SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

Joe Jackson

To die for

TUE. MAY 28 | Joe Jackson has composed music at a prolific pace, and released the album “Fool” earlier this year, but he may never eclipse the notoriety of his early new wave-y pop hits “Is She Really Going Out with Him?” “Steppin’ Out” and “Breaking Us in Two.” At 8 p.m. at Civic Theatre.

The Overlook Film Festival brings horror films and events to New Orleans

Mattiel THU. MAY 30 | Namesake frontwoman Mattiel Brown’s big voice drives a couple of bangers, “Je Ne Me Connais Pas” and “Keep the Change,” off the Atlanta rockers’s upcoming June release “Satis Factory.” New Orleans country-folk singer-songwriter Esther Rose, who will release “You Made it This Far” in August, opens at 9 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

BY WILL COVIELLO SINGER TOM WAITS AND ROBERTO BENIGNI starred

in Jim Jarmusch’s 1986 film “Down by Law,” in which a trio of prisoners escape from a New Orleans jail. Jarmusch’s 2013 film “Only Lovers Left Alive” explored the possibilities of lasting love between undead creatures, vampires played by Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston. Waits and Swinton are back in “The Dead Don’t Die,” a zombie slasher comedy starring Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Chloe Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Sturgill Simpson, Selena Gomez, Iggy Pop, RZA and other actors and musicians. The comedy gets its U.S. premiere as the opening night film of The Overlook Film Festival (May 30-June 2). Overlook was started by veteran film festival organizers Michael Lerman and Landon Zakheim, but it has grown beyond horror films to include immersive experiences, live performances, podcast tapings and other events. A predecessor event took place in Colorado before Overlook debuted in 2017 at Oregon’s Timberline Lodge, where much of Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” was filmed. The event moved to New Orleans last year. Films and events are at Le Petit Theatre and other venues. Overlook’s slate of 40 feature and short films includes major studio releases, comedies, psychological thrillers, films from Japan and Tunisia, new takes on classic horror stories such as “Frankenstein” and movies with zombies, monsters and extraterrestrials. In “Ma,” Octavia Spencer (“The Help,” “Hidden Figures”) plays a social recluse who buys alcohol for teenagers and invites them to turn her basement into

TUE.-SUN. MAY 28-JUNE 2 | The touring Broadway musical tells the stories of passengers and townspeople in the days following 9/11 when 38 planes and thousands of people were diverted and left in limbo in a small town in Newfoundland, Canada. Showtimes vary at Saenger Theatre.

New Orleans Music Showcase

their party room, but she becomes possessive of her newfound friends. The festival’s closing night film is “The Lodge,” an English language debut from Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz, the Austrian filmmakers behind the psychological horror thriller “Goodnight Mommy.” Also about parent-child relationships, “The Lodge” features a woman and her fiance’s children trying to get acquainted on an excursion gone wrong. Also premiering at Overlook is the horror comedy “Satanic Panic,” in which an unsuspecting pizza delivery woman brings food to a lair of Satanists. One of its screenwriters, Grady Hendrix, will perform two live shows, “We Sold Our Souls Live,” about heavy metal music, and his work-in-progress “Paperbacks from Hell 2: Think of the Children,” based on literature popular with teenagers. There are preview screenings of two episodes of the TV series “Swamp Thing,” the DC Comics character who emerges from a Louisiana swamp. There’s a screening of “The Faculty,” featuring Elijah Wood and Josh Hartnett as students who realize something supernatural is happening at their high school. There’s a free screening of “Horror Noire,” a documentary featuring

Bill Murray, Chloe Sevigny and Adam Driver star in Jim Jarmusch’s “The Dead Don’t Die.”

MAY 30-JUNE 2

THU. MAY 30 | Brass/funk outfit BrassA-Holics, R&B singer DAWN, soul band CASME, jazzy R&B band L.Y.O.N., rapper Allie Baby and other local bands perform in the showcase and competition for a performance spot at Essence Festival. At 7 p.m. at New Orleans Jazz Market.

THE OVERLOOK FILM FESTIVAL

Volksfest

WWW.OVERLOOKFILMFEST.COM

SAT. JUNE 1 | Deutsches Haus celebrates the arrival of summer with German traditions including Maypole dancing and “Volkslauf” (a walk through City Park led by the chicken dancing mascot), as well as music by PROST, German food, 25 types of beer, schnapps, kids’ games and a scavenger hunt. 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at Deutches Haus.

