WELCOME During the span of time represented by Irvine Barclay Theatre’s past 24 seasons, the City of Irvine – whose residents taxed themselves to build this performance space and have supported it since then – has grown into an amazing economic and residential environment. The University of California, Irvine – provider of the theatre’s 2.3-acre site and annual operating support as well – has become a top-ranked university. The theatre’s current nonprofit operating company was an organizational innovation back in 1986 – a public/private entity whose volunteer board of directors and professional leadership and staff, combined with the participation of the city and university, were to operate and program the facility while engendering private support for its various programs and services. Now as then, the Barclay presents an array of international artists of diversity and of top quality; provides a facility with extraordinary amenities and capabilities to community, regional and educational

organizations; and hosts UCI activities which are as likely to be a visit by the Dali Lama, as a student symphony concert or a lecture on brain function by a distinguished scientist. It is decades of enthusiasm and support from citizens, public institutions, individual patrons, companies and foundations, artists and audience members that have brought the Barclay into its 25th season. How can we ever thank you all?

THE SENEGAL ST. JOSEPH GOSPEL CHOIR The Senegal St. Joseph Gospel Choir was founded in 1950 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Ambassador Artist for Peace, Mr. Julien Jouga (1931-2001). Having an earnest pride for his country and its culture, Mr. Jouga was not only a commandant in the Senegalese army and a coach of the National Basketball Team of Senegal, but a fervent musician dedicated to the development of Catholic choral singing, utilizing the diverse repertoire of Gregorian chant, polyphony, and the indigenous harmonic forms of Senegalese music. He was a true visionary in the development and preservation of the Senegalese culture. For those who have had the chance to see Jouga leading the Senegal St. Joseph Gospel Choir from Dakar, it was impossible to forget the intensity of those focused on him, on his face, in front of which his long hands and delicate fingers transmitted the rhythm and voluptuousness to the singing. Jouga and his choir are but one, touched by the same grace. The Senegal St. Joseph Gospel Choir is now lead by its Music Director, Mr. Ambroise N’Diong, and serves as the chorale of St. Joseph’s of Medina Cathedral. Every Sunday, in the heart of Dakar’s most working-class neighborhood, the choir interprets gospel/Negro spirituals, traditional African songs, and the magnificent masses that Julien Jouga composed in his country’s four national languages: Ouolof, Diola, Sérère and Portugese Creole. The voices – to

which drums, guitar and kora are occasionally added – rise in a local polyphony invented by Mr. Jouga, testifying to a singular mastery of language combined with a profound knowledge of the country’s rhythms and music traditions. The folklore and story traditions of Senegal form the basis for many songs, bringing to audiences a direct connection to the lives of the Senegalese people. An ecumenical partisan, Mr. Jouga interpreted and combined Catholic liturgy with the indigenous Muslim songs of Senegal to create an extraordinary harmony between the two cultures that comprise the nation of Senegal. The Senegal St. Joseph Gospel Choir, therefore, represents both the humanity and fraternity that exists within the capital city of Dakar, and throughout the country of Senegal.

THE OH YEAH! TOUR

PRESERVATION HALL JAZZ BAND

The Tour Puts Two New Orleans Legends Together on the Road for the First Time Ever

Mark Braud (Trumpet and Vocals). As nephew to two former PHJB leaders, Wendell and John Brunious, Jr., Mark is proud to further his family’s musical legacy in the company of so many historic players. Beginning his career playing with the Olympia Kids, a young players’ offshoot of the famous Olympia Brass Band, Mark has gone on to record, tour, and play with New Orleans legends of both traditional jazz and R&B, including Eddie Bo, Henry Butler, Harry Connick Jr. and Dr. Michael White.

