SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

P H OTO BY ANNABEL MEHRAN

Diving lessons

THU. SEPT. 8 | Alex Brettin’s haze-filtered pop project returns to New Orleans with a new album in tow, August’s Skiptracing (Stones Throw), an island daydream raised on Harry Nilsson’s hairier coconuts and his bleary Malibu lost weekends. Video Age opens at 9 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

Crystal Castles FRI. SEPT. 9 | Once Crystal Castles fans get past the loss of lead singer Alice Glass — she stepped aside in 2014 for personal reasons and has been replaced by Edith Frances — the new Amnesty (I) (Fiction/ Casablanca) provides comfort in the most uncomfortable ways: another noise siege from sonic poltergeist Ethan Kath. At 9 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.

Joanna Newsom on Divers,, harp and her live transformation.

BY ALEX WOODWARDD @ALEXWOODWARD

Sturgill Simpson THERE’S ONE HARPIST WITHIN TRAVELING DISTANCE TO NEW ORLEANS, who also happens to own

a Lyon & Healy harp and reliably gets that harp into the hands of Joanna Newsom. Rachel Van Voorhees of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra is that harpist. Rather than consign a massive but delicate instrument to the unforgiving rear of a tour trailer, Newsom often hires a harpist at her port of call.

“It’s usually a hunt,” Newsom tells Gambit. “I just play Lyon & Healy harps, and there aren’t that many harps to begin with. It is really cool in many cities I go through I’ll often get a chance to meet great orchestral harpists, classical harpists, who are kind enough to let me use their instrument for the night.”

Her homebound Lyon & Healy (“It’s got a lot of gilding and carving and it’s very elaborate”) isn’t safe for the road, but she relies on the company’s harps with the reassurance that “it’s going to be a great instrument” as she learns “its particular quirks — the tension of the pedals, whether there are any new strings I have to keep an eye on.”

Newsom returns, borrowed harp in hand, to New Orleans for the first since 2010 on Sept. 9 at the Civic Theatre.

“When I show up, I know what the dimensions will be — the width of the soundboard, the spacing between the strings. Those sorts of things where there won’t be any surprises,” Newsom says. “You learn harp technique is universal to some extent, but you also learn how to coax the best sound out of an instrument based on certain variables — knowing that playing in a certain way will produce a certain amount of volume, or a certain quality of percussiveness, or softness. All these different colorations depend on the variables, the instrument being more or less fixed so you can work within that. If I can understand as much as possible in advance, I can be

FRI. SEPT. 9 | Skirting even farther outside the county lines than on his Carl Sagan-twanging 2014 LP Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, Sturgill Simpson cements himself as the genre’s resident mystic on A Sailor’s Guide to Earth (Atlantic) — while further distancing himself by feuding with the Academy of Country Music and finding the roots of Nirvana’s “In Bloom.” At 8 p.m. at Saenger Theatre.

Soul Sister’s Birthday Jam SAT. SEPT. 10 | DJ Soul Sister opens her 10th annual birthday jam with a set of funk and rare groove and is followed by The Chuck Brown Band, purveyors of go-go, Washington D.C.’s funk and soul hybrid.

Plus there are special guests. At 10 p.m. at Tipitina’s.

Pujol

more free to play more expressively with that instrument.”

Newsom’s harp threads her four albums, including her acclaimed 2015 album Divers, her first since 2010’s immense triple album Have One on Me. Both titles seemingly salute their devoted listeners while inviting them to submerge, once again, into her words and music; on Divers, a nonlinear exploration of a place and its people and things, bound by time — time as an omnipotent force in the way The Hobbit’s riddle answers (“This thing all things devours: Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws iron, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to meal; Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down”). The album closes with “Time,

Love is not a symptom of time. Time is just a symptom of love.”

SUN. SEPT. 11 | The latest from prolific Nashville-based songwriter Daniel Pujol is Kisses, a basement-recorded EP of poems and rock ’n’ roll adding to a head-scratching, ear-warming catalog untethered to his manic “Southern gothic rock” self-description. Pudge and Fishplate open at 10 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

Gary Clark Jr. MON. SEPT. 12 | Though not a stranger to local stages, Texas bluesman Gary Clark Jr. finds his recent local connections to local audiences on screen — appearing in an NCIS: New Orleans episode in May and now with the Sept.

release later this month. Last week, film industry insider outlet Deadline reported the film’s producers benefited from more than $37 million from Louisiana’s film tax credit program, reported unPH OTO CO U RTE SY der the headline “Louisiana Sends Dollars To ‘Deepwater L I O N S G AT E F I L M S Horizon’ Disaster Flick As Charities And Feds Hunt Money For Disaster Aid,” in the wake of flooding in August. According to Deadline, producers could reap $32 million if they choose to sell those credits back to the state at 85 percent of their value. In exchange, shooting the film created or supported 2,500 jobs. Nearly 11,000 people have signed an online petition asking the filmmakers to “direct some of the film’s proceeds to nonprofit groups in the Gulf working to help people and the environment recover from BP’s damage.”

“Such are the breaks of the film incentives game, which sometimes has a way of taking money from those in need and sending it — at the least opportune moment — to others who need or want it for purposes of their own,” Deadline’s Michael Cieply wrote.

Louisiana Film Entertainment Association President Robert Vosbein told WWL-TV last month that film production in the state may be off by as much as 70 to 80 percent compared to 2015. — ALEX WOODWARD

Jeff Landry, Louisi-

The driver is living in the U.S. illegally — in Jefferson Parish. Mayor Mitch Landrieu said, “The old adage of never letting a good crisis go to waste is on full display.”

“This geriatric bunch of stooges are nothing more than a bunch of political cock roaches [sic] starved for attention. … Let’s just call them the ‘Krewe of Dementia’ because they probably won’t remember that they even belong to this nonsensical organization.” — Michael Lawrence, U.S. Senate campaign coordinator for David Duke, in response to the reactivation of the Louisiana Coalition Against Racism and Nazism, a group formed in the 1990s to oppose Duke’s run for Louisiana governor (see Commentary, p. 13).

Among the group’s members are political pundit James Carville, former Gov. Edwin Edwards and former WDSU-TV news anchor Norman Robinson, who sparred on air with Duke in 1991. Lawrence called them “basically a bald-headed buffoon,” “nothing more than a Viagra salesman” and “a washed-up journalist that can’t find a job.”

3. Feds give $1 million to

fight Louisiana ODs

Last week, the Drug Enforcement Administration warned New Orleans that heroin and its synthetic counterpart fentanyl pose a significant drug threat, while the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

(HHS) announced $1 million in funding to Louisiana to help improve access to opioid abuse treatment.

Agents with the DEA’s New Orleans field office announced departmentwide training for administering naloxone, a nasal spray to counter the effects of an overdose. As of mid-May, 65 people in New Orleans died this year from opiate overdoses, according to New Orleans Coroner Jeffrey Rouse. There were 63 opiate overdose deaths in all of 2015. As Gambit reported in a June cover story, however, statewide law enforcement had not yet been trained to administer the potentially life-saving drug.

HHS’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration will provide up to $11 million to 11 states to expand services to combat opiate abuse. Other targeted states include Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon and Rhode Island.