Jordan Peele (“Get Out”) and Tony Todd (“Candyman”) about black people in Hollywood horror films. Wood, Daniel Noah and other partners created the production company SpectreVision. They will tape an episode of their podcast “Visitations” and preview the “Shudder Original” podcast. Robert Rodriguez’s 1992 film “El Mariachi” was made for about $7,000 and grossed $2 million. He screens his latest film, “Red 11,” which he also made for $7,000, and leads a class on independent filmmaking. The festival also includes immersive experiences combining live storytelling, escape room games, virtual reality technology and more. Visit the festival website for a schedule and tickets.

“The Pirates of Penzance” JUNE 1-2 | Sean Patterson, Elizabeth Argus, John Michael Haas and others perform in the concert presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera about Frederic, who is stuck in an apprenticeship to pirates while his beloved Ruth faithfully waits for its decades-long tenure to end. At 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Tulane University’s Dixon Hall.

# The Count

Thumbs Up/ Thumbs Down

Matt Bowers, a Chevrolet

The New Orleans metro area’s placement on FiveThirtyEight’s list of the most polarized cities in America.

dealer in Slidell, last week donated a vehicle to Anita Singleton after learning that the 52-year-old Slidell woman has been walking 6 miles a day to her Walmart job for the past 10 years. Bowers let Singleton choose from several models — then paid the taxes, registration and insurance for her.

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

The Louisiana Legislature

once again won’t consider increasing the state minimum wage. State Sen. Troy Carter, D-New Orleans, pulled his proposed constitutional amendment that would have let voters raise it from $7.25 to $9. Carter said it lacked enough support to pass. More than 80 percent of Louisianans in surveys have said they support a hike in the minimum wage, which has not gone up in 10 years. The fact that our leges can’t let voters decide the issue, even with that kind of public support, speaks volumes about whose interests they serve.

U.S. Sen. John Neely Kennedy told “Meet the Press” last

week, ”If Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi — she wouldn’t do this — told all of her people to line up and join the Taliban, they’d say, ‘Where’s the line?’ ” Senator Soundbite went way too far this time. If Pelosi (obviously) wouldn’t do such a thing, what was his point? Apparently, Kennedy’s point is always the same: getting him face time on TV.

State Rep. Katrina Jackson, D-Monroe, center, answers questions during hearings in the Senate Judiciary A Committee on HB 425. Jackson is flanked by Dorinda Bordlee, with the Bioethics Defense Fund, left, and Benjamin Clapper, executive director Louisiana Right to Life, right.

LOUISIANA SENATE PASSES MORE ABORTION-RELATED LEGISLATION

Three of the top 5 politically polarized urban areas in the U.S. are in Louisiana (New Orleans, #2; Baton Rouge, #3; Shreveport, #5). Lafayette comes in at #11. In all, the top 9 politically polarized urban areas — where people live in “political segregation,” according to FiveThirtyEight, are blue-leaning cities in Deep South red states.

C’est What

THE LOUISIANA SENATE PASSED A BILL 31-4 LAST WEEK that would let

residents vote on adding language to the state constitution explicitly stating Louisiana does not protect a woman’s right to an abortion — advancing yet another abortion restriction. The amendment will almost certainly appear on the Oct. 12 ballot, coinciding with the gubernatorial primary election. That ballot measure would read as follows: “Do you support an amendment declaring that, to protect human life, a right to abortion and the funding of abortion shall not be found in the Louisiana Constitution?” State Sen. Beth Mizell, R-Franklinton, who presented the bill on behalf of State Rep. Katrina Jackson, D-Monroe, said it was “the simplest of bills. ... It wouldn’t be the judges in D.C.,” she said. “It would be the people of the state of Louisiana determining what they thought about life.” Louisiana already has a 2006 “trigger law” in place that would make abortion illegal in almost all cases if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. Jackson’s proposed constitutional amendment, however, would be harder to overturn than the trigger law. “The amendment is kind of a confusing measure,” said Ellie Schilling, a New Orleans attorney who has represented many of the state’s reproductive health centers. “Constitutional amendments generally give rights to the people. They’re not drafted to take them away.” The amendment does not include any exceptions for rape, incest or the life or health of the mother, which Schilling said could lead to some legal uncertainty about its implementation. “It’s just very unclear then, if that amendment were to ever kick in and have effect, if it would ban abortion in all instances — if that’s how our judges would interpret it — or if the Legislature could, at a later date, enact exceptions to that general ban,” she said.

