seven things to do in seven days Alt-J with Lord Huron

Wed. Sept. 25 | Alt-J won the Mercury Prize — England’s top honors for pop music — with last year’s An Awesome Wave (Infectious Music), the debut from the Leeds quartet weirding its triphopped folk rock into nearly unrecognizable shapes. Lord Huron opens at 9 p.m. at House of Blues.

Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue

Wed. Sept. 25 | Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews has been everywhere since releasing Say That to Say This Sept. 10, including performing the national anthem for the New Orleans Saints’ opener. He plays a free show at the Harvest the Music series in Lafayette Square. New Breed Brass Band opens at 5 p.m.

Brain Candy

The Pine Leaf Boys

Fri. Sept. 27 | The Cajun band spent late summer globe trotting from the Rainforest World Music Festival in Malaysia to shows in Denmark and France. The band pulls into d.b.a. for a 10 p.m. show.

Men of Soul

SEPT

Sun. Sept. 29 | The tour features top soul and R&B singers Jeffrey Osborne (“On the Wings of Love,” “You Should Be Mine”), Freddie Jackson (“You Are My Lady”), Peabo Bryson (“Beauty and the Beast”) and former Shalamar frontman Howard Hewitt. At the Saenger Theatre at 7 p.m.

Jerry Seinfeld | Not everything’s been golden for the comedian since

Seinfeld sat atop the ratings for most of the 1990s and was a font of pop cultural references. Appearances on Seinfeld producer Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm were better than 2010’s The Marriage Ref. But Seinfeld still does stand-up, and he’s at the Saenger Theatre for three shows.

Viva L’American Death Ray Music with Harlan T. Bobo’s The Fuzz

Sun. Sept. 29 | Harlan T. Bobo is Goner Records’ Leonard Cohen, if Cohen was focused only on the one who got away. His first two albums were loveless affairs that brought out the best in Bobo; on 2010’s Sucker and with Memphis punk conglomerate The Fuzz, he’s figuring out what comes after the blues. Fellow Goners Viva L’American Death Ray Music headline and Bipolaroid opens at 10 p.m. at Siberia.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 24 > 2013

How New Orleans’ independent booksellers are coping with online retailers, big-box competition and e-readers By Jeanie Riess

Borders closed in 2011 after the entire company went P H OTO BY J E A N I E R I ES S bankrupt, shut 399 stores and laid off 10,700 employees. Borders blamed its demise, in part, on the e-book and a turbulent economy. What’s odd is that both the e-book and the economy haven’t dramatically affected local bookstores in New Orleans. Though sales aren’t booming, they aren’t in decline. Local bookstores have adapted to changing challengers. Instead of shunning the Internet and the e-book, for example, Scott uses them regularly to learn about books with his customers. “When you talk about books and literature ... those things (the Internet and e-books) are really tools more than anything else,” he says. “We’ll frequently go to Fantastic Fiction to find out information about authors while we’re talking to the customers, just so

n a recent morning at Maple Street Book Shop, owner Gladin Scott leads me over to the desktop computer behind his cash register. “Let’s see,” he says, shaking the computer mouse to wake up the monitor. I’m looking for a Richard Ford book but can’t remember the name of it, and Scott can’t think of it off the top of his head, though we’ve confirmed it’s the last title in the Frank Bascombe trilogy. Scott opens up a web browser and types in Ford’s name. When the book’s title appears, he goes back to the shelves. It’s a process that would take a shopper about five seconds on Amazon.com, or as Judith Lafitte, co-owner of Octavia Books, cheekily calls it: “The Big A.” The Washington state-based Amazon has nearly every advantage over local, brick-and-mortar stores. Most states, including Louisiana, don’t require the retailer-publishing conglomerate to collect a sales tax, and it’s also a loss leader, controlling the market share as it slashes prices in half. It offers free delivery on everything from Peter Rabbit books to wide-screen TVs, and with its own publishing house, its ability to dominate the book world threatens publishing companies and local booksellers alike. Though Amazon’s shadow looms large over local bookstores, it’s just the latest in a string of what Octavia Books co-owner Tom Lowenburg calls “predators” that have unable to dislodge New Orleans’ print literary culture the way iTunes and other music sharing sites, for example, hastened the demise of record retailers. As Susan Larson points out in the rerelease of her local literary guide, The Booklover’s Guide to New Orleans, book culture is alive and well in the city and booksellers are staying above water in an ever-precarious and changing market. Beginning in the late 1990s, big-box stores wedged themselves into city blocks down the street from local bookstores all across the country. They offered warehouse discounts and fancy coffees. (That tension was depicted by the 1998 romantic comedy You’ve Got Mail in which a local Manhattan bookstore was forced to close because a Barnes & Noble-esque mega bookstore chain, Fox, moved in a block away.) New Orleans largely avoided the threat of the big-box stores, something Garden District Book Shop owner Britton Trice attributes to geography. “We’ve been very lucky over the years,” he says. “Geography has a lot to do with it, in that there were never many large blocks for the big-box stores to move into.” That was true until after Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures in 2005, when Borders, the big-box chain that declared bankruptcy two years ago, reappropriated the former Bultman Funeral Home on St. Charles Avenue using $4.5 million in Gulf Opportunity (GO) Zone money (the funding allocated to the city for economic development in 2005) to renovate the historic building into the strip mall bookstore for which the company was known. When that happened, local bookstores took a hit. “With the opening of Borders on St. Charles, we saw a huge decrease in business,” Scott says. “When Borders closed, then we saw an increase in business again.” Garden District Book Shop, which was six blocks away from Borders, also suffered, mostly because it couldn’t compete with

we can learn about the authors together with the customer.” Trice says the promised meteoric climb of the e-book was anticlimactic. “We’re seeing customers come in who have said they got an e-book as a gift and just don’t like it,” he says. “Or people who actually went out and bought them and said, ‘I thought I would like this, but I like having a book in my hand.’” Larson isn’t worried about the e-reader either. Upon retiring from her post as The Times-Picayune’s books editor, a colleague gave her a reading device. Though she uses it, Larson says she still buys real books, even those she already owns in an electronic version. “I read faster on an e-reader, but I’m also completely unable to read some things (on one),” she says. “I can’t read (Charles) Dickens on an e-reader. His sentences are too long.” Asked about William Faulkner, Larson just laughed. Her son, Dash (who is named for the noir writer Dashiell Hammett), says Larson fetishizes books. “I’m not really sorry for that,” she says. “For a lot of people, their physical presence will always be really important.”