4. Get on the bus Ride New Orleans (RNO), a transportation advocacy group, presented its third annual “State of Transit” report last week, examining how the metro region is doing in public transport. RNO acknowledged the recently expanded service and extended hours on streetcar and bus

5. Feds won’t block

monument removal

Two federal agencies say they have no interest defending the Battle of Liberty Place monument following a years-long agreement with the city of New Orleans to keep it in place. On Aug. 26, attorneys for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation wrote the agencies have “no further or programmatic interest” in preventing the removal of the monument, which commemorates the 1874 white supremacist revolt against the state’s Reconstruction-era government. Attorneys argued the monument “is not federal property, nor will the city expend federal funds for the proposed removal of the Liberty Monument.”

Their dismissal glimpses a response from other federal agencies involved in a separate lawsuit filed by monument proponents trying to halt the city from removing the Liberty Place monument and three controversial statues memorializing leaders of the Confederacy. That lawsuit — filed immediately after the New Orleans City Council’s December 2015 vote agreeing to take down the monuments — is held up in the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. An oral hearing is set for Sept. 28.

6. Louisiana tops in obesity rates

The Trust for America’s Health ranked Louisiana No. 1 in the nation in obesity in its annual “State of Obesity” report. It found that 69.2 percent of adults in the state are either overweight or obese, putting Louisiana in the Top 5 states in terms of percentages of adults with diabetes and hypertension. One bit of good news: Obesity rates of Louisiana preschoolers on the federal Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) decreased significantly between 2008 and 2012.

7. Black and gold all over After a disappointing 0-4 presea-

son showing, the New Orleans Saints kick off their regular season Sunday, Sept. 11, at noon in the Superdome in a matchup against the Oakland Raiders. The following week is an away game against the New York Giants on Sunday, Sept. 18, while the traditional rivalry comes Monday, Sept. 26, in prime time when the Black and Gold take on the hated Atlanta Falcons in the Dome.

8. Payton: No comment on Kaepernick

Saints quarterback Drew Brees drew headlines last week when he spoke out against San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Kaepernick’s choice not to stand when the national anthem is played at NFL games as a silent protest of racial inequality. Brees later walked back his criticism, saying he supported Kaepernick’s right to protest, but disagreed with the method.

Given the team’s 0-3 preseason record at the time, perhaps coach Sean Payton had the smartest reaction: “Honestly, we have a lot more important things we’re working on right here in our building.”

Big Tymers reuniting at House of Blues Oct. 7 Cash Money Records duo Big Tymers — featuring label founder Bryan “Birdman” Williams, aka Baby, and influential producer, DJ and MC Mannie Fresh — will reunite Oct. 7 at House of Blues (225 Decatur St.). The duo parted ways more than a decade ago, leaving behind five studio albums and the foundations of a New Orleans rap empire that developed from the label’s local beginnings into a global phenomenon. Big Tymers announced a reunion on the heels of Cash Money’s partnership with Apple Music and the release of the documentary The Cash Money Story: Before Anythang.

Is U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy prepping for a loss by Donald Trump in the presidential election? During a C-SPAN interview last week, Cassidy said “The message we have is pretty good; it may turn out that Mr. Trump is not the messenger,” before going on to sketch out ways the Republican leadership could work with Hillary Clinton should she become president. Cassidy also addressed the Senate candidacy of white supremacist and neo-Nazi David Duke, saying, “In Louisiana, it’s a non-event.”

Rooms to grow A new restaurant and distillery on St. Charles Avenue is among several new hotel developments outside downtown’s tourism corridor.

BY ROBERT MORRIS | @UPTOWNMESSENGER A MASSIVE COPPER STILL FROM CARL DISTILLERIES IN GERMANY ARRIVED ON A SHIP AT THE PORT OF NEW ORLEANS LAST WEEK , and

soon it will become the centerpiece of Lula Restaurant Distillery, slated to open in November the former Halpern’s Furnishings Store on St. Charles Avenue.

The restaurant is a first step in the planned redevelopment of the entire block into a major expansion of the Prytania Park Hotel, which is among a wave of boutique hotels opening in New Orleans outside the French Quarter and Central Business District.

Restaurateur Jess Bourgeois first introduced his idea for Lula to neighbors in the Lower Garden District in May 2014. Since then he has worked his way through not only city bureaucracy but also the Louisiana Legislature. With the help of former state Rep. Bryan Adams of Gretna, Bourgeois and partner Bear Caffery drafted successful legislation allowing “micro-distilleries” that produce fewer than 12,000 gallons of spirits a year and function similar to beer brewpubs.

Lula’s distillery will make vodka, gin and rum from Louisiana sugar cane that will be sold and used in the restaurant and distributed to a handful of retailers.

Bourgeois and his partners began renovations on the Lula space in May, focusing first on the drainage and plumbing required for a restaurant and distillery. Those efforts are nearing completion, Bourgeois said, and changes to the building will be more visible soon.

Inside, heavy pine trusses cross each other 13 feet above the floor, with the top of the ceiling extending another 10 feet, giving the central dining room a majestic but industrial feel. The top of the copper still will reach into that ceiling space at the rear of the building, and diners will be able to see it in action. The restaurant also features large bay windows looking onto St. Charles Avenue.

“It’s a great space,” Bourgeois said. “It kind of just accentuates what we’re doing here.”

The menu at Lula is almost finished, said Bourgeois, who was raised in Donaldsonville and trained at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Austin, Texas, worked

in the kitchen at Commander’s Palace and for the Superior family of restaurants, most recently in Birmingham, Alabama. The menu reflects a melding of what he grew up eating and the techniques he learned professionally. Nothing costs more than $20.

While Bourgeois prepares the restaurant for opening the first week of November, the Halpern family prepares the rest of the block for future development. First, the family intends to convert a vacant lot at the corner of St. Charles Avenue and Melpomene Street into temporary parking for two years, said Dori Schulman, daughter of furniture store founder Alvin Halpern, who envisioned the block’s transformation. He died in January.

“It’s really going to make that corner nicer for the foreseeable future while other plans are put in place,” said Tracie Ashe, an architect for Studio WTA, which is managing the project.

The family’s long-term plan for the block is two major expansions of the 60-room Prytania Park Hotel, Schulman said. The first phase will be a new 48-room expansion replacing the temporary parking lot.

The second phase will be a new 90room building in a current parking lot on the Terpsichore Street side of the avenue. The new buildings will have their own parking structure, which Lula will share.

The Halperns’ plans are among a wave of hotel projects planned outside traditional tourist centers.

The Pontchartrain Hotel on St. Charles Avenue underwent a major renovation that converted it from long-term living spaces into a boutique hotel and reopened the Caribbean Room and the Bayou Bar. The Valentino family will open the 90-room Alder Hotel next to Ochsner Baptist Medical Center in spring of 2017, serving the hospital, the university community and visitors.

In Mid-City, the Loren Hotel and Suites will offer about 130 rooms near the University Medical Center complex, though its location on the Canal streetcar line will make it attractive to tourists as well.

Also in Mid-City, nearer the Lafitte Greenway, developer Ryan Donegan plans a $100 million mixed-use project behind the

The restaurant is expected to open in November.

Rouses on S. Carrollton Avenue that would include a boutique hotel among its mix of fitness facilities and long-term housing.

