SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

California dreaming

“Me and My Girl” FRI.-SUN. MAY 3-19 | Gary Rucker and Kelly Fouchi star in the comedic musical about a British commoner who learns that he belongs to an aristocratic family and is himself an earl. He struggles to adjust to the social demands of his newfound status. At 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts.

Anders Osborne celebrates a new album at a Jazz Fest set and his birthday bash

BY WILL COVIELLO WHILE WRITING SONGS FOR HIS LATEST RELEASE , “Buddha and the

Blues,” Anders Osborne focused on distinct sense of place: Southern California.

“The idea was to connect with all the stuff I grew up on that was created in Southern California in the late ’60s and ’70s,” he says.

That included music by Jackson Browne, the Eagles, Neil Young and James Taylor, among others.

“There was a general atmosphere where rock ’n’ roll took a romantic turn and has lush harmonies,” he says. “It has a fresh approach, not necessarily a muscular approach — a romantic, breezy feel to it. It feels good; it feels familiar like a pair of blue jeans, just a little frayed.”

Osborne released “Buddha and the Blues” April 26, and he’s performing music from it this week at sets at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and at his birthday bash at The Joy Theater May 4. Osborne is a prolific songwriter, and has penned and co-written many songs, including Tim McGraw’s “Watch the Wind Blow By” and tracks on Keb’ Mo’s Grammy Award-winning blues album “Slow Down.” The guitarist’s versatility is on full display this week, as he also performs with the Foundation of Funk and Dead Feat.

“Buddha and the Blues” was recorded in California in December 2017. Osborne was joined by drummer Chad Cromwell, who played drums and produced some tracks on his 2016 album “Flower Box.” For “Buddha,” they enlisted some top session players, some of whom recorded some of the ’70s albums Osborne had in mind. Cromwell also worked on a few records by Young.

The album also features guitarist Waddy Wachtel, who worked with Stevie Nicks, Linda Ronstadt and Keith Richards. Bassist Bob Glaub recorded with Browne and Don Henley.

THU. MAY 2 | Inspired by punk, artrock and ’90s alt-rock bands, Georgia indie rock band Deerhunter doesn’t sound nearly as melancholy as the title of its January release “Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?” or its lead single “Death in Midsummer” might suggest. TIMKOH opens at 8 p.m. at House of Blues.

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats FRI.-SAT. MAY 3-4 | Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats play an Americana mix of rock, blues and folk steeped in classic R&B, soul and Motown.

The Foundation of Funk featuring Joseph Zigaboo Modeliste, George Porter Jr., Ivan Neville, Tony Hall and Anders Osborne opens at 9 p.m. at Saenger Theatre.

Community Records 11th anniversary party

Keyboardist Benmont Tench was an original member of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers and worked with Bob Dylan.

Osborne has called his songwriting a public diary, and some of his albums have addressed recovering from addiction and other difficult subjects. “Buddha and the Blues” sounds like Osborne is in a good place, even if the title track suggests nothing has come too easily.

“The songs are more existential than topical,” says. “It’s not about redemption or drugs or love affairs.

It’s more about acceptance of ‘here it is.’ I’ve lived my life, I’m at this point and everything is great.”

Osborne will play all sorts of music in shows this week. He and Cromwell will be joined by pianist David Torkanowsky and bassist Ron Johnson at Jazz Fest’s Acura Stage at 12:25 p.m. Thursday, May 2. At 10 p.m. Thursday at Republic NOLA, Osborne performs New Orleans rock and songs by the Grateful Dead and Little Feat in Dead Feat, an annual showcase including Little Feat

members Paul Barrere and Kenny Gradney and musicians who performed with the side project bands of Grateful Dead members. Friday May 3, Osborne joins veterans of The Meters in Foundation of Funk at Saenger Theatre. At his birthday bash Saturday, May 4 at The Joy Theater, the lineup includes blues guitarist Samantha Fish, saxophonists Skerik and Brad Walker, guitarist Cris Jacobs and The Hornstars, a horn section that has backed Sturgill Simpson.

After festival dates in early summer, Osborne will go back to the recording studio. This time, he will have his home in mind.

“I’m back in New Orleans,” Osborne says about the project. “There is going to be sawdust on the floor, some grit to it. The stories will all have that.”