The Senate also overwhelmingly passed another abortion restriction by a vote of 30-4. House Bill 133 by State Rep. Frank Hoffmann, R-West Monroe, would revise the legal definition of abortion to include medication abortions — terminating a pregnancy by taking a pill. It would require that doctors give patients the pill at one of the state’s three remaining abortion clinics. Currently, licensed OB-GYNs can administer the pill. State Sen. JP Morrell, D-New Orleans, expressed concern about the bill potentially being interpreted to outlaw the “morning after pill,” but State Sen. Dan Claitor, R-Baton Rouge, said that the bill only related to a diagnosable pregnancy. “Anything we do here when we change the law is subject to interpretation,” Morrell said. “As we have seen, legislative intention means little when the politics of the courthouse comes to interpreting the things we do.” He added, ”Ladies and gentlemen, that is a hop and a skip from ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.’ ” The measure now heads to Gov. John Bel Edwards, who has said he will sign it. — KAYLEE POCHE

Abortion rights protest in New Orleans draws hundreds Hundreds of New Orleanians filled the corner of Poydras Street and St. Charles Avenue May 22 to protest the wave of abortion restrictions advancing in the Louisiana Legislature and across the country — which speakers called part of a “war against women.” Brightly colored signs reading “Forced gestation is torture” and “All women deserve the same abortion access as the mistresses of pro-life politicians” were held aloft as Lakeesha Harris, director of reproductive health and justice at Women With a Vision (WWAV), read the same list of demands she did at a protest at the state Capitol the week before. The demands included abortion access, contraceptive access, comprehensive sex education and a reduced black maternal mortality rate. “We want full control of our bodies — and goddamn it, we’re not asking,” Harris said. But the scope of the demands spanned beyond reproductive issues to cover food and housing access for poor people, funding for child care centers and early childhood education and a $15 minimum wage. “That is not a living wage. That is a minimum wage, and we deserve every freaking penny,” Harris said. (It came a day after the state Senate failed to pass a bill that would have let voters decide if they wanted to establish a state minimum wage of $9 an hour.)

WWAV, the New Orleans Abortion Fund, BYP100 and New Orleans Peoples’ Assembly organized the event. After about an hour of speeches, the crowd went from spilling into the streets to packing them, chanting sentiments such as “Educate, agitate, organize.” Deon Haywood of WWAV said the turnout exceeded her expectations and that the numbers were proof there are people in Louisiana battling abortion restrictions. “We haven’t been a part of the national conversation, so today was about claiming our rights but also letting people know that we fight in Louisiana,” Haywood said. “Southerners stand up, and we are always fighting. We’re always on the front lines.” — KAYLEE POCHE

Smoking age to remain 18 in Louisiana Louisiana House members struck down a proposal Thursday to raise the state’s legal smoking age from 18 to 21 for most people. The bill was backed by only 24 legislators, while 55 voted against it. The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Frank Hoffmann, R-West Monroe, a former smoker, would have banned anyone under 21 from purchasing tobacco, alternative nicotine or vaping products. Lawmakers already had their reservations about the bill when it advanced through the House Appropriations Committee earlier this month. In an effort to accommodate

legislators’ concerns, the bill would have exempted first responders, military members and veterans. Still, the bill fell short in the lower chamber. A higher smoking age, Hoffmann stressed, would bring health benefits and health care savings. He also cited reports from the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids that showed 7,200 Louisianans die from smoking each year and that the state pays $1.9 billion in annual health

Louisiana animal abuse registry won’t happen this year A bill that would create a public registry for convicted animal abusers — similar to the one in place for sex offenders — was pulled from committee consideration last week in Baton Rouge after hints of potential opposition. House Bill 161 by state Rep. Robby Carter, D-Amite, would have given convicted animal abuse offenders seven days following either the conviction or the date of their release from imprisonment to register with the Department of Agriculture and