Garden District Book Shop owner Gladin Scott (right) talks about books with a customer. P H OTO BY C H ER Y L G ER B ER

District and Maple Street bookshops say they anticipate between 12 and 15 readings and signings. Those events bring potential customers into the store and encourage them to buy books. In some cases, bookstores like Octavia and Garden District Book Shop have started to charge customers to attend author events to ensure a profit. The cost of admission generally is the cost of a book; Lowenburg says it’s designed to prevent people from hearing an author speak and then buying the book on Amazon. The money also helps pay for larger events that must be held outside the bookstore. Larson says literary events are happening all over New Orleans — not just at shops that sell new books but also at a host of antiquarian bookstores downtown. Crescent City Books, for example, hosts a monthly literary salon where writers and readers share work. “One of the things that’s really interesting to me is these lively antiquarian booksellers,” Larson says. “And so much of it happens in bars! The fact that Maple Leaf Bar has had a reading series for as long as it has is phenomenal.” At Larson’s book launch a few weeks ago, more than 125 people packed Octavia Books, a standing room-only crowd that consisted of local authors and loyal readers. Local bookstores are intertwined with New Orleans’ literary community, as well as the city at large. “I think each of the booksellers is very community-oriented, working to reach out to schools, to businesses and to create a welcoming environment in each of our stores,” Scott says. “That’s not what Amazon is there for. The purpose of this place

All three Uptown bookshops adapted to the e-book threat early, inviting KOBO, the electronic reader that is both a device and a mechanism for buying e-books, onto their bookshelves. What sets KOBO apart from other devices is that it allows readers to buy e-books through local retailers, so bookshops get a percentage of the e-book sale. It’s not a great bargain and won’t come close to selling real books (in part because e-books are much cheaper than bound books), but it would have sufficed had the e-book taken off the way some feared. E-book sales account for a small percentage of business at local bookstores. At Octavia Books, sales of e-books for KOBO make up less than 2 percent of book sales. Though the music industry has become almost unrecognizable in the last 10 years, shifting from records to tapes to CDs to iPods to software, books have largely remained books. With the empty threats of the last decade, it all comes down to Amazon. New Orleans bookstores are as confident they’ll withstand that giant as they were certain they’d withstand past threats. So far, New Orleans consumers have proved them right. That’s partly because bookstores are more than just places to buy books; they host author events for local and national writers, develop relationships with schools and other businesses in the city and offer something Amazon or the next best thing will never be able to sell: knowledgeable, personal service from people who have spent their entire lives reading. In September alone, Octavia, Garden

isn’t just to sell books. We’ve been a resource to the community for 50 years. There are not many businesses that can say that.” Lowenburg takes authors from school to school in New Orleans, enabling young readers to meet literary celebrities. Garden District Book Shop is a sponsor of Family-to-Family’s One Book at a Time literacy campaign. In these ways, local bookstores are working to put books in the hands of as many people as possible, not just for business purposes but also because it’s the right thing to do, Scott says. Where booksellers are really building community, however, is within their own shops, Larson says. “They are beloved local characters, sources of support and friendship and dependable advice — kind of like bartenders,” she says. “When people think of Octavia, they think of Tom and Judith; when they think of Garden District Book Shop, they think of Britton and Ted and Amy; and when they think of Maple Street, they think of Gladin and Cindy. These individuals become important parts of our lives.” Amazon has a logarithm for recommending books, but Scott has been reading books at Maple Street Book Shop for 40 years. The new website Bookish.com, which attempts to recommend books the same way the website Pandora.com recommends music, also uses a logarithm to recommend titles, but Joanne Sealy of Faulkner House Books has been serving the same customers for the past 24 years and says she knows exactly what they’ll like. “We send them books we know are perfect for them,” she says. Lowenburg says Amazon can’t compete with his shop’s service. “We want people to understand what we provide and what we do better,” he says. “Compared to Amazon, we have a physical place where you come in and browse for books. We have a knowledgeable staff and ... a top selection of books. ... We pay attention to what customers request and what they’re reading.” Even beyond books, New Orleanians tend to buy local, whether at Rouses or on Magazine Street. Lowenburg points out that local businesses were the first to reopen after Hurricane Katrina and New Orleanians haven’t forgotten that. At Faulkner House Books, the tall, skinny building where William Faulkner wrote his first novel, Soldier’s Pay, Sealy feels confident about the future — and about defeating the next giant. “We’d rather not have to deal with The Big A, and I’m sure we’ve lost a lot of sales,” she says. “But independent bookstores are making a comeback because all of the big guys have eaten one another. “We’re still here after 24 years. It could be better, but we’re still here.”

NEWS VIEWS

Plugging the paper A new ad campaign from The New Orleans Advocate features local newsmakers — including several politicians whom the paper’s newsroom regularly covers. By Kevin Allman

Orleans newsmakers, and that’s what the people in the ad are appearing as — they’re newsmakers.” As one of the region’s wealthiest and most successful businessmen, Georges is well-acquainted with politicians both in New Orleans and across the state. At the May press conference in Baton Rouge where he announced his purchase of The Advocate, he was flanked by Gov. Bobby Jindal, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and Baton Rouge Mayor Kip Holden. Two sources with knowledge of the ad campaign told Gambit that Landrieu was approached about appearing in the television ad campaign as well, but declined to participate. Landrieu Communications Director Garnesha Crawford did not confirm this directly, but returned a request for comment saying, “Mayor Landrieu was pleased to stand with John Georges and his wife Dathel at the press conference announcing their new ownership of The Advocate and their expansion into the New Orleans market. As mayor, he welcomes new business and new investment with open arms. “The mayor does not appear in advertisements to endorse one competing commercial enterprise over another.” Asked for comment, Dan Shea, former managing editor of The Times-Picayune and now general manager of The New Orleans Advocate, sent a text message saying, “Heard you spoke with John [Georges]. I’ll let his comments stand though I’m not sure why this is a story.” None of the political figures were paid for their participation, according to The New Orleans Advocate, a fact Head confirmed. “I’m not an actress,” she said. “I just wanted to help because I truly believe New Orleans deserves a daily newspaper. I’ve known John for 25 years.” The Ethics Committee of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) has plenty of blunt advice for PAGE 12

f you haven’t seen The New Orleans Advocate’s new television campaign, you probably will soon. The brisk, clever ads emphasize the paper’s daily delivery schedule and feature local personalities — Archie Manning, Irma Thomas, Rita Benson LeBlanc, Andrea Apuzzo, the 610 Stompers — ringing a doorbell and handing copies of The New Orleans Advocate to a surprised homeowner. It’s all set to a jazzy soundtrack and the familiar Yat growl of Ronnie Virgets: “New Orleans is at ya do’ — seven days a week.” But it’s not all chefs, musicians and sports figures. Among the familiar faces ringing the doorbell are several elected officials: Jefferson Parish President John Young and Sheriff Newell Normand; St. Tammany Parish President Pat Brister; and New Orleans City Council Vice President Stacy Head. “Business is good in Jefferson Parish,” Young says, handing the homeowner a newspaper, while Head announces, “Here’s the latest from the City Council.” Most newspapers’ marketing departments — including that of The New Orleans Advocate — are completely separate from their newsroom operations. Nonetheless, using elected officials in ads for a newspaper is a new one on Kelly McBride, the house ethics expert at the Poynter Institute, a nonprofit school for journalism in St. Petersburg, Fla. “The Advocate obviously has a competitive relationship with The Times-Picayune,” McBride told Gambit. “If the politicians join The Advocate in sharing that message, what does that say about The Advocate’s ability to critically examine those politicians?” Advocate owner and publisher John Georges — who ran for governor in 2007 and mayor of New Orleans in 2010 — disagrees. At last weekend’s Rising Tide conference at Xavier University, where he introduced keynote speaker Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, Georges told Gambit, “That ad is filled with New

journalists who might be tempted to take part in politics (“Don’t do it. Don’t get involved.”), but has nothing to say about politicians taking part in newspaper ad campaigns; SPJ guidelines are aimed at reporters, not a newspaper’s marketing department. Nevertheless, the SPJ Code of Ethics for journalists is clear: “Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived,” and “Remain free of associations that may compromise integrity or damage credibility.” Could decisions made by a newspaper’s marketing department compromise a newsroom’s integrity? David Craig is a journalism professor and associate dean at the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Oklahoma and the author of two books on ethics in journalism. He also advises the SPJ on the group’s ethics hotline. “It raises questions in my mind around the issue of independence, and the principle of acting independently comes into play here, though it may be more of an issue of perception than reality,” Craig said. “It doesn’t make me start worrying that the members of the newsroom aren’t credible, but it does make me wonder what members of the public might think about it.” “Let’s say they’re mortified by this,” McBride said, referring to the paper’s reporters and editors. “They would never cut a politician slack because he appeared in one of the commercials, but the audience perceives them to be all on the same bus. Perception can be as damaging as a real conflict of interest.” Ironically, those associations are what worried some when Advance Publications’ Ricky Mathews took the reins at The Times-Picayune after the retirement of longtime Publisher Ashton Phelps Jr. For decades, Phelps had downplayed any political relationships he might have held, while Mathews was proud of his friendships with then-Gov.