Mavis Early, executive director of the Greater New Orleans Hotel & Lodging Association, said there is no single reason for the proliferation of new hotels outside the city’s tourist core. As downtown becomes more redeveloped, potential locations for major hotels there are shrinking, Early said, but the continued growth and evolution of the tourist industry likely is a larger reason for the new development pattern. As the city draws international accolades as a tourist destination, Early said, even the traditionally slower summer months are seeing higher occupancy rates.

Early currently is tracking 2,000 new hotel rooms that are planned for the city, with 400 of them under construction. The new locations for the hotels reflect the ways the city is growing: Tulane University announced this year’s incoming class is its largest, and the city is seeing growth as a wedding destination.

New hospitals and expanded programs at City Park now provide more for tourists to do in Mid-City besides the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. The growth in tourist activity outside the traditional hub of the French Quarter and CBD is encouraged by marketing campaigns such as “Follow Your NOLA.” “That’s just a natural growth pattern to move out from the core,” Early said. “There are different kinds of travelers, because more people are traveling, and seeing different parts of the city allows people to see our culture and what our city’s about.”

COMMENTARY

DAVID DUKE IS POISONOUS.

His political views are racist, anti-Semitic and white nationalist — and they poison America’s political environment.

Since being elected to a brief term in the Louisiana House of Representatives in a special election in 1989, the former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard and longtime neo-Nazi has attempted to rebrand himself several times, running for various offices, mostly to raise money from his fellow haters.

In 2002, he pleaded guilty to felony tax evasion and mail fraud charges related to his fundraising practices.

Now the perennial candidate is running for the U.S. Senate — inspired, he says, by the candidacy of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. Duke is doing his best to yoke himself to Trump’s brand of populism, from making a robo-call urging

Louisiana voters to cast ballots for the two of them to criticizing Gov. John Bel Edwards for not meeting with him and Trump regarding the Louisiana floods.

Duke has not held public office in more than two decades. That hasn’t stopped him from running, most famously for governor in 1991. He’s also run for president, for the U.S. House and for the U.S. Senate. This Senate bid will be his third. His claims of support for Trump notwithstanding, Duke appears to have no standing in the GOP. Characterizing the robo-call as “absolutely disturbing,” Trump campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson told Politico, “The Trump campaign has no knowledge of the campaign

that David Duke is running and we have disavowed David Duke and don’t condone any of the activities he is doing.”

(Pierson’s denunciation was actually more emphatic than Trump’s; earlier this year he

said he wasn’t familiar with Duke.) Louisiana GOP leaders also have repudiated Duke; state Republican chair Roger Villere says Duke’s “history of hate marks a dark stain on Louisiana’s past and has no place in our current conversation.” We agree.

Today Duke is a fringe candidate, but fringe candidates can still be dangerous. That’s why a 25-year-old political action committee, The Louisiana Coalition Against Racism and Nazism, was reactivated last week with a bipartisan advisory board that includes former Govs. Edwin Edwards and Buddy Roemer, former U.S. Sens. Bennett Johnston and John Breaux, former GOP Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi and many other public officials and civic leaders. Tulane University professor emeritus Lawrence Powell chairs the group.

In a statement announcing the group’s revival, Powell wrote, “The struggle for racial, religious and ethnic good-

will is never really done. And that’s why we’ve decided to reactivate the Louisiana Coalition: to affirm the values of decency and civility against champions of white nationalism and racial anti-Semitism.”

The coalition has a website, www.stopduke.com, and plans to run ads about Duke’s past, exposing his hateful history for those who

Today Duke is a fringe candidate — but fringe candidates can still be dangerous. don’t remember or were too young when he first slithered into the public eye. There’s a danger in giving Duke any attention — it’s oxygen to him — but the fact that 2016 has emboldened him to run again means his brand of hate must be addressed — again.

Hey Blake, In the 1970s and ’80s, there was a commercial that aired with a singing trash can. I’ve tried to Google it and nothing comes up. I know I did not dream this and hope you can help prove to my friends I am not crazy!

TINA

Dear Tina, You most certainly are not crazy, but the idea of a singing, dancing trash can might have been. That’s exactly what an advertising campaign for Mayor Ernest N. “Dutch” Morial’s Clean City Committee depicted. It was part of an initiative to reduce litter on city streets by adding hundreds of new trash cans.

The receptacles featured a cartoon figure of a man (wearing purple, green and gold stripes) with his arms outstretched and “Throw me something mister!” printed below.

The 1978 television commercial was the creation of the Peter Mayer advertising agency. It was produced by local advertising and public relations executive Clem Goldberger and featured a jingle written and performed by her agency colleague Sid Berger, who remembers the jingle was recorded at Allen Toussaint’s legendary Sea-

A TV commercial starring a singing trash can won an advertising award for Peter Mayer advertising.

Saint Studios. Berger says three different commercials were filmed on a shoestring budget with a cast that included local actor Allen Koob as the dancing trash can.

Times-Picayune critic David Cuthbert took note of the commercial, calling it “the amiable bit of anti-litter promotion in which a dancing trash can is followed through the streets by a group of citizens truckin’ on down to a catchy snatch of song.” Berger proudly recalls that the spot won an Addy award, presented by the Ad Club of New Orleans. The commercial was equally popular on the streets, where Goldberger remembers seeing lots of “trash can man” costumes the following Mardi Gras. Thanks to the Ad Club, you can watch one of the commercials at www.bestofneworleans.com. Here are the lyrics: Oh I’m just a little garbage can sitting around on the street.

I may be little, but my job is big.

I’m trying to keep New Orleans neat.

So don’t throw it on the ground or leave it hanging ’round.

Bring it on over to me.

Throw me something, mister.

I said “Throw me something, mister.”

I said “Throw me something, mister.”

BLAKEVIEW ONE OF THE PLACES FEATURED IN THE GARBAGE CAN COMMERCIAL IS ONE SHELL SQUARE, where the trash can and his friends can be seen dancing

up and down the steps. Did you know the 51-story, 697-foot-tall building is the tallest in both New Orleans and Louisiana? For four years in its early history, it was even the tallest building in the Southeast (though the Westin Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta surpassed it in 1976). Located at St. Charles Avenue and Poydras Street, the limestone-and-glass skyscraper opened in 1972. It was developed by Gerald D. Hines and designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill architectural firm. The office building, whose main tenant and namesake is Shell Oil Company, was sold last year to Hertz Investment Group.

EARL LONG USED TO SCOFF THAT IF YOU WANTED TO HIDE SOMETHING FROM THEN-ATTORNEY GENERAL JACK GREMILLION, PUT IT IN A LAW BOOK. Today, Uncle Earl

would surely say something similar about Louisiana AG Jeff Landry — only put it in plain sight on a map of Louisiana. Landry clearly doesn’t know Jefferson Parish from New Orleans.

That must be the case, because in his zeal to make political hay out of a tragedy, Landry erroneously stated that a person living in the U.S. without legal permission, who clearly lives in Jefferson Parish, is nonetheless a beneficiary of New Orleans’ alleged “sanctuary cities” policy. Indeed, there are so many things wrong with Landry’s shameless, ham-fisted, demagogic attempt to grandstand on the bodies of two innocent people killed in a tragic accident in St. John the Baptist Parish that it’s difficult to get them all into one column.