Forestry. Individuals convicted in another state would have a week after moving to Louisiana to register. Those on the registry would have been legally banned from owning an animal. The bill — which defined animal abuse to include sexual abuse of an animal, animal cruelty, dog fighting and hog fighting — would have required first-time offenders to register for 10 years with further offenses resulting in a lifetime registry. Failure to register in the 7-day-period would have resulted in a fine of up to $1,000, imprisonment for not more than six months or both. Retail pet stores and animal shelters would have been responsible for checking the registry before selling or giving away an animal. Organizations or businesses that sell or give an animal to someone on the registry would have had to pay up to $250 for a first offense, up to $500 for a second and up to $1,000 for subsequent offenses. The Humane Society of Louisiana (HSLA) backed the bill, saying it could help curb animal abuse in the state. “It’s a great idea and it’s much needed,” said Jeff Dorson, the executive director of the HSLA. But The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has said registry policies are ineffective, citing maintenance costs, underuse and other avenues for abusers to obtain animals. Tennessee has had an animal abuser registry since 2016, with slightly more than a dozen people registered. Other states, including North Carolina and Missouri, are considering bills that would implement similar registries. — KAYLEE POCHE

care costs. “Folks, this is a health issue,” Hoffmann said in his closing remarks. “It’s a simple but tremendously important concept. It’ll reduce deaths, make better health, save money in the long run and make life better for many.” Fourteen states have already passed laws to raise the minimum smoking age to 21, according to data from the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. The state of Louisiana would have lost $5 million in revenue by raising the smoking age, according to the bill’s price tag. Opponents argued that the bill would restrict people’s liberties. State Rep. Lance Harris, R-Alexandria, argued the state should not outlaw retailers from selling tobacco products to people under 21 because smoking is legal nationwide. Harris, who is the owner of several convenience stores that sell tobacco products, contended that health risks from smoking already are posted on products and the precedent for restricting smoking would carry over to other items such as soft drinks. “Eighteen-year-olds right now can get married, they can die for your country, but they can’t make the decision to smoke?” Harris asked. “Are you going to raise the age on Twinkies to 21?” Even some anti-smoking groups did not back Hoffman’s bill. They argued that the numerous exceptions, which were added by lawmakers in the committee, weakened the proposed law. Ashley Hebert, government relations director at the American Heart Association, commented in an interview that the provision by state Rep. John Stefanski, R-Crowley, to allow retailers to mark up the price of smoking products on customers and keep the money was “the nail in the coffin.” “This particular piece of legislation,” Hebert said, “lacks enforcement mechanisms on the retailer.” — HUNTER LOVELL | MANSHIP SCHOOL NEWS SERVICE

COMMENTARY

The time to prepare for hurricane season is now FOR THE FIFTH YEAR IN A ROW, the hurricane season

got off to an early start. Subtropical Storm Andrea formed in the Atlantic last week, but never neared land and fizzled out before it had a chance to develop. May all of Andrea’s 2019 successors do likewise. The 2019 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins June 1, and authorities’ advice regarding preparations has changed over the years. Many used to say they wouldn’t evacuate for anything “weaker” than a Category 3 storm, but in recent years experts have cautioned that a slow-moving tropical storm could wreak more wet havoc than a fast-moving hurricane. Of course, we now know that even a rainstorm — never mind a tropical event — can overwhelm New Orleans’ antiquated pumping system. So it’s time once again for those in south Louisiana to develop a hurricane plan, or two: one for getting out, the other for hunkering down. The biggest change in civic policy this year is the establishment of the Smoothie King Center as the official headquarters for city-assisted evacuation. City Hall officials and the New Orleans Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (NOHSEP) say the Smoothie King Center can process evacuees nearly four times faster than the old location, the Union Passenger Terminal, and it will make evacuation easier for those on the city’s official list of people who have special needs. What won’t change are the city’s 17 “evacuspots,” located around New Orleans, where people who have no way to leave can wait for help getting out in the event of a mandatory evacuation. Five of those spots are specifically designed for seniors. The spots are marked by 14-foot statues of people hailing a bus. During an evacuation, buses will pick up folks needing a ride, transport them to the Smoothie King Center to board buses for state or federal evacuation centers, and either bring them to their homes or to local shelters when it’s safe to return. For a list of the locations, visit ready.nola.gov/evacuate. Take time now to review your hurricane preparations. Make sure friends, relatives and neighbors have a plan as well. As a general rule, don’t let your vehicle’s fuel tank get below half-full from now until Nov. 30, the