SAT. MAY 4 | New Orleans’ Community Records celebrates its 11th anniversary with a block party featuring performances by All People, Slingshot Dakota, Hikes, Pope, Lawn, Sharks’ Teeth, Matt Surfin’ & Friends, Cosmic Dog and others. At 5 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

Jim James SUN. MAY 5 | My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James recorded his 2018 solo album “Uniform Distortion” with a power trio, and he stands out on fuzzy, rollicking lead guitar in a mix of throwback rock. Amo Amo opens at 9 p.m. at The Joy Theater.

Jim Breuer MON. MAY 6 | A veteran of Comedy Central and former cast member of “Saturday Night Live,” where he was known for impressions of Joe Pesci and skits about goth high school students, Jim Breuer focuses on his namesake podcast and performs stand-up comedy. At 8 p.m. at House of Blues.

Antoinette Love, a senior at

the International High School of New Orleans (IHSNO), has been accepted to 115 colleges and universities around the country — and has been offered $3,775,230 in scholarship monies from various colleges. Love, a native New Orleanian, is a member of several honor societies and plans to major in elementary education. She will choose a college in early May.

Darren Rovell, a former

ESPN reporter who now works for Action Network, slammed LSU for putting up a billboard congratulating the college’s gymnastics team for a runner-up finish at the NCAA gymnastics championships. “No, you can’t put up a billboard for coming in second,” Rovell said. He also called the congratulatory billboard a “societal problem.” As a sports reporter, Rovell should realize the real “societal problem” has to do with the notion that coming in first is the only thing worth congratulating.

CANTRELL ON TRAFFIC CAMERA DECISION: ‘IF I COULD HAVE GONE TO ZERO, I WOULD HAVE DONE SO’ IN AN ADDRESS TO THE NEW ORLEANS CITY COUNCIL LAST WEEK, MAYOR LATOYA CANTRELL doubled down on her decision not to

inform the public of the lowering of traffic camera thresholds that would trigger speeding tickets, saying she didn’t want to “advocate” for speeding.

On Feb. 4, the administration changed the speed that would generate traffic tickets in 20 mph school zones — from 26 mph to 24 mph — causing public outcry when thousands of people were ticketed unexpectedly.

Cantrell said she made the decision not to notify motorists of the change because she did not want to encourage them to drive just under the threshold but still over the speed limit, even though the original 26 mph trigger was well-known among residents. “[I] did not want to disclose that because I am not advocating for people to continue to not follow the school zone laws throughout the city of New Orleans,” she said.

In her address to the council’s Budget Committee, Cantrell echoed earlier comments she made that she lowered the thresholds to increase public safety, citing data from traffic camera company American Traffic Solutions (ATS) that showed one in five vehicles passing through New Orleans school zones drive above the speed limit.

Prior to Feb. 4, traffic cameras only ticketed about one-fourth of those drivers, the ones traveling above 26 mph.

District D Councilman Jared Brossett, who chairs the Budget Committee, said he agreed with the goal of increasing public safety but thought the public should have been notified. “Transparency is the utmost top priority,” Brossett said. “If it would have been announced, drivers could have changed their driving patterns, which should have been the goal.”

But Cantrell said that due to the nature of some policies relating to law enforcement, she would not inform the public of every policy she implements. “There will be some decisions that I will not disclose,” Cantrell responded, “for example, where we’re going to have DWI stops throughout the city.”

Last week the krewe — Jefferson Parish’s largest — announced it would stop parading, though it would remain active as a social organization. “I was starting to lose members,” captain Bob Carnesi told WWL-TV, “and to keep my quality like I wanted it, financially you can’t continue, you just can’t, so we decided the best thing to do was to cease operations.” That will leave the Jefferson Parish East Bank with seven traditional parades.

Councilwoman At-Large Helena Moreno said she also thought drivers should have been given some form of notice that the traffic cameras were going to be recalibrated. “You don’t even have to necessarily say at what speed but that they’re going to catch you at a lower speed,” she said.

Cantrell campaigned on removing traffic cameras from the city, though she since has backtracked on her promise of complete removal. Since taking office, she has removed 21 cameras and shortened the length of cameras operating in school zones to four hours from 24 hours.

Following these changes, she decided to crack down on the thousands of residents speeding in school zones daily. “If I could have gone to zero, I would have done so,” Cantrell said. However, the city’s attorney advised her not to lower the threshold below 24 mph to leave a legal cushion to account for camera calibration errors.