Let’s start with the AG’s most egregious offense: trying to capitalize politically on a tragedy. On the morning of Aug. 28, a bus filled with workers recruited to clean up flooded areas around Baton Rouge was involved in a fatal crash that killed St. John Fire Chief Spencer Chauvin and Jermaine Starr. Chauvin was responding to an earlier accident on I-10, and Starr was a passenger in a car that was rear-ended by the bus.

The 37-year-old bus driver, Denis Yasmir Amaya Rodriguez, does not have a driver’s license and is in the U.S. illegally from Honduras. He has been cited several times for driving without a license and has been arrested on other charges as well.

He’s now in jail; his bond has been set at $1.1 million.

Never one to pass up a chance to score cheap political points, Landry issued a statement claiming that Louisiana’s lack of a “sanctuary city” ban is to blame. The AG supported a bill to punish such cities (New Orleans being an obvious target, but other parishes could qualify as well) by depriving them of key state funds — all at the AG’s discre-

The Cheapest Green Packaging In The South

tion. The bill cleared the House but was killed in a Senate committee after opposition from the governor and Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand, who called the measure “a bullshit bill.”

“It comes as no surprise that Amaya-Rodriguez was living in metropolitan New Orleans, our state’s only sanctuary city,” Landry’s statement said, adding that sanctuary policies encourage illegal immigration and threaten public safety. The AG said lawmakers should reconsider the sanctuary city ban.

Landry’s lack of sensitivity to the deceased is inexcusable, but only an idiot — or a rank opportunist — would overlook the fact that Rodriguez lives in Jefferson, not New Orleans. His arrests came in Jefferson as well. Moreover, as Mayor Mitch Landrieu noted, the company that owns the bus is likewise based in Jefferson — and cannot legally operate in New Orleans.

“The old adage of never letting a good crisis go to waste is on full display,” Landrieu said of Landry’s ploy.

Here’s another adage: If you want to hide something from Landry, put it in plain sight — and give him a roadmap.

that connects five hotels in less than two miles. Word of mouth among guests and hotel personnel keeps the family-style eatery packed.

“You got to want to get here, and sometimes you need a shoehorn to get in the door,” says chef Ron Iafrate, who has served Creole comfort food in the small strip mall spot since 2012.

Iafrate grew up in his Italian mother’s kitchen, and the rule she taught him infuses his Creole cuisine: use fresh, local ingredients. “Keep it simple, keep it fresh,” Iafrate says.

Considering the abundance Louisiana has to offer to gumbo — shrimp, crab, crawfish tails, okra and rice all can be locally sourced — it’s no wonder Iafrate decided to call the South home after leaving his native Rhode Island.

Iafrate believes okra is essential to another trinity of Creole cooking: flavor, texture and meaning. Okra not only adds depth of taste and acts as a thickener, it also connects the 21st-century cook to the inception of Creole cooking itself.

“Embrace the slime,” Iafrate says, chuckling.

A chicken breast or a fillet of black drum smothered in Jefferson sauce, a savory concoction of white wine and seafood, is available on request.

Gluten-free options at the Gumbo Stop abound. Many traditional Creole dishes are naturally free of

gluten, and Iafrate has created a blend of gluten-free, all-purpose chickpea and rice flours to make roux for gluten-free gumbo.

“I apply the same Creole tricks to the gluten free-style cuisine as I do the regular menu cuisine, and that helps elevate it — it gets some really good flavors,” he says. “I may secretly replace my seafood gumbo with the gluten-free gumbo and see if anyone notices. It’s that good.”

LAST YEAR, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS COACH SEAN PAYTON WAS FIRED UP TO COACH WHAT HE DESCRIBED AS GOOD GUYS — BUT THOSE GOOD GUYS MADE FOR A BAD FOOTBALL TEAM. WITH AN 0-4 START IN THE PRESEASON, WILL 2016 BE ANY BETTER? BY BRADLEY WA R S H A U E R

Saints head coach Sean Payton brought in new talent to overcome his team’s ranking as the worst defense in NFL history.

The Saints picked up free agent linebacker James Laurinaitis to beef up the defense.

P H OTO BY DERICK HINGLE

IN HINDSIGHT, THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS’ RELATIVE SUCCESS IN 2013 MAY HAVE RUINED THE TEAM. That year’s 11-5 record and road playoff win over the Philadelphia Eagles convinced the New Orleans front office that all was well.

The next two seasons proved otherwise.

To fans recovering from the team’s 7-9 record in 2012, which then seemed like an aberration, the missing ingredient was head coach Sean Payton, and his return from exile for his part in the bounty scandal ensured continuing success. The good times would continue to roll.

Obviously, things haven’t worked out that way, and Payton has acknowledged the team has serious work to do as the franchise celebrates its 50th annivesary with a less than golden record.

In 2014, the Saints tried to build on the previous year by adding big-money players like safety Jairus Byrd and investing in existing players like pass rusher Junior Galette. They would make an immediate title run. Instead, they fell on their faces, finishing 7-9, as they had in 2012, and doing so in

a particularly miserable fashion.

Byrd struggled and then got hurt. Galette became a problem, failing his leadership role as defensive captain and being charged in January 2015 with domestic violence in an incident that was caught on video. Other issues came to light, too, including reports of locker room brawls. The foundation of 2013 turned out to be rotten, and Payton decided to tear it down and start over.

“I think it’s creating the environment for leadership to flourish,” the coach told Pro Football Talk in February 2015. “I’ve got to do a better job of creating that environment, certainly better than we did a year ago.”

Before the 2015 season, the Saints shipped off tight end Jimmy Graham and wide receiver Kenny Stills. The team cut Galette, even though doing so wrecked its precarious salary-cap situation. They loaded up on draft picks and went after players Payton described as “the tough, smart football players, guys that love playing.”

That was all well and good, and it seems to have made long days at work more enjoyable for

24 Payton, who, during and after the 2015 season, spoke glowingly of his team’s revamped culture.

“We’ve got a good group that are grinding, preparing, and that gets you fired up to go to work,” he told local media in October 2015.

As fired up as Payton might have been to coach his group of good guys, those good guys made for a bad football team. The 2015 Saints finished 7-9, just like the 2014 and 2012 teams.

And they only won that many games because quarterback Drew Brees, after missing a game with an injury and working to develop a rhythm with new receivers like Willie Snead, had one of the better seasons of his legendary career.

Without Brees, 2015 might have been the end, because last year the Saints had the worst defense in the history of the National Football League.

THE 2015 SAINTS DEFENSE ALLOWED 6.6 YARDS PER PLAY. That’s the most allowed by any NFL

defense ever and was so much worse than the second-worst team that the Saints would have ranked 40th in this statistic if there were 40 teams in the NFL. The only reason the Saints were No. 31 in overall yardage defense instead of 32 was because their offense was so good at keeping the defense off the field. They were the seventh-best team in time of possession and allowed the seventh-fewest opposing drives. That didn’t matter because the Black & Gold allowed 2.58 points per drive, 0.32 points worse than the second-worst team, the Cleveland Browns. (That’s the same as the difference between Cleveland and the 16th-ranked Miami Dolphins.) In other words, the Saints were the equivalent of a 40thranked defense on a yards-per-snap basis and a 45th-ranked defense on a points-per-drive basis.

