group of the Year Juno Award, Canada’s version of the Grammys, and last year won Group of the Year. Its most recent release, 2016’s “We Are the Halluci Nation,” included a tribute nod to John Trudell, a poet, musician and onetime leader of the American Indian Movement.

The O’Jays CONGO SQUARE STAGE 3:45 P.M.-5:00 P.M. Even for music fans who were born after the golden age of disco, the music of The O’Jays is a bridge to the era. The trio’s countless hits,

including “Back Stabbers,” “Love Train,” “Forever Mine” and many more, cement it as one of the most important groups in the soul tradition. Original member Bill Isles died early this month. The band released its first album in 15 years, “The Last Word,” April 19.

Van Morrison ACURA STAGE 5:30 P.M.-7:00 P.M. Sir George Ivan “Van” Morrison is from Northern Ireland but his sound has been woven irrevocably into the fabric of American music. Many know him for his breakout 1967 hit “Brown Eyed Girl,” but he’s been recording music consistently ever since. Most of his familiar songs have been in the conventional soul/R&B canon, but he’s also experimented with jazz and Celtic spiritual music.

Ellis Marsalis Family Tribute featuring Wynton, Branford, Delfeayo and Jason with Ellis Marsalis WWOZ JAZZ TENT 5:40 P.M.-6:55 P.M. The name Marsalis is synonymous with jazz. At age 84, patriarch and pianist Ellis Marsalis Jr. performs

regularly and remains an influential figure. Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis founded and has directed Jazz at Lincoln Center for more than three decades and has won Grammy Awards for jazz and classical music as well as a Pulitzer Prize. Branford Marsalis lent his saxophone to Sting and a tenure on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” and has focused on his quartet and composing music. Trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis leads his Uptown Jazz Orchestra and drummer Jason leads the 21st Century Trad Band. This rare performance by the group will focus on songs written by Ellis.

J Balvin GENTILLY STAGE 5:45 P.M.-7:00 P.M. A native of Medellin, Colombia, reggaeton singer Jose Alvaro Osorio Balvin is a relative newcomer to American audiences, breaking through in 2014. Though he lived in the U.S. and was influenced by hiphop, rock and grunge, he moved back to Colombia and developed his contemporary approach to reggaeton. He found wider audiences on the internet via YouTube and Spotify, on which he currently is the second-most streamed artist. He’s collaborated with Sean Paul and Cardi B in recent years.

A little Italy GIANNA (700 Magazine St., 504-

399-0816; www.giannarestaurant. com), the highly anticipated Italian restaurant from the Link Restaurant Group, opened April 20 in a corner spot in the light-pink Kalorama condominium development in the Warehouse District.

The team behind the restaurant includes award-winning chefs from the Link group: Donald Link, Stephen Stryjewski, Ryan Prewitt and Rebecca Wilcomb, who is the executive chef. Heather Lolley is the director of operations.

The restaurant is named for Wilcomb’s grandmother, who is from the Veneto region of Italy. The menu is inspired by the rustic Italian

Cleo’s Mediterranean Cuisine serves Middle Eastern and Mediterrean dishes

BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund PINE NUT AND ROSE-SCENTED ICED TEA draws inspiration from Lebanon.

Grilled halloumi evokes summer evenings on the Mediterranean Sea in Greece. A fried eggplant and falafel breakfast platter seems straight out of Egypt.

At Cleo’s Mediterranean Cuisine, the kitchen dives deep into the cuisines of the Mediterranean and Middle East.

In 2013, Cleo’s opened as a casual eatery and convenience and grocery store in the Central Business District.

Last year, owner Tarek Madkour closed that location and opened a new grocery store and restaurant at 940 Canal St. and a more stylish restaurant on upper Decatur Street.

The Decatur Street location has a bright dining room decorated with gold arabesque designs that extend from the walls and light fixtures to the tabletops. The menu is more ambitious than that of the original restaurant.

Middle Eastern specialties are the focus of the extensive menu, which begins with an assortment of mezze served with steaming pita bread.

There are bright green, hockey puckshaped falafel, generous hummus bowls topped with everything from fried cauliflower to lamb and salads brimming with fresh cucumbers and tomatoes.

Lebanese-style kibbe are excellent.

Similar to ground beef and lamb boulettes, the fried orbs are scented with warm spices and cinnamon and studded with cracked wheat and pine nuts.

Many of the dishes are familiar.

Hummus is garlicky and smooth.

Thick baba ghanoush features smoky

roasted eggplant. Creamy labneh marries the characteristic lactic tang with basil and mint. But there also are dishes that seem delightfully different, such as a warm roasted shrimp hummus topped with nutty and warming za’atar. Perhaps in a nod to the south Louisiana location, the tagines — traditionally served in namesake fluted clay pots — arrive in cast-iron black pots. A version bobbing with okra and hunks of lamb is warm with harissa spice and full of soupy tomatoes flavored with garlic.