In the new television ad campaign for The New Orleans Advocate, Jefferson Parish President John Young delivers a copy of the paper to a resident. Young is one of several politicians who appear in the newspaper’s TV campaign.

Bob Riley of Alabama and then-Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi and was often photographed with powerbrokers, some of them political. Since taking over in New Orleans, however, Mathews mostly has stayed out of the public eye, with the exception of speeches at business functions. And The Times-Picayune recently launched its own television ad campaign, which features no politicians or newsmakers, just iconic neighborhood images of the city snappily edited together to remind

readers The Times-Picayune has been publishing in New Orleans for more than 175 years. The Advocate’s television campaign is just one way Georges already has shown he intends to be a different sort of newspaper publisher. Shortly after buying the paper, he had his news staff manning a table and hawking subscriptions at the Greek Festival New Orleans (which was founded by his father, Dennis Georges). Before the New Orleans Saints season opener against the Atlanta Falcons, Georges and his staff covered every seat in the Superdome with a handsomely produced commemorative edition of the paper. The New Orleans Advocate and The Times-Picayune are in a pitched battle for local advertisers and readers. New Orleans subscribers who have sampled and subsequently dropped The New Orleans Advocate in the past few months recently received a letter saying, “We Want You Back!”, offering a temporary half-off subscription deal. Meanwhile, former subscribers of The Times-Picayune report getting phone solicitations offering deep discounts for readers who re-up their subscriptions. As nontraditional newspaper owners get into the business — Amazon. com’s Jeff Bezos recently bought The Washington Post, and investor Warren Buffett has been snapping up papers around the country — Georges’ unusual television ad campaign may be a harbinger of new and creative ways a newspaper can be marketed. “The reality may be that members of the public don’t care,” said the SPJ’s Craig. The Poynter Institute’s McBride, however, still isn’t a fan. “People could assume — especially in New Orleans — that these are the good old boys all getting to make decisions about which paper should be the city’s paper of record,” she said.

COMMENTARY

thinking out loud

Health care circus ast week’s main attraction in the circus that is Washington, D.C., was the wrangle over raising the federal debt limit (again) to avoid a government shutdown at month’s end. The issue splintered the GOP, with the tea party wing of congressional Republicans insisting that defunding the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) must be part of any agreement. House Speaker John Boehner, weary of what he saw as obstructionism by some in the House, let the tea party faction of the GOP have its way. The bill now goes to the Senate, where it is sure to lose. That was the attraction in the center ring. Running the sideshow was Louisiana’s U.S. Sen. David Vitter. Vitter is, to put it mildly, no fan of President Barack Obama, as he frequently reminds his constituents in emails and fundraising letters. Vitter particularly is not a fan of the Affordable Care Act, which he has referred to as “a train wreck.” To that end, he held up passage of a non-controversial, bipartisan energy bill by demanding an up-or-down vote on an amendment he claims would force members of Congress to get their health care the same way as ordinary

tives. Only five others — all Republicans — have signed on to his amendment. Even far-right conservatives like U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia are balking. They note that it’s not just the elected fat cats who will take a hit; it’s lowerpaid staffers. “We pay our staff such little money, and they work overtime,” Chambliss told the website Politico last week. “And just like every other company in America that I know of, we help pay part of their health insurance premium(s). That’s normal.” Vitter’s antic also infuriated some powerful Democrats, who pulled a stunt of their own, leaking word that they might fire back by inserting language in health care legislation to bar federal employees from subsidized care if there was “probable cause” they had patronized prostitutes. It was clearly a shot at Vitter’s six-year-old sex scandal, not a serious legislative proposal, but the punch landed squarely and Vitter howled. “[Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid is acting like an old-time Vegas Mafia thug, and a desperate one at that,” Vitter said. He also accused Reid and U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) of “personal attacks and threats that would affect each senator’s

Americans. Vitter’s amendment sounds fair on its face: Make Washington play by the same rules as the rest of us. If only it were that simple. For starters, the Affordable Care Act does put Congress and congressional staffers into the same health care exchanges as other Americans. There’s no congressional exception. What Vitter’s plan would do is eliminate the employer’s premium that the federal government pays to help cover the plan. Like many other employers, the federal government has, for many years, helped subsidize private health insurance for its employees. When Obamacare kicks in, many private employers will shift their contributions to the new health care exchanges. For instance, last week Walgreens announced it would continue to pay much of its employees’ health premiums under the new exchanges. So will many other employers for whom the plan is a wash: They’ll contribute to employees’ health care either through traditional insurance or a health care exchange. Thus, the whole premise of Vitter’s ploy — that Congress is being treated better than the rest of us — is false. Vitter’s stunt — and it is a stunt — has angered many of his fellow conserva-

personal finances,” and demanded an ethics investigation of both. All sides here need to stop playing for the cameras. Instead of posturing, senators on both sides of the aisle should explain exactly why they’re against the Vitter plan in language as simple as Chambliss’. As for Vitter, he should note the work of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), a group of conservative House Republicans led by U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise of Jefferson. The RSC presented its own alternative to Obamacare last week, calling for tax breaks for individuals and families so they can purchase their own plans. Whether you call it the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare, our nation’s new health care law has been argued and passed by Congress, signed into law by the president and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court (though new challenges to parts of the law may head back to the High Court). Vitter doesn’t have to like Obamacare, but his posturing on the issue only adds to the circus-like atmosphere on Capitol Hill. And while he may hold himself out as a ringmaster, his latest stunt is nothing more than a sideshow.

crew — prosecutors Dana Boente from Virginia and John Horn from Georgia — but what we’ve seen so far has been largely a whitewash (surprise!). Boente was named interim U.S. Attorney and Horn was dispatched to investigate possible prosecutorial misconduct in connection with “leaks” that Engelhardt wanted exposed and punished. Boente has mostly gone through the motions of nailing low-level crooks, though the office did indict former Mayor Ray Nagin on his watch. Horn’s work remains shrouded in official secrecy (read: coverup). I don’t blame Horn for this; rumor has it his reports have been or are being sanitized inside the Beltway. Meanwhile, Heebe got a total pass. Now, thanks mostly to Engelhardt’s refusal to let this mess get swept under the rug, the cops who were convicted in the Danziger Bridge case are getting a new trial.

What consequences, if any, will Perricone, Mann, Letten and others at DOJ face?

MIGNON FAGET

rrogance and power make for a dangerous admixture. Throw in hubris and recklessness and you have the political/legal equivalent of nitroglycerine. That’s essentially what U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt exposed in his 129-page ruling that gave five New Orleans cops a new trial in the Danziger Bridge case. There are no winners here. Innocent civilians were gunned down by cops in the tumultuous days after Hurricane Katrina. The facts still support a conclusion that rogue cops covered up the killing of civilians, but who knows if the case will be retried? The conviction of five cops after an intense trial — based largely on testimony from several other cops who cut deals for lesser charges in exchange for their testimony — was a high-water mark for then-U.S. Attorney Jim Letten.