If Brees and his offense hadn’t been capable of keeping the defense off the field, the numbers the Saints would have allowed would have been like something from the Arena League.

Still, Payton rightly could argue that his new good guys were young and would get better.

Cornerback Delvin Breaux, linebacker Stephone Anthony, pass rusher Hau’oli Kikaha, receivers Snead and Brandin Cooks, offensive lineman Andrus Peat and others were part of a new core around which Payton could build, and as they improved, the number in the win column would increase.

Payton was so confident and comfortable, he said in a season-ending press conference-turned-spectacle that he decided to stay in New Orleans despite months of intensifying rumors to the contrary. “The grass isn’t always greener at some spots,” he told ESPN shortly afterward.

But is the grass still green here? For this year, Payton stocked up on veteran free agents like defensive tackle Nick Fairley and linebackers James Laurinaitis, Nate Stupar and Craig Robertson, and added even more young defenders, including defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (who will miss the first few weeks of the season with a broken leg) and safety Vonn Bell.

But even if the Saints’ defense improves under coordinator Dennis Allen, who replaced Rob Ryan during the 2015 season, the offense that has carried the team until now has to remain great for it to compete — and there’s no promise that will happen.

UNDER PAYTON, SAINTS FANS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO COUNT ON THE OFFENSE. The

aerial attack machine Payton and Brees have constructed is so good that, in 2015, against the New York Giants, Brees became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw seven touchdowns in a game — because he had to.

Previously, every member of the NFL’s tiny seven-touchdown club had won his game easily, but Brees had to throw a seventh TD just to drag his team into overtime.

But nothing can wreak havoc on an offense like a struggling offensive line, and throughout training camp, and in each preseason game, the Saints’ offensive line has struggled.

Star left tackle Terron Armstead suffered a nondisclosed injury in a preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers Aug. 26. Longtime right tackle Zach Strief is only getting older. And on either side of center Max Unger, the Saints have a collection of overmatched undrafted players and fish-out-of-water second-year tackle Andrus Peat.

It’s been bad, with running backs unable to find room and quarterbacks throwing on the run and off-balance as they try to escape the pressure — when they are able to escape it at all.

Dating back to 2006, Payton’s Saints have had an offensive line they could rely on, especially at the guard position. Now, with future Saints Hall of Fame inductee and guard Jahri Evans gone, that’s no longer the case.

Despite the burgeoning career of Cooks, the emergence of Snead and the training camp

hype of rookie receiver Michael Thomas, the Saints’ offense was downright bad this preseason. It’s an unprecedented situation for Payton.

An offense with great talent and skill and no offensive line is like being Olympic legend Usain Bolt in running shoes made of concrete.

It’s likely the 2016 season will be the ultimate test of Payton’s new foundation. He’s tossed out the bad apples and remade his locker room.

These guys are his guys, and he praised them throughout training camp.

But cracks began to appear in Payton’s optimistic facade during preseason. Looking tired, he launched some pointed criticisms. “(Offensive guard Tim) Lelito swings and misses. Peat swings and misses,” he said. Of young quarterback Garrett Grayson, Payton said, “I would like to see him further along at this point than he is.

“We’ve got to have a sense of urgency about some of these things that have shown up maybe just more than one game,” Payton said.

For fans, these are not comforting words.

They sound more like a warning. For the first time since 2006, the New Orleans Saints seem capable of a complete collapse.

A record of 6-10 sounds about right, though the team has a shot at doing a bit better if its offensive line holds up. It will be even worse if it doesn’t at all. And Brees still hasn’t gotten a new contract.

Wondering what the results of a total collapse this year might be? Use your imagination.

Brandin Cooks was a first-round draft pick in 2014 and is a key part of Payton’s new offense.

2. CORNERBACK Delvin Breaux is a real player, but after him the Saints have a fleet of players who have either never played or have barely ever played. P.J. Williams looks like a possible contender, but relying on drafted free agents like Ken Crawley and De’Vante Harris is a high-risk strategy.

3. PASS RUSHER It’s a lot like cornerback. The Saints have defensive end Cam Jordan, but after that their pass rush is composed of hopes and dreams. Pass rusher Kasim Edebali has flashed potential, and is probably the best bet. If Hau’oli Kikaha can return from his third ACL injury since 2012, he can help — but not until 2017.

Banh voyage

Smoke break over LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AFTER DAMIAN BRUGGER’S ABRUPT DEPARTURE FROM CENTRAL CITY’S BLACK LABEL ICEHOUSE (3000

Banh Mi Boys offers creative Vietnamese dishes

BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund THERE’S NO SHORTAGE OF FANTASTIC VIETNAMESE FOOD IN NEW ORLEANS, and in the past several

years, traveling to destination eateries has become less necessary as new spots sprouted all over town.

Many of these places are the product of second- and third-generation immigrants, which have honored traditional dishes and reinterpreted them in creative ways.

Banh Mi Boys, which opened in May in a tiny spot on Airline Drive, belongs to that breed of new Vietnamese restaurants. Owner Peter Nguyen’s family ran several cafes in the city prior to Hurricane Katrina, but the dishes here carry the telltale mark of a younger generation not afraid to paint outside the lines.

Half of the menu stays within the confines of conventional Vietnamese fare, including banh mi sandwiches packed with pickled vegetables and vermicelli bowls topped with sweet and smoky grilled meats. The rest of the menu turns tradition on its head, featuring playful twists heavy on New Orleans influences.

“Heavy” is the operative word here.

This isn’t spa cuisine.

Nguyen’s creativity and indulgence yield spring rolls wrapped around fried egg roll halves and hunks of avocado. Fried oysters are doused in decadent “Rockefeller” sauce made with cheese, garlic, spinach and butter. That sauce tops everything from French fries to po-boys.

The pinnacle of this approach is steak-and-egg fries, a dish that puts

WHERE

debris fries to shame. Marinated and grilled chuck steak is sliced thin and served over a towering portion of fries along with pork pate, a sunny side up egg, caramelized onions, a drizzle of mayonnaise-based sauce and a shower of scallions. It might be overkill, but it’s the ideal 2 a.m. drinker’s dream: a mix that’s sweet, salty and plenty fatty.

Classic Vietnamese dishes fall on the lighter side. Grilled pork strips have deep char marks and sweet and smoky flavor. The meat sits atop vermicelli noodles with a bouquet of fresh and pickled daikon radishes and carrots, fresh cucumbers and lettuce. Plump shrimp and thin slices of roasted pork fill spring rolls and come with thick, fiery peanut sauce. Fried egg rolls are packed with ground pork, shrimp and carrot spears and served with sweet and spicy chili-fish sauce.

Banh Mi Boys appears better suited if not designed as a takeout operation, but the abundance of fried food doesn’t do anyone any favors. Light breading on fried catfish,

oysters and shrimp succumb within minutes of pickup — all three quickly rendered soggy and unappetizing.

As the name implies, there are several iterations of the Vietnamese standby. Served on rolls from Duong Phuong Bakery and dressed with pickled vegetables and cilantro, the BMB combination packs it all in: thick slices of head cheese, ham, a healthy dose of pate and bright red morsels of sweet barbecued pork. It’s as decadent a version of the Vietnamese sandwich as there is, and heavier than most on the meat-to-vegetable ratio. Like much of the food here it feels like a divergence from the more modest approach found at Vietnamese restaurants elsewhere — a fun twist on tradition.