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Allen Toussaint are touring the United States, for the first time together, in a joint tour. The band, which is based out of the legendary French Quarter venue, Preservation Hall, has performed around the world and toured with a diverse list of artists, from My Morning Jacket to The Blind Boys of Alabama, but, has never before toured America with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fameinducted singer, pianist, songwriter, and producer known for penning many New Orleans classics including “Southern Nights” and “Working in a Coal Mine.” “After all these years of playing together in New Orleans and coming to the same festivals here and there around the world, it is amazing that we never hit the road as a package before,” said Preservation Hall band leader Ben Jaffe. “It was almost as if we’ve always just assumed it had already happened, and then one day it was like ‘Oh yeah, WE need to do this thing’ and the Oh Yeah! Tour was born.” The Oh Yeah! Tour is produced by Columbia Artists Management LLC. Unlike many tour packages, where two artists tour together but perform their own shows, this tour is a combined show, with lots of interaction between the two legends. “I’ve been playing with the guys in Preservation Hall around New Orleans since the 1960’s, so I’m really excited to finally get out on the road and perform together with them every night on a tour,” said Mr. Toussaint. “We’re going to have a lot of fun, and so will the audience.” PRESERVATION HALL JAZZ BAND NEW ORLEANS, LA The Preservation Hall Jazz Band derives its name from Preservation Hall, the venerable music venue located in the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter, founded in 1961 by Allan and Sandra Jaffe. The band has traveled worldwide spreading their mission to nurture and perpetuate the art form of New Orleans jazz. Whether performing at Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center, for British Royalty or the King of Thailand, this music embodies a joyful, timeless spirit. Under the auspices of current director, Ben Jaffe, the son of founders Allan and Sandra, Preservation Hall continues with a deep reverence and consciousness of its greatest attributes in the modern day as a venue, band and record label. The PHJB began touring in 1963 and for many years there were several bands successfully touring under the name Preservation Hall. Many of the band’s charter members performed with the pioneers who invented jazz in the early twentieth century including Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong and Bunk Johnson. Band leaders over the band’s history include the brothers Willie and Percy Humphrey, husband and wife Billie and De De Pierce, famed pianist Sweet Emma Barrett, and in the modern day, Wendell and John Brunious. These founding artists and dozens of others passed on the lessons of their music to a younger generation who now follow in their footsteps, like the current lineup.

Charlie Gabriel (Clarinet and Vocals). The musical heritage of Charlie Gabriel can be traced back as far as the 1850s. Great-grandson of New Orleans bass player Narcesse Gabriel, grandson of New Orleans cornet player Martin Joseph, and son of New Orleans drummer and clarinetist Martin Manuel Gabriel, Charlie is truly a living legend. At eighty-one years old, the extensive list of musicians with whom he’s played includes well-known PHJB alumni Kid Howard, Kid Sheik, Jim Robinson and George Lewis.

Ben Jaffe (Creative Director, Bass and Tuba). As son of cofounders Allan and Sandra Jaffe, Ben has lived his whole life with the rhythm of the French Quarter pulsing through his veins. Raised in the company of New Orleans’ greatest musicians, Ben returned from his collegiate education at Oberlin College in Ohio to play with the group and assume his father’s duties as Director of Preservation Hall. Today he serves as Creative Director for both PHJB and the Hall itself, where he has spearheaded such programs as the New Orleans Musicians Hurricane Relief Fund.

Ronell Johnson (Tuba and Vocals). Born and raised in New Orleans, Ronell started on the trumpet and piano around the age of 6. He is from a musical family and was taught to play, in the beginning, by his three older brothers who are also professional musicians. Also, he and his brothers are the great-nephews of Joseph “Kid Twat” Butler, who was the string bass player with the legendary Kid Thomas Valentine and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Ronell is recognized around the world and in a host of magazines and journals as one of New Orleans’ prized musicians who adds a lot of energy, animation, humor, and fire to the band stand.

Joe Lastie Jr. (Drums). Born and raised in the Lower Ninth Ward, Joe comes from a long line of family members equally dedicated to music and the church. Having played his first job with a rhythm section backing the Desire Community Choir, he would go on to study jazz with Willie Metcalf at the Dryades Street YMCA with classmates Wynton and Branford Marsalis. After a brief move with his family to Queens, New York, Joe returned to New Orleans where he was invited to substitute on drums at Preservation Hall in 1989. He’s been a regular with the band ever since.

Freddie Lonzo (Trombone and Vocals). Born and raised in New Orleans’ Uptown neighborhoods, Freddie was exposed to the music of the streets at a very young age. Having cemented his desire to play New Orleans jazz, these early Second Line

IRVINE BARCLAY THEATRE | 7


parades would later offer him his first professional gig with EG Gabon and Doc Paulin’s Band. A true master of every style of New Orleans music, from marching brass to modern jazz, Freddie’s first appearances with Preservation Hall date back to the mid-eighties when he toured and played with Percy Humphrey and Kid Sheik.

Clint Maedgen (Saxophone and Vocals). Though Clint is best known as leader of multi-media alt-cabaret group The New Orleans Bingo! Show, he has been in love with the sound of traditional New Orleans jazz since he was a small child. After studying with clarinet innovator Alvin Batiste at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Clint returned to New Orleans’ French Quarter where he cemented his reputation as an artist and collaborator through an ongoing series of eclectic and experimental musical ensembles. As a full-time member of the PHJB, he brings an infectious passion to both his playing and singing.