The Egyptian fried beef “schnitzel kofta” features four short cylinders of breaded and fried ground ribeye. An ample serving of salad and saffron-tinged rice flecked with juicy pomegranate seeds rounds out the plate to make an entrée-sized meal.

In general, the menu is designed for sharing dishes, which is difficult at the small tables for two at the Decatur Street location.

Owner Tarek Madkour serves lamb chops, shrimp and a vegetable tagine at Cleo’s Mediterranean.

As at the Canal Street location, Cleo’s is open 24 hours a day, and the restaurant attracts a wide array of people: early-bird cab drivers popping in for breakfast, tourists from nearby hotels in search of vegetarian lunch and dinner to Bourbon Street revelers looking to wind down at the end of a long night.

The late-night menu highlights more traditional dishes.

All of these diners are on to what many others now are figuring out as well — that Cleo’s is always a good idea, no matter the time of day.

cooking Wilcomb grew up eating as well as by dishes the team of chefs encountered while traveling in Italy in recent years.

The menu features antipasti plates, house-made pastas, house-cured meats, Gulf seafood and produce sourced from local farms. Antipasti items include eggplant caponata, tuna-stuffed peppers and mozzarella with crushed basil and chilies.

For smaller plates, there is Italian chopped meat salad, chicken stew with ham and olives over rice, and lamb sausage gravy served over polenta. For pasta, there is tortelli in brodo, inspired by Wilcomb’s grandmother. Other pasta dishes include campanelle with grilled greens, zucchini, black pepper and pecorino, ricotta lemon ravioli with roasted tomatoes, and rigatoni with

For an entree, braised chicken is served with salami, olives and polenta. Roasted Gulf fish is served with chili and lemon. Slow-roasted pork shoulder is served with fennel and orange, and there’s a Florentine-style porterhouse steak.

A small selection of contorni, or side dishes, includes broccoli with chilies and garlic, grilled radicchio with bagna cauda and housemade focaccia bread.

Link Restaurant Group pastry chef Maggie Scales is making desserts, which Wilcomb says are inspired by Italian sweets and confections.

The restaurant is anchored by a large zinc bar, where an aperitivo-inspired cocktail menu features vermouth and amari-based drinks.

The Tulio is a twist on a Boulevardier made with bourbon, Campari and Cynar. Imported nonalcoholic sodas include the sweet-bitter drinks San Pellegrino Chinotto and Sanbitter. The wine list is predominantly Italian, and there are Italian domestic craft beers.

The large dining room seats 160 people, and decor includes a 20-foot mural of an octopus and painted floor tiles. Dining room chairs are imported from Italy. In the rear of the restaurant, the kitchen is partially open to diners’ views.

It’s outfitted with a wood-burning oven covered in black mosaic tiles.

There is some outdoor seating along Girod Street.

Gianna serves lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday.

the Garden District, where the third location of the health-conscious eatery will open in July.

It will occupy the corner spot at 3300 Magazine St., which formerly housed Smashburger.

The menu will feature grain bowls, avocado toasts, coldpressed juices and smoothies.

Diners can expect more of a focus on brunch at the new spot, with dishes such as vegan buckwheat sweet potato pancakes topped with chai coconut whipped cream, berries, pecans and maple syrup, and a pitaya chia bowl served with granola, fruit and bee pollen.

Dylan Maisel opened the juice bar and vegetable-focused stand (then called JuiceNOLA) at St. Roch Market in 2015, drawing inspiration from his upbringing in upstate New York, where his parents operated a vegetarian restaurant. Maisel later opened a second location in the bottom of the Beacon building in the Warehouse District.

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Brent Rosen President/CEO, Southern Food & Beverage Museum BRENT ROSEN RECENTLY BECAME PRESIDENT AND CEO of the South-

ern Food & Beverage Museum (SoFAB) and its parent organization, the National Food & Beverage Foundation (1504 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., 504-569-0405; www. natfab.org). Former president and founder Liz Williams announced earlier this year she would focus on a more academic and curatorial role at the museum. Rosen was Director of Business Development at BRG Hospitality. He spoke to Gambit about SoFAB.

What plans do you have for the museum this year?

ROSEN: We have three real focuses for this year. First is getting our Gumbo Garden open in the back yard, and hopefully it will be completed by the first of July.

The second thing we’re doing is expanding our culinary library.

During May we’ll be doing some “Brunch and Learns,” where we’ll cook breakfast and I’ve invited some of our chef buddies to come with their staff to see the space, look at the books and get an idea of what we have.