Dryades St., 504-875-2876; www. blacklabelbbq.com), the pitmaster known for Texas-style brisket and ribs is moving into a new home at St. Roch Market (2381 St. Claude Ave., 504-609-3813; www. strochmarket.com). Bruggers Barbecue (www.facebook.com/ bruggersbarbecue) opens Sept. 16 in the spot formerly occupied by Dirty Dishes, which left the market earlier this month.

Brugger, who hails from Texas, built a local following at barbecue pop-ups at Ms. Mae’s and Barrel Proof. After getting forced out of the Dryades Street smokehouse he helped open in July 2015, Brugger returned to his roots, popping up outside Barrel Proof, The Courtyard Brewery and Mid-City watering hole SideBar before signing on to the St. Roch gig.

“I’m just happy to be back in business doing what I love doing,” Brugger says, adding that he’ll smoke meats in a covered area behind the St. Roch building.

Diners can expect a spread similar to what Brugger has served in the past.

“It will be the same smorgasbord of smoked meats,” Brugger says.

“Brisket is my thing, so that will always be on the menu.”

There also will be pulled pork, smoked chicken, turkey and homemade sausage in a number of plate and sandwich options, plus several sides. Guests will be able to eat at the market or take out pint and quart-sized containers of barbecue to go.

Because the vendors at the market adhere to the same hours — 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends — Brugger will serve a selection of breakfast dishes as well. The menu may include pulled pork and waffles and a barbecue-style breakfast burrito, he says.

At 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 12, Brugger teams up with Company Burger’s Adam Biderman for a onenight-only pop-up at Company Burger (611 O’Keefe Ave., 504-3099422; www.thecompanyburger. com) in the CBD. Called “Company Brugger,” diners can expect a mash-up of both barbecue and burgers. — HELEN FREUND PAGE 33

End of Summer Sale

September 6TH-12TH

Organizers (l. to r.) Market Umbrella Development Chair Katie Rosenblum, Market Umbrella Community Advisory team member Bruce Gallassero, Domain Companies Community Engagement Manager Mary McCullough, Market Umbrella Executive Director Kate Parker and May Gallery & Residency board member Ava Kerr present a map of the new Crescent City Farmers Market.

COURTESTY CRESCENT CITY FARMERS MARKET

New market place AFTER SPENDING MORE THAN TWO DECADES ON THE CORNER OF MAGAZINE AND GIROD STREETS, the

downtown Crescent City Farmers Market (www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org) is moving to a new home in the Central Business District. Starting Oct. 1, the Saturday morning market will be at the parking lot outside the May Gallery (750 Carondelet St.).

Real Estate developer The Domain Companies, which is a partner in the lot and adjacent buildings, has donated space to the gallery and the market.

The announcement comes a few months after market organizers first said they would have to leave the spot at 700 Magazine St., which the property owners will redevelop for commercial use.

“Months ago, we began this search by asking our vendors and shoppers their ideas for a new location,” said Kate Parker, executive director of Market Umbrella, the organization that oversees the Crescent City Farmers Market. “The overwhelming feedback was that we stay downtown. ... Matt Schwartz and his team at Domain have been instrumental in helping us bring the region’s best local food to New Orleanians without interruption. We are excited to develop more activities in partnership with Keene Kopper and the May Gallery, through which we can build upon our city’s rich arts and culinary culture together.”

The new location is slightly bigger, but there is no covered

area and vendors will use tents and umbrellas for shade.

The market’s hours will be 8 a.m. to noon Saturday.

Mojo working LOCAL COFFEE HAWKERS MOJO COFFEE ROASTERS (www.mojocof-

feeroasters.com) expanded to the French Quarter when they opened a coffee bar inside the Saint Hotel (931 Canal St., 504-522-5400; www.thesainthotel.com) Sept. 1.

The company opened its first cafe (1500 Magazine St., 504-525-2244) in the Lower Garden District in 2006 and has been growing since owner Demian Estevez jumped into the roasting business last year with barista-turned-roaster Matt Cronin.

The new location, called Mojo Coffee Bar, has a short menu featuring the company’s single-origin, small-batch coffee and espresso drinks. It also sells brewing equipment and coffee accoutrements.

The cafe is open 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. — HELEN FREUND

How did you organize the relief effort?

SINS: I may have just been the girl with the first idea … but there’s no way this could have happened without a team of people jumping on board to help out. There was such overwhelming generosity from the restaurant community, chefs and restaurant owners.

I ended up having to start a separate (private) page just for the chefs we were working with because the need was so great. ...

You start the spark and then the fire happens.

My house was on the levee breach of the 17th Street Canal during (Hurricane) Katrina, and I think like many New Orleanians, every person you know was touched — whether they were touched by the water or just touched by the disaster — and I see that same thing here. ...

There’s a point where it’s challenging to accept people helping you. You want to do it on your own, but no matter who you are, you can get blindsided by something and you need a support system in place so that you can get past it. Then you become the support system for the next guy.

What struck you most about doing disaster relief as a chef?

S: Being on the other side of such a massive natural disaster is eye-opening. You realize why certain things happen the way they do and why certain procedures are in place. It reinforced to me how important the restaurant community is to emergency outreach.

I was crazy about being super careful about food safety and making sure all food came from a verified restaurant kitchen. In a

restaurant, we’re worried about getting the food to the plate and making sure it tastes delicious … but when you’re looking at a scale of 3,000 meals a day with no electricity, no refrigeration, how is that going to happen? So as much as (people from Louisiana) wanted to feed people and make them feel better, I kept telling people, if you’re just the average girl or guy, bring granola bars; bring things that are prepackaged, because then I can guarantee that it’s going to get to somebody. ... I noticed that prepackaged foods were what we needed the most the first few days.

As much as (chefs) want our knives and our fire and we want to travel, that’s not always what the need is. The need might be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

We trucked 9,600 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on giant trucks through five feet of water.

We couldn’t cook there.

How can people help?

S: I’ve been trying to do as much as I can to help Second Harvest (Food Bank). Another thing that this brought to my attention is that, yes, people are helping and willing to give immediately after a disaster, but when we think about where we were after (Hurricane) Katrina — three months, six months, for some people two or three years down the road — the need was still there. For Second Harvest to be able to provide meals into the future is really important, especially after the Baton Rouge food bank flooded. I hope I have facilitated some relationships where chefs, distributors and volunteers can start coordinating directly with Second Harvest and keep the momentum going through the rest of the year. — HELEN FREUND

EAT+DRINK BEER BUZZ

BY NORA McGUNNIGLE

@noradeirdre

SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER ARE BUSY MONTHS IN THE LOCAL BEER SCENE, with

special events and the release of many seasonal beers. Louisiana Craft Brewer Week runs Sept.

18-25, with events across town including the LA/ SPCA fundraiser NOLA On Tap Sept 24.

Second Line Brewing just started distributing its Batture Blonde Ale and IPA in six packs, using its new bottling system. The six packs hit the market this week.