Then it all came undone. Turns out the feds — both the FBI and some federal prosecutors — use heavyhanded, coercive and even dishonest tactics to try to catch some of the heavy-handed, coercive, dishonest people they pursue. “Set a thief to catch a thief,” says the old English proverb. We borrow many legal traditions from the Brits, but our justice system does not countenance prosecutorial misconduct on the scale described by Engelhardt. The first crack in the feds’ armor came when local landfill magnate Fred Heebe, who was a target of Letten’s office at the time, outed Sal Perricone, a supervisor in Letten’s office, as “HenryLMencken1951,” a frequent and virulent commenter on nola. com. Perricone resigned in short order, but Heebe wasn’t through. Months later Team Heebe exposed Jan Mann, Letten’s first assistant, as the online commenter “eweman.” She took her time resigning, but ultimately did so, along with her husband and fellow federal prosecutor Jim Mann — but not until after Letten announced his retirement in December 2012. Engelhardt’s ruling revealed that Letten knew about Mann’s online comments, but the prosecutor parsed his words when discussing the scandal in court. In the wake of the scandal, the Justice Department sent in a two-man cleanup

This is horrible news for the families of the civilians killed on the bridge. It also sucks for the rest of us, who don’t want to see bad cops, crooked politicians and other sleazeballs get off because the feds can’t behave like professionals. At this point, a lot is up in the air. The Justice Department has to decide whether, and how far, to push back. Does it appeal Engelhardt’s ruling? If so, what else might come out? If it retries the cops, how strong will the case be this go-round? (Engelhardt’s ruling cites “shockingly coercive tactics” by the feds in addition to the juvenile online rants.) And what about other cases, notably Nagin’s? He already has asked for a delay in his Oct. 9 trial. I’m no fan of the former mayor, but in light of what Engelhardt has exposed, Nagin’s request seems reasonable. I also agree with legal experts who say that any potential problems in Nagin’s case should be relatively easy to address during jury selection, so he shouldn’t go popping any corks just yet. The larger question is what consequences, if any, will Perricone, Mann, Letten and others at DOJ face — and will new U.S. Attorney Kenneth Polite make any difference? Hopefully, our federal judges will continue demanding answers from a Justice Department that seems hell bent on covering up a penchant for overreaching.

HOLLYWOOD S OUTH The New Orleans Film Festival screens 12 Years a Slave By Nathan Mattise

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 24 > 2013

Dwight Henry (left) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (second from right) star in 12 Years a Slave.

fter his screen debut in Beasts of the Southern Wild, a movie that drew four Oscar nominations, Dwight Henry isn’t signing on to act in just any film. “I’m in a good position where I don’t have to do anything for a living,” Henry says. “I’m a businessman with a bakery opening on Decatur Street and one in Harlem. I’m in a position where I don’t have to do garbage films. I want to be involved in special films, films that mean things. You’ll never see a film with me and say ‘Ugh, what is he doing?’ … And this story? This story is wonderful.” Henry plays a small role, but he’s in good company, in director Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave. Fellow Beasts star Quvenzhane Wallis also appears in the film, and they’re joined by an all-star cast including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Giamatti, Michael K. Williams and others in the locally shot film. After premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, 12 Years is drawing Oscar buzz. “I would be surprised if it didn’t win the Oscar for Best Picture,” says New Orleans Film Festival artistic director John Desplas. “It won the People’s Choice Award as the best film shown at Toronto, and (two previous winners in the past five years) have ended up winning the Oscar for Best Picture. Pretty good odds.” 12 Years a Slave is the opening night film at the New Orleans Film Festival (Oct. 10-17; www.neworleansfilmsociety.org). The festival includes a curated group of studio releases as well as juried selections of features and documentaries and short, animated and experimental films. The festival gala is Saturday, Sept. 28 at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Curated selections include the star-studded August: Osage County, based on the Pulitzer-winning stage play and starring Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts. New Orleans native and experimental film director Godfrey Reggio, of Qatsi trilogy fame, offers the impressionistic Visitors in its U.S. premiere. Alexander Payne’s (The Descendants, Sideways) Nebraska is getting buzz for the capstone performance of Bruce Dern’s career; Dern won the best actor award at the Cannes Film Festival. Kill Your Darlings is about a murder in New York that involved the investigation of Beat writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg (played by Daniel Radcliffe from the Harry Potter series). 12 Years a Slave is based on the autobiography of Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York who was abducted and sold into slavery in 1841. The story is in some ways similar to Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. “(12 Years a Slave) is a graphic presentation of slavery and not done in the Quentin Tarantino style with heavy doses of irony and satire,” Desplas says. “This is more of a straightforward narrative that being a slave was no fun, life was really hell. I think that at the end of the year, it will end up being the film with the highest accolades. Everyone seems really excited about it. “

Hughley and the touring production of the Broadway smash The Book of Mormon. Those events add to an array of entertainment options at downtown theaters this fall. Just outside the French Quarter, there’s a hub of renovated theaters. The Saenger underwent a $52 million renovation and expansion of its backstage facilities. The Civic Theatre opened its season with a concert by Empire of the Sun Sept. 19, and The Joy Theater, which reopened in December 2011 with a series of concerts, is presenting a slate of shows and concerts this fall. The Broadway in New Orleans series returns to the Saenger (www.saengernola.com), its home before Katrina. In recent years, shows were presented at the Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts, which along with the Saenger is managed by Ace Theatrical Group. The season opens with The Book of Mormon (Oct. 15-27), followed by Ghost: The Musical (Nov. 19-24), adapted from the Oscar-winning film, and Sister Act (Dec. 1722). In 2014, the season continues with Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles (Jan. 17-19), Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (Feb. 4-9), Memphis (March 11-16), about a club singer looking for a big break, and War Horse (May 13-18), about a boy who sets out to recover a horse sold to the British cavalry at the onset of World War I. The Mahalia (www.mahaliajacksontheatre.com) remains home to New Orleans Opera Association productions (The Vampire, Oct. 11 & 13), New Orleans Ballet Association presentations (Scottish Ballet’s A Streetcar Named Desire, Oct. 4) and the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. The Civic Theatre’s schedule is dominated by concerts, and this week Russell Brand (Sept. 27) performs. Upcoming acts include the Robert Cray Band (Oct. 13) and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (Oct. 14). Comedy bookings include Bo Burnham (Oct. 12) and filmmaker John Waters’ Christmas show (Dec. 10).

E GO T TR I P Tony Award winner and 30 Rock star Jane Krakowski performs at NOCCA By Alex Woodward