official end of hurricane season. Even before authorities advise or order an evacuation, have at least a week’s worth of medications along with baby supplies, pet supplies, wet wipes, a stash of cash and cellphone chargers ready to pack. In addition, bring copies of important paperwork (insurance policies, medical records and family photos) in a waterproof container. If you have pets, that paperwork should include your pets’ proof of vaccinations. Most important, you should know where you’re going now and be prepared to spend hours on the road. If you plan not to evacuate and to hunker down instead, be sure to have lots of bottled water (at least a gallon per person per day), ready-to-eat food, flashlights, a battery-operated radio (and extra batteries), and all the essentials listed for evacuations. For emergency fixes, a tool kit and contractors’ garbage bags are also good to have around. Experience has taught us that it only takes one storm to create havoc. Get ready now.

The Last Razoo: RIP Ronnie Virgets

SALE THROUGH JUNE 14

P H OTO B Y C H E R Y L G E R B E R

Ronnie Virgets was Gambit’s first — and last — centerfold.

•

IN THE PANTHEON OF GREAT NEW ORLEANS CHARACTERS, there should

be a special place of honor for Ronnie Virgets, who not only personified what it means to be one of those characters but also immortalized many of them in a lifetime of brilliant storytelling. Ronnie left us too soon, on May 20, to take his honored place. He was 77. Ronnie leaves behind an unrivaled body of work and countless grieving friends and admirers. Part Damon Runyon, part Jimmy Breslin, Ronnie knew everybody and everything worth knowing in this quirky city. He shared his insights and observations with Gambit readers in his “Razoo” column for more than 20 years. Each was a classic, and they formed much of his three books — “Say, Cap!”, “Lost Bread,” and “Saints and Lesser Souls.” Ronnie’s journalism career took him far and wide, admittedly because, as he told WWL-TV, “I’ve had many a job and in more than one of them I was kind of asked to leave early.” In addition to Gambit, Ronnie covered his favorite topic — thoroughbred racing — for the Racing Form and later wrote his “Railbird Ronnie” column for The Times-Picayune. He won numerous awards for his print columns and a regional Emmy for his work in television. Ronnie’s broadcast career perfectly synthesized the exquisite contradictions of a quintessential New Orleanian: He often showed up for work unkempt, underdressed and unshaven, yet perfectly at ease in front of a camera or microphone. There was nothing phony about him, and audiences loved him for it. He appeared on WWL-TV, WDSU-TV, WYES-TV, WGNO-TV and WWNO-FM. In 2002, the Press Club of New Orleans honored him with its

lifetime achievement award. In 1996, Ronnie and his longtime partner, Lynne Jensen, reigned over the satirical Krewe du Vieux parade. A native of the city’s 3rd Ward, Ronnie had a voice as unmistakable as the aromas emanating from another 3rd Ward landmark, Mandina’s Restaurant, where he once worked as a bartender. An Army veteran who served in Vietnam, Ronnie worked as a marketer for AT&T, a bouncer at the Famous Door, and as the advertising voice of his beloved Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots, where he knew everyone from the owners to the hot walkers. Ronnie also inspired my own dive into the world of horse racing. In 1999, I got a call from my friend James Gill, a thoroughbred expert himself, asking if I’d like to help him put together a group to buy a racehorse. The first name I suggested was Ronnie. Gill immediately agreed, but we both wondered if he could scrape together the requisite $5,000 investment. Turns out he could, and in honor of that we named our little group Razoo Stables. Gill had one more requirement: “No assholes. Of course, you and I are grandfathered in.” My wife Margo, an inveterate fashionista, designed the jockey silks — a cherry-red vest with a stylized “R” on front and back, with zebra stripes down the arms. When our group debuted in early 2000, we gathered inside the paddock to watch trainer Tom Amoss give his instructions to the jockey. Margo cozied up to the jock and, pointing to the silks, said, “You’re going to be envy of all the other jockeys.” Ronnie, standing nearby, groused, “No offense, Margo, but I’d rather be the envy of all the other owners!” Turns out they both got their