Chef Nathanial Zimet brings his Purple Truck food truck to a series of a la carte beer pairings at The Avenue Pub (1732 St. Charles Ave., 504-586-9243; www.theavenuepub.com). On Sept. 15, Jerry Vietz, head brewer at Quebec, Canada’s Unibroue, will attend a Unibroue and Purple Truck beer- and food-pairing event at the bar.

It’s never too early to start planning for Oktoberfest. The original Oktoberfest celebration in Munich, Germany is Sept. 17-Oct. 3.

Many local breweries are expanding their fall seasonal portfolios to include an Oktoberfest marzen lager. For the third year, 40 Arpent Brewing Company releases its official Deutsches Haus Oktoberfest beer at a tapping event that kicks off Deutsches Haus Oktoberfest, New Orleans

area’s largest Oktoberfest celebration. That festival runs Oct. 7-8, 14-15 and 21-22. It’s open 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturdays at Kenner’s Rivertown.

Urban South Brewery’s fall seasonal is a 5.8 percent alcohol by volume Oktoberfest marzen style and is now available. Other Oktoberfest seasonal beers include Covington Brewhouse’s Fest Bier and Abita Brewing Company’s Octoberfest, which won a bronze medal in the Great American Beer Festival’s marzen category in 2014. Although not specifically an Oktoberfest style, NOLA Brewing Company’s Darkest Before Dawn, a dunkel-style lager, is now available.

The Avenue Pub will feature beers on draft and in casks by small, family-run German breweries throughout October.

OF WINE THE WEEK

winediva1@bellsouth.net

BY BRENDA MAITLAND

2014 Tua Rita Rosso Dei Notri Tuscany, Italy Retail $26

This Super Tuscan blend of 50 percent sangiovese and 50 percent merlot, cabernet sauvignon and syrah stands up to competitors costing two and three times more. The Tua Rita estate was founded 32 years ago in Suvereto, a hilltop village in Tuscany’s Livorno province south of Bolgheri.

The winery is 330 feet above sea level with 25 acres of vineyards planted on clay, sand, pebbles and silty soils. In the cellar, grapes were gently pressed, fermented 15 days in stainless steel tanks and spent an additional 20 days macerating. The wine was divided into 3-year-old French barriques and stainless steel tanks for three months. In the glass, it offers intense aromatics of blackberry, currants and cassis with hints of leather and cedar. On the palate, taste black cherry, plum, herbal notes, sweet spice, acidity and integrated tannins. Decant one hour before serving. Drink it with grilled meats, prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, lasagna, pizza, Bolognese dishes and barbecue. Buy it at: Swirl Wine Bar & Market.

Newsom dresses her winding verses with internal rhymes and perfectly placed words hitting just the right sounds — a wide-mouthed vowel, a soft, rounded consonant or click — with her voice, alien and angelic from an imagined prairie or mountain wood in a Martian heaven. Her work demands close and repeated listens, a literary pleasure and an immense musical one, mounted by buoyant piano and harp — and on Divers, an array of instruments to stage an otherworldly pop opera.

Synthesizers, Wurlitzers, harpsichords and clavichords texture the album; on “Leaving the City,” Newsom’s brasssampling Mellotron hammers her verses as if she’s forging metal. “It is actual analog tape recordings of instruments rather than a synthesized version of instruments,” she says. “It comes with all these interesting warps and quirks because of individual performances on each individual note. … It ultimately sounds like a Mellotron. It

doesn’t sound like anything else on earth.”

Newsom and her band had to rework the album’s singular arrangements for live performance. “We sort of find instruments within the pile we’re traveling with that share coloration or share timbral similarities with instruments on the record and find a way to make it work,” she says.

“This one was really hard for me to let go,” Newsom says of Divers. “I think we ended up mastering it 11 times.

The mixing process took months and months, which is really atypical for me. In past records, I’ve mixed in two or three weeks. This one, I don’t know why, I went in really deep. … I was really obsessed about it and I had a particular vision and a particular idea.

It took me months and months, and I remixed a lot of songs, and took them home, and lived with them in different environments, took instruments out that had once been integral parts of the songs, I removed them and did overdubs in the mixing

studio I didn’t expect to do.

The album found itself in the mixing process.”

She takes a deep breath and sighs.

“We went into that with that intention in mind, girding ourselves for an extremely involved process, just totally

submerging in the record for months and months,” she says.

“It took me a long time to be like, ‘OK! It’s done, it’s done, it’s done. Stop thinking about it. It’s done. You can’t change it anymore.’”

Asked whether she feels burdened by the album,

performing it live, Newsom says it does the opposite.

“An album is frozen in amber in a way,” she says. “It doesn’t change. I have albums I listen to that change over the years because I get older and I get new perspectives on life, and I think about songs new ways all the time, but the work doesn’t change. … The real exciting, life-giving aspect of touring for me is the songs change every night. I’m playing with such incredibly talented, sensitive and technical players who are so present. There are arrangements, they’re set, we figure them out together, but we move with them and change with them, especially the dynamics. There are nights where all together as a band we get quiet for a passage we’ve never been quiet for before. Things like that. There’s so much listening. If the album is this big, monolithic iceberg, the band version of the songs is this little Huckleberry Finn raft that’s been halved off the side of it and we’re all bumping down the river together.”

WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED IN 1976 THAT, FOUR DECADES LATER, KRAFTWERK WOULD STILL POSSESS THE MOST TECHNOLOGICALLY INNOVATIVE LIVE MUSIC • Sept. 9 PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR? Probably • 8:30 p.m. Friday everyone. Certainly anyone who had witnessed the self-processing of the German soothsayers • Orpheum Theater in the mid-1970s, from analog instrumental • 129 Roosevelt Way noodlers to Autobahn bandwidth surfers • (504) 274-4871 to heady, deadpan Trans-Europe Express conductors and, finally, Man-Machine android • www.orpheumnola.com mongrels. The 21st century has played out exactly as Ralf Hutter and Florian Schneider said it would, and thus the world finally caught up to Kraftwerk. It’s impossible to listen to any electronica from 1980 to present day without hearing resounding echoes of this band. Part of it is due to the amino-acid nature of its recording techniques, which used custom-built tech to convey universally understood musical language (ringing octaves, pinging sonar, static scratches, motorik cycles, monotone funk). The other part is the circuitous congruence of a group of humans making music as robots that ended up as the digital backbone for so much more human music: “Trans-Europe Express” alone served as Joy Division’s entrance music, Afrika Bambaataa’s regenerative engine and the minimalist inspiration for just about every ’80s sci-fi TV and film theme ever. This audiovisual exhibition augments a 40-year career retrospective with holographic, theater-filling three-dimensional projection. As if there’s any other way.

REVIEW

THE MURDER OF 28-YEAR-OLD KITTY GENOVESE ON A DESERTED STREET IN QUEENS, New York in 1964 reverberated around the globe and came to symbolize the arrival of a less innocent era. According to a front-page story in The New York Times published two weeks after Genovese’s funeral, 38 people watched her protracted assault from a 10-story apartment building but did nothing to help. The story became an emblem of the moral bankruptcy of urban communities, permanently damaged New York City’s reputation and inspired a new branch of psychological study in bystander apathy based on a principle known as the “Genovese Syndrome.”

The problem with the story of Genovese’s murder is that almost none of it is true.