ane Krakowski, in the parlance of 30 Rock character Tracy Jordan, is on her way to EGOT status: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony, that is. She has Screen Actors Guild awards and Golden Jane Krakowski Globe nominations and is OCT working on completing the 7 p.m. Monday acronym. The star of stage NOCCA, 2800 Chartres St. and screen — seen in her Tony Award-winning performance (800) 838-3006 of Broadway’s Nine and as www.broadwaynola.com haughty TV diva Jenna Maroney Tickets $50-$100 on NBC’s 30 Rock — showcases her singing career for the Broadway @ NOCCA series Oct. 7, when she has a reunion of sorts with fellow performer and Broadway buff Seth Rudetsky, who turns the show into what Krakowski likens to a “Broadway series of Inside the Actor’s Studio.” “You never know what Seth’s going to bring out,” Krakowski says. “You tend to get stories people didn’t intend to tell — insider stories, last-minute changes of songs. It’s more of a freestyle evening.” The duo will pull songs from Krakowski’s career, including arrangements from her debut album The Laziest Gal in Town and, possibly, her show-stopping performance of “A Call from the Vatican” from Nine. “We’ll have a conversation or two prior to be ‘prepared’ for the evening,” Krakowski says, using “prepared” loosely. “When you work with Seth you have to come in with the set list then expect anything to happen.” Krakowski was born in New Jersey to theater-loving parents, who instead of hiring babysitters brought their daughter to rehearsals and performances. Krakowski grabbed cheap seats for “every Broadway show” and even caught a rose from stage legend Chita Rivera during a performance of Chicago. “Skip ahead I don’t know how many years later, and I’m working with her on a Broadway show in Nine,” she says. “It’s one of those moments that’s like, ‘How did this all happen?’ Those performances were so influential and so ingrained in my musical theater memory box.” Krakowski — known for her cabaret charm, humor and sass — says women in Bob Fosse’s productions also inspired her. “In movies and musicals, they didn’t have to be ingenues,” she says. “They had sassy, sexy, strong, women characters.” During 30 Rock’s seven seasons, Krakowski shone as Jenna Maroney — a character that never grew out of being a bratty but good-intentioned musical theater kid — and earned four Emmy nominations for the role. On the series finale earlier this year, Krakowski sang the theme to long-running gag-film The Rural Juror — a simultaneously hilarious and touching ending to the series. “It was the best job I think I’ve had,” she says. “I loved playing Jenna. She was outrageous and hilarious to me at all times, and I loved that. What was really special to me was I got to do the last 30 Rock song — I never expected that, nor for it to close the episode. That was really touching to me. I loved that side of Jenna, and how much they’ve used that in a comedic way through the series. Getting to end the series saying ‘These were the best days of my flurm’ sort of sums it all up.”

Joy DIVISION By Eileen Loh

The Joy Theater, a former movie theater turned 900-seat event venue, celebrated its grand opening last year. With the reopening of the Saenger Theater, the corner is a budding theater district. P H OTO BY C H ER Y L G ER B ER

“We don’t have the same kind of stage size or loading capabilities (as the Saenger), nor should we,” Mendelson says. “It’s a jewel box — there’s the orchestra, mezzanine and everything in there is very intimate. Here, you have a personal experience and people can relate to what’s onstage. We have great sound, great lights and people will come away saying they not only enjoyed the play or concert, but they loved the venue, which is very important to me.” The Joy’s fall roster includes Beatlemania Now, One Funny Mother: I’m Not Crazy!, Tony ’n’ Tina’s Wedding, Valentine’s Burlesque, and Lightwire: A Very Electric Christmas, performed by an innovative New Orleans-based theater group featuring eye-popping neon characters. Mendelson, who produces the troupe, calls it a perfect example of the creative, contemporary, distinctive shows for which the Joy will become known. Mendelson’s work with the Joy and Saenger is shaping up to be among his crowning achievements. “I’m 74, and I am more optimistic about this than anything else I’ve done,” he says. “The target audience is not only people from New Orleans, but people from the entire region who will come to enjoy a weekend in New Orleans, like they used to ... and they’re going to get hit between the eyes from one side of the street to the other.”

ccording to producer and promoter Barry Mendelson, this month could be one of the most significant times for theater in New Orleans’ history. It marks the kickoff seasons for two legendary, restored downtown theaters, two of Mendelson’s pet projects — the Joy Theater (1200 Canal St., 504-528-9569; www.thejoytheater.com) and the Saenger Theatre (1111 Canal St., 504-525-1052; www. saengernola.com). “New Orleans never had a theater district before,” says Mendelson, an impresario whose credits include managing the New Orleans Jazz and events in the Superdome, Madison Square Garden and UNO Lakefront Arena. “This could be a renaissance for this part of Canal Street.” It’s the first time either venue has hosted performances in years: The Joy was last open as a cinema in 2003, and Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Saenger in 2005. The Saenger is reopening after a $52 million restoration as a bigger, better version of itself, but the Joy is a relatively new venue. A $5 million renovation transformed the Joy from a 1946 movie theater to a state-of-the-art site for theatrical productions, concerts, comedy shows and private parties. While the 2,600-seat Saenger will host the blockbuster Broadway shows and A-list concerts for which it’s always been known, the Joy seats 900 — an intimate setting for productions that play better in a smaller space. “It’s a complement to the larger productions we’ll have (at the Saenger),” Mendelson says. “At the Joy, we’re doing shows that fit snugly and nicely into the space. We’ll have a one-woman play about Marilyn Monroe; we’ll have (the one-man play) Kingfish.

Family-style dining By Jeanie Riess

Cindy Mandina, Hattie Fraser and son Cran Fraser a fourth generenjoy a meal at Mandina’s. ation manager of the longtime P H O T O BY C H ER Y L G ER B ER Canal Street hub that bears her name, calls the restaurant “a generational thing.” She estimates half of Mandina’s customers are families dining together. She has a kid’s menu, which features versions of the restaurant’s most popular dishes, like “kid meatballs and spaghetti” and “kid shrimp.” “People like to come to a place they’ve been coming to forever,” she says. “They know the people here and the people know them. The waiters know if they like their sauce on the side, or what substitutions they need.” Mandina herself grew up going to Sunday dinners at the family restaurant, and her children eat there too. They’re partial to buttered French bread, she says Mandina says she and her staff try to keep kids from running around too much, and sometimes parents take their kids outside to wait for the food to come to the table. The day we learned that my brother and his wife were expecting my family’s first grandchild, the occasion found us at Middendorf’s, where my dad smiled wistfully at a multi-generational family seated at a long wooden table behind us. There were three small kids squeezing ketchup bottles over plates of catfish while their parents and grandparents knocked back Abita beers and laughed. My dad turned to us and pointed a thumb over his shoulder. “That will be us here, one day,” he said.

here was a lot to see under the tablecloth at Commander’s Palace as a kid. A dozen legs. Twenty-four shoes. Napkins falling off laps and hands resting on kneecaps. A dropped butter knife. That was my view circa 10 p.m., dozing off on my mom’s lap after the dishes had been cleared, a few cocktails polished off and the delicate chatter rising from one of the last lighted tables on a Friday night. For a kid, going out to eat isn’t about eating. For me, it was about embarrassing my brothers in public, trying to impress my aunt with crayon drawings and seeing my parents laugh with their parents in a way I’d never seen them do standing in our kitchen. I’d waltz around the restaurant with other kids, turning empty chairs into castle outlooks and eating the olives out of my grandmother’s martini glass. Even though I didn’t appreciate them at the time, those dreamy nights are some of my warmest memories — and for many area restaurants, making room for families is part of their appeal to local diners. Middendorf’s, the locale of many special-occasion dinners for my family, will celebrate its 80th anniversary next year. It’s possible I’ll never be able to go there without hearing my dad say about the plates of thin fried catfish he always orders, “If they didn’t take it away, I’d eat myself to death.” Co-owner Karen Pfeifer knows customers come to the restaurant for the experience of connecting with generations past and present. “It’s part of [customers’] family tradition that has continued,” she says. “We often have young families come in and say, ‘I wanted my children to see where my parents and grandparents used to take us to eat every Sunday.’” It can be cumbersome for restaurants to have little kids running around. That’s why when my brothers and I were small, our parents took us to restaurants where they knew the waiters and where other families dined, so that the sudden blows from an imaginary cannonball wouldn’t crash other patrons’ important business meetings or a romantic dinner by candlelight. Once, my family was asked to leave an upscale French Quarter restaurant after my cousin and I refused to stop doing cartwheels a few feet from our table. Not every restaurant in the city provides the ambience and tolerance for multi-generational dining. But a few have the balance down pat. Mark DeFelice, co-owner/chef at Pascal’s Manale Restaurant, says it isn’t just about having a kid’s menu, but the culture of the establishment that makes families feel at home and keeps kids entertained. He’s seen generation after generation walk through the restaurant’s doors, and he’s the fourth generation of Manales to serve them. “Some of the people coming in have been coming in since my grandfather was here,” he says. Recently, a longtime patron turned 98 and had her birthday at the restaurant. She brought her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Tequila expert Clayton Szczech has wanted to attend New Orleans’ annual Tales of the Cocktail, but he often finds himself in Mexico during the summer. He missed the event this year because he was touring distilleries in Guerrero and Chihuahua. But Szczech finally reaches the Crescent City this week to host a tequila tasting at Dominique’s on Magazine (4213 Magazine St., 504-891-9282; www.dominiquesonmag.com) at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26. The tasting features 100 percent agave spirits from three of the five categories of tequila — blanco (silver), resposado (aged) and anejo (extra-aged). The selections come from two of the oldest tequila-producing regions in Mexico and several are not available in Louisiana. The distillers include Casa Noble, Aznuia, Dos Armadillos, Celestial and Fontaleza, which Szczech describes as “the most traditional tequila money can buy.” “It’s almost like being a DJ,” Szczech says. “I put each tasting together in a different way, with different tequilas.” The event features samples served neat, not cocktails. There will be small plates offered by Dominque Macquet. Tickets are $50 and reservations are recommended. Szczech spends half the year researching and leading tours in Mexico. and the rest of the year leads tasting events and shares his expertise in the United States. Tequila is the only spirit exported from Mexico on a global scale, but 90 percent of the supply is consumed by the U.S. and Mexico, Szczech says. The Mexican government legally defines tequila for the market, but there are many spirits made from agave. The country is full of producers who don’t seek to export their spirits and thus don’t seek the official certification. He likens the array of producers to winemakers in France and the variations achieved from region to region and grape to grape. — WILL COVIELLO