“What I would say to our citizens and what I made very clear in not disclosing it (is that) it is unacceptable to speed in school zones throughout the city of New Orleans,” Cantrell said. — KAYLEE POCHE

N BO O ATS .

BOALL OZ E.

After discussing hot-button topics ranging from abortion to the selective service, a state Senate committee narrowly advanced a resolution — by a party-line vote of 4-3 — that would ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in Louisiana.

The decades-old federal amendment, which states no rights shall “be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex,” would explicitly give women legal protections in the U.S. Constitution.

State Sen. JP Morrell, D-New Orleans, said to a packed committee room that he brought forth the resolution after seeing Illinois and Nevada pass the ERA in recent years and after speaking with the late Felicia Kahn, a well-known women’s rights activist in New Orleans, to whom he affectionately referred as “in some cases, a surrogate parent.”

“She expressed that she was proud of me,” Morrell said. “She knew that I was term-limited and that this would be one of my final legacies.”

Chairwoman Karen Carter Peterson, D-New Orleans, who is the only woman on the nine-person Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee, said the resolution was a chance for Louisiana to make a positive change for women in the state and across the country.

“I do recognize — and I hope all of the members recognize — the

importance of this, albeit a long time coming.” Peterson said. “Louisiana can certainly make a huge impact by passing this resolution and helping to ratify the amendment.”

If the resolution passes, it would make Louisiana the 38th state to ratify it and the final state needed to add the amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Possible legal hurdles, however, include an expired 1982 deadline for ratification, and five states that have rescinded their ratification in the years since.

U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Ben Cardin, D-Maryland, have filed a bill that would extend the ratification deadline, but it is unclear what would happen to the states that have rescinded.

Kristie Cross, general counsel for the conservative Louisiana Family Forum, which opposes the amendment in its current form, said she thought the push to extend the ERA was trying to “resurrect something that’s clearly dead. … You end up with ratification roulette when you start playing this game with the deadlines,” she said. Cross also said she didn’t think the amendment was necessary given the 14th Amendment, which prohibits states from denying “anybody from equal protection of the laws.”

But Morrell said the 150-year-old amendment did not prevent women from being denied the right to vote, own credit cards in their name or control property. “History has shown that’s complete B.S.,” he said.

Louisiana State University sophomore Ashley Sheffield said passing the ERA would help encourage women graduating from college to stay in the state. “I’m here and I want to make Louisiana better, but it’s hard for me to want to stay in this state that doesn’t respect me, doesn’t pay me the same amount and doesn’t view me as an equal,” Sheffield said.

Louisiana Right To Life member Mia Bordlee, sitting next to her mother Dorinda Bordlee, a pro-life attorney with the Bioethics Defense Fund, said the organization was against passing the resolution.

Because it has “no abortion-neutral language,” Bordlee argued that passage could lead to some of the state’s current abortion restrictions being struck down in courts.

The abortion argument could be a powerful one as the Legislature continues to advance legislation restricting the procedure. The House Civil Law and Procedure committee earlier advanced a bill by Rep. Katrina Jackson, D-Monroe, that would add language to the constitution stating the state does not protect a woman’s right to have an abortion.

Cross also argued, as ERA opponents did in the 1970s, that passage of the act could lead to women

Green New Deal forum at Mahalia Jackson Theater May 7 An event centered around one of the most-discussed pieces of proposed legislation — the Green New Deal (GND) — will take place at the Mahalia Jackson Theater May 7.

The free public event is hosted

by The Sunrise Movement, a group of young climate change activists that worked on the resolution with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Massachusetts.

Since the GND was proposed in February, the group is hosting events around the country — nine tour stops and more than 100 town halls — to discuss details of the policy with residents as part of its “Green New Deal Tour.”

Political and community leaders will give presentations and guide conversations about the potential impacts of climate change on New Orleans. Organizers also will lay out a game plan for making the GND law in 2021 after the upcoming presidential election.

The GND is a proposal of largescale changes to address climate change that would transform the country’s economy. Goals include switching the country to 100 percent renewable energy sources and transforming existing infrastructure and transportation systems to make

them more energy efficient.

Opponents have labeled the resolution as unrealistic and too expensive, while proponents argue drastic action must be taken quickly to combat climate change, citing a 2018 report from the United Nations saying the world has just 12 years to limit global warming to manageable levels.