Director James Solomon’s documentary The Witness isn’t the first work to challenge the veracity of the Times’ original story, but it’s the only one to fully debunk key elements of it — to the extent possible given the passage of more than 50 years.

The film is not the work of a bold investigative journalist correcting others’ mistakes. Solomon was granted permission to film Genovese’s now-retired youngest brother, Bill Genovese, as he conducts an amateur investigation into circumstances surrounding his sister’s death. Bill’s only hope was to find peace of mind and closure for himself and his family.

Those humble beginnings give The Witness an organic quality that sets it apart from many staged-for-the-camera documentaries. Both a moving meditation on grief and loss and an edge-of-your-seat, true-life detective story, the film also paints a long overdue, humanizing portrait of Kitty not overshadowed by the lurid details of her death or the unfounded cultural symbolism associat• Sept. 9-15 ed with it.

• 7:30 p.m. Friday-Thursday Solomon and Bill Genovese (who is credited as executive producer) worked on the • Zeitgeist Multi-Discipinary film for 11 years as the truth of what happened to Kitty gradually came into focus.

Cross-referencing details of trial transcripts, heavily redacted copies of original Arts Center, 1618 Oretha police detective work and journalistic research conducted long after the murder, Castle Haley Blvd., (504) 352Bill finds surviving witnesses to his sister’s death and uncovers crucial information 1150; www.zeitgeistnola.org neglected or ignored by previous investigations.

Solomon does an excellent job transforming Bill’s highly personal journey into COURTESY THE WITNESSES FILM an emotionally engaging film. The director creates settings in which Kitty’s family and friends open up for the camera, sharing their stories and finding much-needed catharsis. Where other documentaries damage their own credibility through dramatic re-enactments, The Witness employs understated, beautifully animated line drawings created by award-winning animation studio Moth Collective. The film builds an antidote to decades of sensationalized coverage of Kitty’s tragic tale.

That coverage constitutes a second mystery — beyond the facts surrounding Kitty’s murder — that must be addressed.

How did The New York Times get the story so wrong, and why have the rest of the news media mostly repeated the erroneous reporting for decades?

The Witness offers no easy answers to these questions. A rampant desire for career success among Times staffers likely had something to do with it, along with the paper’s singular status and reputation. Whatever the underlying causes, there are tough lessons to be learned from a terrible failure and the damage it caused to individual lives. In an era when political figures devote themselves to delegitimizing the news media, the need for a free press to report the truth looms larger than ever before. — KEN KORMAN

WHERE ARE WE?

REVIEW

Some people around the world feel increasingly disoriented as changing times and changing technologies make their once familiar surroundings seem ever more alien. New ripples in the art world often reflect issues that many people sense but cannot articulate, and this year’s No Dead Artists exhibition continues its uncanny history of such subcurrents resonating through the work of emerging artists. Beyond all the upheavals posed by global economics, politics and climate change, the widespread human tendency to grasp at simplistic solutions to complex situations fails to provide the answers needed to adapt to a time in which robotics and digital technology increasingly make the world around us seem more like virtual reality. The dizzying complexity of our increasingly technological urban environments is explored in Chicago artist Alex Braverman’s geometric photo collages of urban vistas like Chicago Loop • Through Sept. 17 Landmarks #43-46, 2010 (pictured), but the • No Dead Artists: National juried contrast provided by Nate Burbeck’s more pastoral oil paintings of everyday life in group exhibition Minnesota should be reassuring. Look again • Jonathan Ferrara Gallery, 400A and his surreal suburban scenes and green Julia St., (504) 522-5471; www. pastures sliced with graffiti-tagged interstate ramps can seem as disembodied as jonathanferraragallery.com dreams where a sense of place is replaced by a GPS reading.

Disorienting changes offer promise, despair and even a strange kind of beauty. They also can be spooky, as we see in Beth Davila Waldman’s images of urban ruins and Jenny Day’s landscape paintings based on satellite images of Superfund sites along interstate highways in the West. Meanwhile, in cities including Miami and New Orleans, spaces below overpasses have become dystopian campgrounds for the urban nomads seen in MaryLou Uttermohlen’s photographs of those who fell through the cracks. Works by Ti-Rock Moore, Christina West, Jason Willaford, Sarah Knouse, Larry Simons and Mia Yoon further explore the ways in which the world seems to come apart and reassemble itself. Christopher Rico, Ben Long and Jack Schoonover suggest a sublime side concealed within the chaos of modern life, a hint perhaps that a silver lining may exist for those who look hard enough to find it. — D.

STAGE REVIEW

WHILE FLOODING AND SIGNS OF GLOBAL WARMING ABOUND, it could be the appropriate time for levity. In an unusual reversal, Danielle Small, founder of Microwave Babies theater company, adapted a • Sept. 6 & 8-10 $235 million dystopian epic, Waterworld, into a low-budget musical, staging it in • 7:30 p.m. Tuesday the cozy courtyard of Maison de Macarty and Thursday-Saturday Bed and Breakfast in Bywater. The absurd • Maison de Macarty, premise of the original film is elevated to outrageous in Waterworld: The Aqua-Play.

3820 Burgundy St. Directed by Michael Martin, Waterworld is preceded by a two-hour pool party with a tiki bar, setting the mood for campy caP H O T O B Y R YA N HODGSON-RIGSBEE tastrophe. For a late-afternoon plunge into backyard theatrics, the show is terrific fun.

Narrator Jessa Frymire dramatically opens the show with an environmental message explaining a fantastic scene — several survivors bob and cling to pool rafts and inflatables after the polar ice caps melt and continents submerge. Kevin Costner (Mac Taylor) navigates a ship in search of land, terrain he has never experienced. In this post-apocalyptic world, dirt is as precious as gold. Costner’s sailboat and the hand-operated waves surrounding it, two-dimensional cut-outs designed by artist Ann Zatarain, are positioned in front of a backdrop that appeared to be a sheet stretched between two posts. Sloshing sounds conceived by Jim Fourniadis and visual projections by Eric Sie give the courtyard stage an aquatic effect.

Neither Taylor nor Stoo Odom, who plays Dennis Hopper, make major attempts to imitate the screen actors, instead bringing their own styles to the roles. Taylor, a poet whose most recent acting experience was as Frank N. Furter in the The Rocky Horror Show, vigorously plays the bare-chested hero. Odom previously appeared as Rod Serling in a San Francisco production of The Twilight Zone and is a bassist known for psychedelic rock. Hoping to discover land before Costner does, Hopper declares: “Dry land is not just our destination, it is our destiny.”

Small personifies Costner’s love interest, Jeanne Tripplehorn. Michael Martin’s two characters, an elderly woman and a sea creature, perish within minutes of appearing. NOLA (Christine Rush) is a terrified nymphet about to be sacrificed to the sea.

Throughout the production, techno music composed by Ratty Scurvics provides inspiration for synchronized kicking and robotic dancing choreographed by the Rev. Spooky LeStrange and Jules Ismaname.

The cast also includes Stumps da Clown, Obie Perez, Sam Cammarata, Andrew Ransom Brasher, Mathys Hebert, Ana Mangeaux and Gambit Special Sections Editor Missy Wilkinson.

There is no pretense of great drama, and Waterworld: The Aqua-Play is a fun, cooling diversion from the summer heat that captures the craziness of Bywater.