3-COURSE interview

JoAnn Clevenger Proprietor of Upperline

JoAnn Clevenger moved to New Orleans as a teenager. Since then she has opened and run a bar, designed costumes and owned a vintage boutique. In 1987, she and her son opened Upperline. She is known for sharing lists of her favorite things in the city, telling stories about the art collection on display in the restaurant and for being a welcoming presence greeting patrons.

How do you explain the low turnover at Upperline?

What advice would you give new restaurant owners? C: Be strong. Expect setbacks. And I think — more for people who are opening a small restaurant — it doesn’t come immediately because there are so many other restaurants, and people have so many other choices. If you’re first opening a restaurant, don’t try to be open every hour possible. … (Y)ou have to modify what you promise to people because you might not be able to give it. So if you over-promise, it’s more likely that you fail. Generosity is also a part of this. Because generosity is tangible and whether it’s just filling up the water glasses or bringing butter when they run low on butter without them having to ask, that’s part of it. ... The other thing is to think about the people that you work with — that they are in this together with you. It’s very important that they share your vision.

What do Creole and Cajun mean to you in regard to cooking? C: Creole to me is an ever-evolving cuisine that was influenced by many different cultures and ethnic groups and geographical groups around the world. The latest in New Orleans that influenced it a lot has been the Vietnamese. Cajun is different. Cajun is, to me, a particular cuisine that’s native to southwest Louisiana and it has parameters of what’s grown there and what their culture is and what their traditional ways of cooking are. But Cajun has influenced Creole and Creole continues to evolve. It’s like brown jambalaya and red jambalaya. Both of them are part of Creole. And if Creole were to stop ... at what point should it have stopped? When only the Spanish were here or should the French have been allowed in? — MEGAN BRADEN-PERRY

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 24 > 2013

Clevenger: Being a waitress when I was in my 20s taught me how to interact with other people and how to make them happy, because when you’re a waitress or a waiter or bartender, your job is to enhance the guests’ experience. They have come not because they’re hungry .... they come because they want to have a nice experience. … I think it’s like being an actor or an actress. If you went onstage and no one ever applauded, it would be difficult to come back tomorrow and do it again. But when we make the guests really happy, they tell us and we get so excited and we go home and guess what? Tomorrow we want to come back and do it all over again.

BEER buzz Pint report

By Nora McGunnigle This month has seen many high-profile beer events in the New Orleans area. In addition to the inaugural Louisiana Craft Brewer Week (Sept. 23-29), The Avenue Pub’s participation in the worldwide Zwanze tapping Sept. 14 brought a very rare beer to a very appreciative audience. Pub owner Polly Watts confirmed that she and her staff served more than 2,500 glasses of beer during the event, and the excellent selection of rare sours and lambics rivaled the special Zwanze beer itself. Concurrent with Louisiana Craft Brewer Week, the Avenue Pub also is hosting several other opportunities with out-of-state brewers. After the Mon., Sept. 23 release of Swamp Grape Escape, the NOLA Brewing-New Belgium collaboration beer, Sierra Nevada will be supplying several hard-to-find beers in its portfolio Tue., Sept. 24 — including Hopjacked Pale Ale, Flip Side Red and Narwhal Stout. New York’s Ommegang Brewery also will be present that night to premiere its second Game of Thrones-inspired beer, Take the Black Stout. Thu., Sept. 26 will bring Greg Koch, cofounder and owner of Stone Brewing. Koch will bring beers that are extremely rare to find outside San Diego, such as vertical tastings (the same style of beer brewed in different years) of Old Guardian, Imperial Russian Stout and Belgo. During this tap takeover, there may be some surprises as well, such as tastings of Tiger Paw Saison and Grapefruit Slam Ruination. On Friday, Sept. 27, Laurie Salazar, the Director of Sours and New Belgium’s Barrel Aged program, will bring a wide variety of past and present sour and barrel-aged beer from New Belgium’s “Lips of Faith” beer series. In addition to beers already available like the Pluot, Coconut Curry Hefe and La Folie, she also will pour Cocoa Mole, Transatlantique Kriek, and NBB Loves Leopold aged in Leopold Blackberry Whiskey Barrels. Salazar also has promised additional treats for sour beer lovers.

In the glass, it offers aromas of white peach, nectarine, citrus and raspberry. On the palate, taste bright, vaguely tart strawberry, pink grapefruit, soft spices, minerality and a crisp, dry finish. Drink it with white fish, shrimp bisque, salads, sushi, pork loin, barbecue and bean dishes. Buy it at: Whole Foods Markets, Dorignac’s and Cost Plus World Markets.

Stock crash “(G)astronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin tells us that ‘stock to a cook is like voice to a singer.’ Can you really justify taking away my voice? When I have vegetarians over for dinner, I’m already making a sacrifice by forgoing a real entree in favor of a meatless one. Fairness and common sense would argue that, in return, vegetarians shouldn’t make a big deal about some small amount of a near-invisible (if crucial!) liquid. I’ve compromised my culinary integrity enough already — now it’s your turn: Vegetarians and vegans, chicken stock does not count as meat.” — J.