Rickie Monie (Piano). Born and raised in New Orleans’ Ninth Ward to jazz loving church musicians, Rickie was inundated at an early age with the recordings of such great jazz and gospel pianists as Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson and Teddy Wilson. After majoring in woodwind instruments at Dillard University, Rickie turned back to the piano and picked up work in every style of music. In 1982, Monie got his first call from Preservation Hall, to substitute for the legendary resident pianist Sweet Emma Barret after she suffered a stroke. To the delight of audiences around the world, he’s stayed on board ever since. ALLEN TOUSSAINT

Allen Toussaint has crossed many paths in his illustrious 50 years plus career in music. He has produced, written for, arranged, had his songs covered by, and performed with music giants The Judds, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Elvis Costello, Patti LaBelle, Dr. John, Aaron and Art Neville, Joe Cocker, The (original) Meters, Glen Campbell, The Band, Little Feat, The Rolling Stones, Devo, Ernie K-Doe, Lee Dorsey, Irma Thomas, Etta James, Elvis Costello, Ramsey Lewis and countless others. His songs have been featured as theme songs for the television programs, The Dating Game (“Whipped Cream”) and Working (“Working in the 8 | IRVINE BARCLAY THEATRE

Coalmine”). His songs/productions have been featured in numerous films, including but not limited to, Casino, Moulin Rouge and Maid in Manhattan. He has served as musical director for the Broadway play, High Rollers Social and Pleasure Club and the off-Broadway play, Staggerlee, which won the prestigious Outer Circle Critics Award. Toussaint got his shot as a solo artist with a record for RCA. Two of his earliest tunes, “Java,” which became a megahit for trumpeter Al Hirt and “Whipped Cream,” the Herb Alpert hit, became instrumental standards. Toussaint then went on to team up with Lee Dorsey, who was often backed by the funky rhythm section known as The Meters, turning out a string of hits that included “Working in the Coalmine;” “Holy Cow;” “Ride Your Pony;” “Sneaking Sally thru the Alley,” “Yes We Can” and many others. “Working in the Coalmine” was then recorded by The Judds; “Yes We Can” became a smash hit by The Pointer Sisters; “Sneaking Sally thru the Alley” was recorded by both Robert Palmer and Ringo Starr. Toussaint continued to put his mark on the music business with his arrangements on LaBelle’s hit, “Lady Marmalade,” continuing on with Patti through the early stages of her solo career after establishing himself as one of the greatest songwriters, accredited to him by BMI Music. Toussaint has been honored with several Grammy nominations including, 1977’s song of the year, “Southern Night,” performed by Glen Campbell; the Toussaint and Elvis Costello CD collaboration entitled The River in Reverse, which gives a voice and home to Allen’s beloved New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina; and Toussaint’s first solo recorded project in over 20 years, The Bright Mississippi in 2009. After years of writing, producing, recording, arranging, performing and conducting, Toussaint’s music is continuing on. Several of his songs are commercial themes: “Yes We Can” (Slim Fast) and “Working in the Coalmine” (Walmart). His productions are continuously sampled and are introduced to an entire new arena of listeners (“Louie” – ODB and “Lady Marmalade”– Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim, Missy Elliot). His songs “Java” and “Southern Night” have both been credited and cited for over 2 million airings. The truly amazing part is there’s more to come... Toussaint has been awarded many accolades: the 2012 National Medal of Arts; the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; the Grammy Trustees Award; the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame; the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame; the Artistic Honoree of the Young Audiences New York Children’s Arts Awards and countless others. The Bright Mississippi on Nonesuch was voted “Best Record of the Year” for 2009 by the French Jazz Academy, the first time the award has been given to a non-traditional jazz artist.

1990-2015 In 1974, Irvine voters approved the first of two bond issues to support the construction of a community performing arts facility. It was finally a partnership of the City of Irvine, the University of California, Irvine, and the volunteer leadership and professional staff of the nonprofit Irvine Barclay Theatre Operating Company that refined the vision and got the job done. The city led the construction; the university provided the land; the theatre’s operating company augmented public support with millions of dollars of private contributions including major gifts from the Barclay family, the Cheng family and The Irvine Company. Irvine Barclay Theatre opened to the public on September 30, 1990. Follow us on social media