wish, eventually. Our little filly, Here Comes JK, won a $16,000 race in March 2000, though I don’t think the silks impressed the other jocks as much as Lonnie Meche’s superb ride. Ronnie and I laughed often at that story, and many others over the years. Razoo Stables enjoyed a four-year run before our luck ran out, but we had one helluva ride. We particularly enjoyed our hallmark lunches at the Crescent City Steak House, where we gathered before and after each season (and in between) to plot our fortunes. One of our later members, the late Joe Berrigan, joined the group even though he didn’t care much for horse racing. “I just wanna go to the lunches and sit by Ronnie Virgets,” he said. We all wanted that enviable perch. I probably had the best seat of all as one of Ronnie’s editors at Gambit. He hand-wrote his weekly Razoo columns — in very good Catholicnun-informed penmanship — on loose leaf paper, often torn from spiral notebooks. He added what I assumed was a deliberately playful twist to some of them: writing in red ink, perhaps in defiance of former editors who mercilessly wielded red pens against reporters’ errant copy. Editing Ronnie’s columns consisted of reading them, in awe, and then passing them along, unchanged. No need to tinker with perfection. I’d sooner rearrange a sunset over Lake Pontchartrain. After Hurricane Katrina, Ronnie moved to New Roads, in Pointe Coupee Parish. A friend once asked him how a city boy managed that bi-coastal lifestyle. “When I get bored of New Roads, I go back to Noo Awlins,” he replied. “When I get aggravated about Noo Awlins, I come back to New Roads.” Vintage Ronnie. In one of his last interviews, he told WWL-TV’s Eric Paulsen, “I haven’t run out of stories. I’ve just run out of energy.” That’s okay, Ronnie, because your stories will live forever. We’re a richer city for having you walk, talk and write among (and about) us. So long, Cap!

Hey Blake, I came across a postcard of Canal Street from the 1940s. It includes many recognizable department stores such as D.H. Holmes and Maison Blanche, but also one I wasn’t familiar with: Maison Maurice. What can you tell me about it? CELEBRATING 34 YEARS OF THE BEST ITALIAN IN JEFFERSON PARISH!

Maison Maurice was located at 811 Canal St. next to the former D.H. Holmes department store. The three-story building was home to other retailers before Maison Maurice opened there in 1925 as a millinery shop selling women’s hats. Maison Maurice was part of a chain established by Maurice Mendl in Paris and New York. “The Maison Maurice is coming to New Orleans from Fifth Avenue in New York where they operate the greatest millinery store in the country,” developer Laurel Fellman said in a June 30, 1921 New Orleans Item-Tri-

bune story. A newspaper ad for the Canal Street store’s Aug. 27, 1925 grand opening called it the “South’s greatest millinery centre.” The store later expanded its offerings to include other items of women’s clothing. The store underwent renovations in 1947. A newspaper ad touted its reopening with a “new atmosphere of charm and elegance, under the diamond-cool glitter of twin chandeliers.” Maison Maurice went out of business two years later in December 1950. In 1951, it was replaced by Mangel’s, a national retailer that also sold women’s apparel and had a second location at 829 Canal St. Mangel’s went out of business in the 1980s. The former home of Maison Maurice became a men’s shoe store for the adjoining D.H. Holmes. The building has been home to a number of businesses since D.H. Holmes closed in 1989.

BLAKEVIEW THIS SUMMER MARKS THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY of the Brennan family acquiring Commander’s Palace, which would become a jewel in the restaurant family’s crown. In May 1969, the family which had made a name for itself at Brennan’s on Royal Street announced its purchase of Commander’s Palace. Emile Commander founded the Garden District restaurant in 1893. The Brennans purchased it in 1969 from Frank and Elinor Moran, who had owned Commander’s since 1944. Brennan added that the purchase was fortuitous since a dispute between her and the widow and children of her late brother Owen led to a family split in 1973. Ella, her siblings and children gained control of Commander’s, while Owen’s widow and children kept Brennan’s. The split uprooted Ella and her siblings but also set them on a path to even greater stardom. Ella hired a young chef named Paul Prudhomme and the two teamed up to introduce what they called haute Creole cuisine. When Prudhomme left to open his own restaurant, K-Paul’s, his replacement was chef Emeril Lagasse. Chef Tory McPhail now runs the kitchen, and the restaurant is overseen by Martin and her cousin Lally Brennan.