Carnival of dance

AE +

The Marigny Opera House New Dance Festival features six original works. By Brad Rhines

temporary Dance Festival and the New Orleans Fringe Festival. Crump also is a Big Queen of the Guardians of the Flame Mardi Gras Indian tribe, and her composition Keeper of the Flame pays tribute to her upbringing and features music by the tribe’s Big Chief Brian Nelson. Keeper of the Flame depicts the intertribal battles on Fat Tuesday, when tribes take to the streets to show off their new suits. Crump deploys dancers in duos and trios to mimic the aggressive posturing that happens between tribes and resolves the tension in a joyous Carnival celebration. “The Indians don’t really have any steps; it’s a freestyle of whatever your spirit feels,” Crump says. “The drums wake your spirit and whatever comes out, comes out. I wanted to take this beautiful culture with sewing, beading, scissors and drumming and turn it into contemporary movement. I incorporated very simple movements from the Indian culture as well as some classical ballet, some contemporary and some modern dance.” The festival was created by Marigny Opera House director Dave Hurlbert, who has played piano at classical music presentations at the venue. But Hurlbert says his true passion is for dance, and he hopes to help develop the local dance community. “Over the past year I’ve been meeting a lot of dancers and choreographers who are moving to New Orleans, or moving back to New Orleans, from all over — from Los Angeles, New York, Chicago — and that’s very exciting,” he says. “The talent here in the dance community is increasing by leaps and bounds.” The festival accepted applications for new works, and incorporating live music was a requirement. Hurl-

bert reviewed the Kettye Voltz choreographed Holding Chaos for projects along with the Marigny Opera House New Dance Festival. George Smallwood, a dancer with the New York-based Paul TayMarigny Opera House SEPT lor Dance Company, New Dance Festival and Aubrey Morgan, a former member of THRU 8 p.m. Thu.-Sun. the New York City Marigny Opera House Ballet. Each choreographer selected for 725 St. Ferdinand St. the festival received (504) 948-9998 a stipend to develop a new work. www.marignyoperahouse.org Hurlbert believes Tickets $20 general admisthat presenting new sion, $10 students/seniors work will help build a dance following as well. “To build an audience for dance, you present a lot of dance,” Hulbert says. “The more you present, the more people are going to see it. The more they see, the more knowledgeable and appreciative I think they’re going to become. That’s my theory, and I think it’s starting to happen.”

n New Orleans, the music of the streets, including brass bands and Mardi Gras Indian percussion, inform more formal jazz arrangements. At the Marigny Opera House’s New Dance Festival, parade steps inspired a couple of the choreographers’ commissioned works. New Orleanian Donna Crump incorporates Mardi Gras Indian themes and music into her piece, and Diogo de Lima relates the cultures of his native Brazil and current home in the Crescent City. “In New Orleans, when people dance to jazz, they are always grounded,” de Lima says. “When you hear the beat of a second line coming the first thing you do is bend your knees and get grounded to the ground. Everything pretty much starts from the hips down, and the entire body just reacts. In Brazil, it’s the same thing with the samba. We’re grounded. We mark our tempo with our feet instead of upper body. You build the rhythm inside your body. We all dance from inside out, both places.” The New Dance Festival (Sept. 26-29) features six new works split into two programs. The first program includes work choreographed by Crump, Chard Gonzalez and Kettye Voltz and runs Thursday and Friday. The second program features work by de Lima, Monica Ordonez and Maya Taylor, and it runs Saturday and Sunday. Each dance is performed to live music, and for his piece de Lima enlisted John Boutte. The two met in 2003 when de Lima visited New Orleans while performing with the Brazilian troupe Grupo Corpo. “(Boutte) knew I was from Brazil, and he starts singing a song from [Brazilian composer] Djavan, and he sang in Portuguese,” de Lima recalls. “Since then we became very good friends, but we never had an opportunity to work together.” Boutte will perform some of the Brazilian songs he’s recorded over the years, including “Black Orpheus” and “All About Everything,” while de Lima’s choreography will combine styles of movement common to New Orleans and Brazil. De Lima studied at the Royal Academy of Dance in London before returning to his native Brazil to join the contemporary dance company Grupo Corpo. Now teaching at Tulane, de Lima’s piece South/South examines the relationship between the cultures of South America and the American South. Crump studied dance at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) and earned a bachelor of fine arts degree in dance from Tulane University. Last year she started her own company, Good Dance Since 1984, and it has performed at the Boston Con-

PREVIEW

Hurray For the Riff Raff with Spirit Family Reunion, The Deslondes and Michael Kiwanuka

“This is a tune that we wrote when we were out in Germany,” Alynda Lee Segarra (pictured) said to the crowds at the Newport Folk Festival in late July. “We got stuck in a big ol’ traffic jam, and this just popped out of our heads.” And then, onstage, the traffic jam materialized: Segarra and her P H O T O BY S A R A H DA N Z I G ER Hurray For the Riff Raff bandmates, joined by the Hurray For the Riff Deslondes (former Riff Raff Sam Doores SEPT Raff with Spirit Family and his Tumbleweeds ranch hand, Riley Reunion, The Deslondes Downing), who were themselves flanked and Michael Kiwanuka by Spirit Family Reunion, a Brooklyn sextet whose open-throated gospel provided a 9 p.m. Wednesday Northern response to their cross-country One Eyed Jacks Southern calls. Not that Segarra minded the pileup. For the 26-year-old singer/ 615 Toulouse St. songwriter, this Indian summer of 2013 (504) 569-8361 has been a season for breakneck turns. www.oneeyedjacks.net The New Orleans band made it official in July, joining friends and tourmates the Alabama Shakes on ATO Records, then celebrated by playing a parade of Northeast music shrines: the Newport Folk Festival, Lincoln Center (for the Out of Doors Roots of American Music Festival) and the Kennedy Center. Some of the songs were Carter Family team efforts, like “Crash on the Highway” and “Blue Ridge Mountain,” though despite the band’s heightened presence and preponderance of supporters, the most powerful movements still are only Segarra, alone with her guitar. On her ATO debut, expected in February 2014, “The Body Electric” takes the reins from Look Out Mama’s “Ode to John and Yoko,” her new purview a lovely death instead of undying love. In a growing stable of gnawing songs, it has a challenge in unseating “Everybody Knows (For Trayvon Martin),” released as a live performance on Feb. 26 — the date of Martin’s death and Segarra’s birth. “Trayvon, can you hear me now/ I wanna help you but I don’t know how,” she sings tenderly, only after flashing the toughness of an arriving artist: “They say he died ‘cause he wore a hood/ I guess he can’t do it but the Ku Klux could.” Michael Kiwanuka opens.

Ron Howard’s career as a director of Directed by Ron Howard feature films has ranged from Splash to Starring Chris Hemsworth Apollo 13 to A Beautiful Mind, but it began and Daniel Bruhl with the humble action comedy Grand Theft Auto, made on the cheap under the Wide release auspices of exploitation-movie kingpin Roger Corman in 1977. Rush is no low-budget lark, but as a movie about crazed people in fast-moving cars it does represent a return (of sorts) to Howard’s roots. Maybe that’s why this true story of the intense rivalry between champion Formula One race car drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda in the 1970s is the most inspired work Howard has done in a while, a rare action movie made with grown-ups in mind. It’s not easy to make a visually interesting film that’s essentially about race cars driving around and around a track, but Howard assembled a team led by cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle and production designer Mark Digby, who together created the frenetic and highly saturated visuals of Slumdog Millionaire. It’s a nice fit for Rush, which manages to wring cinematic style from an absurdly fast-paced editing technique. The result is an artful recreation of what it must feel like to weave through tiny, tightly packed cars at 170 mph in a death-defying sport that lost an average of two drivers per year to fiery crashes during its ’70s heyday. Written by Peter Morgan, who specializes in recent historical epics (The Last King of Scotland, Howard’s Frost/Nixon), Rush devotes much time and energy to illuminating the two characters at its center. The free-spirited and charismatic Englishman, Hunt (Chris Hemsworth), contrasts sharply with cold Austrian technician Lauda (Daniel Bruhl), and each is more clearly defined — even made complete — by the differences between them. Though Rush may be all about the throes of competition, it has some things to say about the human traits that always bring us back for more. — KEN KORMAN