Sunrise Movement activists made national headlines when they organized a sit-in at the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with signs reading “We have 12 years. What’s your plan?” Ocasio-Cortez attended the sit-in.

The event is from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Gleason gets commemorative license plate A state House committee last week approved a bill to let Louisiana residents buy Team Gleason Foundation license plates to help patients in their fight against ALS. Steve Gleason was a Saints safety from 2000 to 2008 and was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 2011. He and his wife, Michel, established the Team Gleason Foundation to inspire and show ALS patients they “can not only live but thrive.”

Team Gleason has taken the lead in developing life-enhancing innovations for ALS patients and has challenged Microsoft to craft technology allowing paralyzed individuals to navigate their wheelchairs using their eyes. Microsoft succeeded and went on to integrate eye-tracking technology in Windows 10 products.

In 2014, Gleason and his organization hosted a summit for researchers, patients and caregivers to brainstorm a plan to end ALS in our lifetime. The summit resulted in the formation of Answer ALS, the largest ALS research project in the world.

The highest-ranking Democrat in the Louisiana House of Representatives, Walt Leger III, D-New Orleans, sponsored the license plate bill, which requires a $25 annual fee that will be forwarded to the Team Gleason Foundation. “I’m sure I don’t need to lecture the committee on the impact of Steve Gleason,” Leger said.

The license plate “is a great opportunity to show our appreciation for all he’s done,” Rep. Barbara Norton, D-Shreveport, said.

The House Transportation Committee approved the bill, and it will move to the House floor. — JAMES A. SMITH | MANSHIP SCHOOL NEWS SERVICE

being drafted for military service. “I don’t believe that equality is always sameness,” she said.

Morrell replied, “I will tell you it’s beyond offensive to me, this draft conversation. … The idea that there should be some kind of weird choice based on gender on drafting, that’s ridiculous. Government shouldn’t draft, period.”

Ultimately, the vote was split along party lines with Sens. Morrell, Peterson, Wesley Bishop and Troy Carter — all New Orleans Democrats — voting in favor of the amendment.

Sens. Jack Donahue, R-Mandeville; Jim Fannin, R-Jonesboro; and Mike Walsworth, R-West Monroe, voted against it.

Following the decision, the LA Ratify ERA Coalition released a statement saying that while the passage is “an important first step” in ratifying the ERA, “it is only the first step, and there are many more to be taken in the legislative process.”

“Our constitution starts with ‘We the people,’ and I really just think that should be all the people because if you are not legislating for all the people, who are you legislating for?” said Angela Adkins, the coalition’s founder. “We piecemeal our rights together every year at the Legislature, and we shouldn’t have to do that.” — KAYLEE POCHE

While such bills face long odds of passing, they are worthy of serious consideration.

House Bill 462, by Rep. Cedric Glover, D-Shreveport, would give voters the chance to amend the state constitution to allow cities to call their own elections “to authorize the sale, possession, distribution and use of marijuana.”

House Bill 509, by Rep. John Bagneris, D-New Orleans, would legalize the use and possession of small amounts of pot by people over 21, subject to oversight by the state Board of Pharmacy and the Department of Agriculture and Forestry.

Revenue from taxes on pot would go to education at many levels (K-12 and TOPS), as well as infrastructure and the general fund.

Both bills face major opposition, starting at the top: Gov. John Bel Edwards, who supported the 2015 bill to allow medical marijuana to treat certain conditions, opposes the use of recreational marijuana in any form.

It would reflect the way Americans live now, many of whom are more likely to reach for a joint than a drink.

Lawmakers appear similarly skeptical. Four years after legislators approved it, medicinal cannabidiol, or CBD, has yet to be distributed to Louisiana patients because of regulatory hurdles. The state’s 2015 medical cannabis law specifically outlaws smokable pot and restricts CBD to oils, pills and topical applications. It will be available only via a doctor’s “recommendation” rather than a prescription (a fig leaf designed to protect medical licenses, since marijuana still is illegal at the federal level). Lastly, CBD “recommendations” must be filled by one of only nine state-licensed pharmacy/dispensaries.

There are other hurdles. No recreational pot law will get very far without support from the state’s sheriffs and district attorneys — and

P H OTO B Y V I T E Z S L AV VA L K A

legislators are wary of being seen as pro-drugs this election year.