We have arrangements with different groups, like Les Dames d’Escoffier. We are their repository library. We are getting so many books from female cookbook authors from all over the country and we’re already full. We are going to double, if not triple, the size of the library by the end of this year.

We have 20,000 books right now and we’re going to have about three times as much floor space.

It’s every cookbook you could imagine of every type of cuisine.

In the archives, we have 14,000 menus from all over the world and a bunch of different chefs’ papers.

We also have the Museum of the American Cocktail. We’re going to talk to a bunch of brands and do more demonstrations [and] spirits tastings.

I don’t think there are going to be any major changes to the programming. The programming is really the best thing that we do.

How will your background in restaurant business development help?

R: I’ve been in the Southern food world for at least 10 years. I’ve been a member of the Southern Foodways Alliance for that long, and I have been partners with restaurants and worked at restaurants. I’ve gotten to know some of the food business people who are our potential supporters, sponsors and collaborators. It’s taken a lot of years of meeting people and now figuring out how to get all of these great people from all over the South excited about what we’re doing and involved in our programs.

What aspects of Southern food culture are you passionate about?

R: I think food is cultural history.

What I think is interesting about Southern food history is that it is the influenced by so many different cultures. You have a lot of African influence, a lot of immigrant influence — the history of where people lived and where people moved and what they grew up with has become the food that we eat.

On the contemporary side, we are not just a history museum.

While this collection is historical, there is nothing stopping us from doing something called SoFAB contemporary, where we can explore contemporary issues in food culture. We have a lot of room to grow, too — in looking at how new immigrants are changing the food culture, how mass production is changing the way we cook at home. It tells you a lot about the world we live in, even though it’s on the plate.

PREVIEW Mannequin Pussy

BY RAPHAEL HELFAND MANNEQUIN PUSSY has a volatile molecular structure, ready to react on a moment’s notice. The band’s sound is an uneven mix of punk, shoegaze and bedroom pop — elements that blend with the subtlety of POP ROCKS and Coke. Fronted by singer/ guitarist Marisa Dabice, the Philadelphia four-piece makes short, thrashing songs that jump styles with head-spinning velocity.

Mannequin Pussy’s early work was choppy, and its first album, “Gypsy Pervert,” while packed with energy, doesn’t coalesce its particles into a compelling compound.

On the band’s second and most recent studio release, 2016’s “Romantic,” the sounds the band juggled gingerly on “Gypsy Pervert” are fleshed out and fluidly synthesized.

GOING OUT REVIEW ‘Hinge Pictures: Eight Women Artists Occupy the Third Dimension’ D. ERIC BOOKHARDT “HINGE PICTURES” IS AN AUSTERELY PLAYFUL EXHIBITION at the Contemporary Arts Center featuring eight globally prominent women artists. Their work ranges from curiously personal to boldly conceptual. Between those extremes, the large photomurals and smaller sculptural works of Berlin-based Claudia Wieser provide a provocative new view of the relationship between form, time and space in the expanses of the downstairs corner gallery. Here a vast wall collage (pictured) includes mirrored glass constructs that kaleidoscopically slice and dice the gallery spaces, as images of classical statuary vie with Bauhaus patterning and a shadowy view of a modern woman looks like a female time traveler wandering across the history of civilization.

German-born, Paris-based Ulla von Brandenburg bridges minimalism and intimacy with sweeping, sensual ripples of richly hued wall-size fabrics arranged like an undulating amniotic labyrinth that leads to a chamber where you can watch more fabrics glide across a video screen. Other highlights include New York-based Sarah Crowner’s blandly bold, Ellsworth Kelly-esqe wall-relief paintings that look like lost pieces of a giant picture puzzle. New York’s Erin Shirreff melds Bauhaus formalism with the cool edginess of Franz Kline’s abstract paintings, while New Yorker Tomashi Jackson’s mixed-media works lament gentrification and its impact on public transportation with works including old awnings festooned with streamers of red film strips etched with the faces of the forgotten masses. Brazil’s Adriana Varejao blends the formal with the personal in circular color scales and color-coded portraits on the walls, all partly explained by a modest display case filled with tubes of pigment in the shades “Snow White,” “Half Caste” and “Big Black Dude.” Local artists are featured in two ground-floor expos where Bonnie Maygarden’s “Principle of the Hinge” series of translucent, illusionist wall works suggest textured minimal views of graphical humidity. Aimee Farnet Siegel’s “Principle of Uncertainty” lends a formal perspective to the rise and fall of civilizations as festive streamers turn to tatters. Curated by Andrea Andersson, all of these works articulate a challenging, women-centric approach to the myriad modalities of modernism. Through June 16. Contemporary Arts Center, 900 Camp St., (504) 528-3805; www.cacno.org.