PREVIEW Blue & Exile BY RAPHAEL HELFAND RAPPER JOHNSON BARNES III (BLU) and producer Aleksander Manfredi (Exile) met in the early 2000s, years after the end of hip-hop’s golden age. Blu was working as a hype man for older performers, including Slum Village, and Exile was producing for singer-songwriter Aloe Blacc, who introduced the West Coast duo. They began working together and released their debut album, “Below the Heavens,” in 2007. Blu’s agile, poetic bars and Exile’s soulful, sample-heavy beats meshed perfectly, transporting listeners to earlier times. Only 3,000 copies were pressed, and the record’s scarcity added to its lore, eventually solidifying it as a cult classic. It took five years for Blu & Exile to release follow-up “Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them.” After another five years, the duo put out an album of unreleased material from the “Below the Heavens” sessions titled “In the Beginning: Before the Heavens.” On Friday, May 24, they dropped an EP of new material, “True & Livin’.” Through the years, they’ve barely tweaked their formula, but that stands to reason. Why change what already works well? At midnight Wednesday, May 29, at The Howlin’ Wolf Den, 907 S. Peters St., (504) 529-5844; www.thehowlinwolf.com. Tickets $12.

STAGE

PREVIEW Birdfoot Festival BY WILL COVIELLO THE BIRDFOOT FESTIVAL features performances of new and classic chamber music, and fans are invited behind the scenes to watch rehearsals and explore the themes of select pieces. Franz Schubert’s “String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor” is considered a landmark composition for string quartets, and it is known as “Death and the Maiden,” because the young composer’s health was failing when he wrote it — he died at 31 years old. Birdfoot’s schedule includes an interactive session with musicians working on the piece at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 30 at the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC), as well as a full performance of it at the festival finale Saturday, June 1, at the George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center. Birdfoot was founded by violinist Jenna Sherry, who serves as its artistic director and performs at the festival. The event brings artists to New Orleans for brief residencies and open rehearsals at the CAC. Patrick Castillo, director of the Hotel Elefant ensemble, is the composer-in-residence.

REVIEW ‘Good Family’ BY D. ERIK BOOKHARDT NOW THAT HER CHILDREN HAVE GROWN and moved out of her house, doctor-turned-artist Ruth Owens has been feeling reflective. A young man dating her daughter said she had a “good family,” an intended compliment that Owens found ironic since she grew up in what would not have been considered a traditional family in many communities. Her white German mother and African-American father met when his army unit was stationed in post-war Germany, and cultural disparities seemed greater when they were in American states where mixed-race marriages had been illegal in the 1960s. Owens became a doctor and married a doctor. Their children look like all-American kids, hence the irony of looking back on the contrasts. Many of her works in this show at The Front focus on where it all began: her Creole-German childhood in Augsburg and Heidelberg, Germany. Her large painting, “Good Family” (pictured), of her and her mom, father and younger brother, says it all. Her mom watches over the kids and the group conveys a universal humanity that knows no boundaries. “Swingtime” portrays a little girl lost in the swirling world seen from a swing, and Owens’ “David and Sweet Ann,” view of her brother and a childhood friend fleshes out a worldview that is normal yet filled with contrasts — as we also see in a film Owens crafted from her parents’ early home movies. Her dreamlike scenes of Creole and white kids at parties celebrating events like Fasching, the German Mardi Gras, explore the contrasts between typical childhood joys and fraught cultural norms. An adjacent gallery space features some quietly provocative, deceptively innocent-looking new works by Katrina Andry that are unlike the large, precise and socially incendiary woodcut prints for which she is known. Nearby, a fascinating yet difficult to describe video collage by Porscha Danielle rounds out an expo that skillfully weaves empathy and challenge into an unexpected visual tapestry that transcends many traditional and perceptual boundaries. Through June 2. The Front, 4100 St. Claude Ave., (504) 301-8654; www.nolafront.org.