Enough Said (PG-13)

There’s nothing like a posthumous Directed by Nicole Holofcener performance by a widely admired actor Starring James Gandolfini to fundamentally alter the experience and Julia Louis-Dreyfus of a movie. Enough Said won’t be the last film to star James Gandolfini (Tony Wide release Soprano from HBO’s The Sopranos), who died of a heart attack in June at age 51. That distinction will go to next year’s Animal Rescue, a crime drama written by celebrated author Dennis Lehane (Mystic River). But Enough Said’s inevitable starting point a certain poignancy, especially once we get acquainted with Gandolfini’s unlikely romantic lead, Albert. He’s middle-aged, substantially overweight and a self-described slob. No sparks fly when he meets Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), but that allows their relationship to evolve in small steps that ring true to the experience of two people who’ve been around the block too many times to count but haven’t given up on life. Though Enough Said has ample substance to rise above the stream of formula romantic comedies churned out by Hollywood, it still gets weighed down by the genre’s too-familiar tropes. The overly earnest music and individual scenes crafted solely to tug at the heartstrings leave no doubt about the film’s designs on mainstream audiences. In her five previous films, including Friends With Money and Please Give, director Nicole Holofcener has often shown the wit one might expect from someone who grew up on the sets of Woody Allen movies (Holofcener’s stepfather was Charles H. Joffe, who served as Allen’s co-producer for 25 years). Enough Said is no exception, even if Louis-Dreyfus’ Eva represents yet another variation on her indelible Elaine from Seinfeld. It’s not exactly news that middle-aged people need love too. But it’s a welcome surprise to see it on the big screen. — KEN KORMAN

For ages, prognosticators have pronounced painting dead, and for the same amount of time, painting has not only survived but thrived, often dominating the art world. According to Artprice.com, paintings accounted for 65 percent of art sales in the last year, more than all other media combined. Part of its appeal is the versatility of this most fluid and immediate of all media. Just as our Stone Age ancestors used cave paintings to attune themselves to the forces of nature, today’s artists use paint to explore the perplexing new realities that surround us in a digital world that is ever more connected but also more ephemeral, even illusory.

In 1959, the Green Bay Packers hired head coach Vince Lombardi in a decision that made the team perennial winners in the 1960s and set a standard for success in professional football. Lombardi’s Packers won five National Football League (NFL) championships, including the first two Super Bowls. The Super Bowl trophy was later named for him and his name is forever written in the record books, but the drama Lombardi, recently at Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre, went beyond the trophies and statistics in its look at the man behind the myth. “Who the heck is Vince Lombardi,” poses Michael McCormick (Kevin Songy), a 29-year-old journalist who spends a week at the Lombardi residence. McCormick observes Lombardi (Casey Groves) on the practice field and in his living room. McCormick’s assignment is to figure out what makes the demanding head coach great. Lombardi has a sandpaper voice, wears thick glasses and embodies ambition and success to many. His perfectionism made him a great leader and at times a frustrating person. Groves does an excellent job embodying these qualities while giving the famed coach personal charm. Lombardi’s demanding nature carries over into his personal life. The show uses his marriage to Marie (Rachel Whitman Groves) as a way to juxtapose Lombardi’s public and personal images. Marie is a highball-drinking sharpshooter, and Whitman’s comedic timing is perfect in the deadpan line, “I miss going to Bloomingdale’s,” referring to the cosmopolitan benefits of New York, where Lombardi was assistant coach for the Giants. Marie’s brassy demeanor and witty comebacks add a layer of humor that helps make the show as fun as it is serious. Written by Eric Simonson and based on David Maraniss’ book When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi, the play includes beloved Packers players Paul Hornung (Ross Britz) and Jim Taylor (Carl Palmer). Vintage Packer game footage is intermittently projected onto a large screen framed by yellow goalposts. Hearing Lombardi’s actual voice and seeing his picture on the screen can be distracting, but the footage helps transport the audience to the Packers’ golden era. If Lombardi rested on a game-by-game reenactment of the coach’s career, it probably would not have scored a lot of points. It’s the portrayal of Lombardi as a man, not just a coach, which makes this show a winner. Lombardi truly cares for — Marie says “loves” — his players. In one scene, he massages Taylor’s shoulders like a trainer would while talking about the greatness of the Packers. He set high expectations because he believed his players could and would meet them. The production is a fitting tribute to the Hall of Fame coach — whose grandson Joe is currently the quarterbacks coach for the New Orleans Saints. By approaching Lombardi’s story thoughtfully, the show honors the man and makes us think about the legacies we’ll leave behind. — TYLER GILLESPIE

JOB GURU

Dear New Orleans Job Guru, “I really need a job fast. My money is running out since my last job ended in March, and my roommate depends on me for half the rent and utilities. Since the company I worked for closed down, I’m getting unemployment, but it’s not enough. I keep looking, and I put my résumé online for jobs like the one I had, but nothing has worked out. I’m not even getting any interviews and I’m tired of just sitting around.” — Aaron S., Slidell, LA Dear Aaron, We all know it can be a jungle out there to find a job, and most people would be in exactly your position financially if they were out of work since the Spring. Living on unemployment benefits is no easy task. Louisiana has the third lowest maximum weekly unemployment benefit per week ($258) in the U.S., behind only Arizona ($240) and Mississippi ($235). Some nearby states have considerably higher maximum weekly benefits, including Arkansas ($457) and Texas ($426).

Grant Cooper

My first observation, Aaron, is that you mentioned that you are not getting interviews. If this is the case, you may have one or more problems that need to be cleared up prior to resuming your job search. First, your résumé may not be up to par. You may want to consider having it independently evaluated by a certified professional. Once you have evaluated and hopefully improved your résumé, you will need to reevaluate your job search methods. You say that you put your résumé online, which sounds good… but where did you put it? Check back issues of Gambit for my columns on the best job boards and online search tools. You can also make a list of some of the places you’d like to work, and begin to reach out to people who work there. Then there’s LinkedIn. I checked the LinkedIn network, and it appears you are not listed. It is free to place your profile on LinkedIn. More importantly, you can use LinkedIn to begin growing a network throughout the industries and companies you are interested in exploring.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 24 > 2013

You also shared that you are tired of “sitting around.” I always recommend that those who are in the career building stages of their lives (and everyone else too) volunteer with organizations that make a difference and particularly those with missions that are related to their areas of interest. In doing so, you will meet great people, have a good time, contribute to your community, and build valuable contacts that could help you in your job search.

While all of these ideas can lay the foundation for initiating an effective job search, they may not as fast as you are saying you need in order to make ends meet. My suggestion would be to consider taking a job in the evenings, perhaps in a restaurant or retail establishment. This would allow you to earn some much needed cash while leaving your days open for interviewing and job search activities. So, Aaron, here are my suggestions, condensed into a list. • Have your résumé reviewed by a certified, professional résumé writer. • Improve and enhance the résumé to meet today’s exacting standards. • Evaluate better online job sites to post your résumé and identify potential employers to research. • Join LinkedIn and begin building an online network of people who may be helpful to your job search. • Volunteer with community groups to increase your presence and gain contacts. • Get an evening job to earn some quick cash and leave your days open to job search and interviews. New Orleans Job Guru is New Orleans native Grant Cooper. President of Strategic Résumés®, Grant has ranked in the Top 2% of 340 LinkedIn National Résumé Writing Experts worldwide, and has assisted the U.S. Air Force, Kinko’s, the Louisiana Dept. of Labor, the City of New Orleans, NFL/NBA players & coaches, as well as universities, regional banks, celebrities, and major corporations.