In that last regard, lawmakers are out of step with their constituents.

A recent statewide survey by LSU’s Manship School of Mass Communication showed 55 percent of respondents support legalizing small amounts of marijuana for personal use. The numbers go up among younger respondents, with 80 percent of adults under 30 in agreement.

More than two-thirds of adults 30 to 49 years old agree. Only people over 65 strongly oppose it.

Legalizing the possession of small amounts of pot for personal use by adults is a smart move on many levels, including fiscally. In 2017, Colorado netted $247 million in marijuana taxes, much of which goes to education. Legalizing small amounts of pot also would free police to concentrate on more serious crimes and eliminate the racial disparity in marijuana arrests. The 2016 FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data show that blacks in Louisiana are almost three times more likely than whites to be arrested on marijuana charges.

On the topic of both medicinal and recreational marijuana use, Louisiana trails many other states. Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and the District of Columbia all reap the benefits of state-regulated recreational marijuana sales. Michigan legalized pot in November 2018 and is expected to start selling it in June.

Louisiana appears unlikely to join them any time soon, which is a shame — for many reasons.

Can long-shot bills do it again?

IN THE LAST TWO ANNUAL SESSIONS OF THE LOUISIANA LEGISLATURE, bills that were

considered long shots somehow managed to become law. In 2017 a package of criminal justice reforms surprised the oddsmakers, and last year the push to end nonunanimous jury verdicts in criminal trials pulled off the upset of the season.

Will this session be the hat trick for underdog bills?

If so, two bills are prime candidates for long shot of the season: • Senate Bill 155 by Sen. Troy Carter, D-New Orleans, is a proposed constitutional amendment setting Louisiana’s minimum wage at $9 an hour, starting in July 2020.

• Senate Concurrent Resolution 2 by Sen. JP Morrell, D-New Orleans, would put Louisiana on record as ratifying the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Carter’s proposed constitutional amendment on the minimum wage requires a two-thirds vote of both legislative chambers — a very tall order — and a majority vote of the people. Carter’s bill would set the statewide referendum on Oct. 12, which is the same date as the elections for governor, statewide officials and legislators. That would make for some very interesting campaign dynamics.

A recent statewide poll by the Public Policy Research Lab of the LSU Manship School of Mass Communication found that 81 percent of Louisianans (including a majority of registered Republicans) support raising the minimum wage to $8.50 an hour. That could give Carter’s bill some traction.

The Senate Committee on Labor and Industrial Relations approved the measure by a 5-1 vote, but it faces an uphill fight on the Senate floor and in the House of Representatives. Business interests have always managed to defeat efforts to raise the minimum wage in Louisiana, which defaults to the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour. Given the fact that so many voters support a higher minimum wage, lawmakers

A DVO C AT E S TA F F P H OTO B Y H I L A RY S C H E I N U K

may be tempted to punt the issue to them. Or not. Either way, the issue won’t go away — and it may become a campaign issue even if it’s not on the October ballot.

Morrell says his resolution to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment is a tribute to the late Felicia Kahn, a longtime women’s advocate who was a big influence on the New Orleans lawmaker. (See, News p.

7.) Morrell is no stranger to long shot bills — he authored and led the charge for the constitutional amendment eliminating nonunanimous jury verdicts in Louisiana last year and helped pass the package of criminal justice reform bills two years ago.

If Morrell can convince his colleagues to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, Louisiana would become the critical 38th state to approve it. However, that doesn’t mean it would become the law of the land. Five states that previously ratified it have revoked their approval, and the deadline for approving the proposed amendment lapsed in 1982 — though an effort is under way to extend it.

Perhaps Morrell could argue that Louisiana’s approval would merely set the stage for others to do the real heavy lifting.

Louisiana lawmakers generally are disinclined to take up controversial measures during election-year sessions. Then again, they were equally disinclined to pass criminal justice reforms or end nonunanimous jury verdicts. Hope springs eternal.

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ Hey Blake,

SHOWS DURING JAZZFEST

With all the times I’ve been to City Hall, I just recently noticed the tall sculpture in Duncan Plaza that honors former Mayor “Chep” Morrison.

Who is the artist and what is the story behind it?

Tue, April 30 Wed, MAy 1 Thu, MAy 2 Fri, MAy 3 SAT, MAy 4

Dear reader,

The 40-foot monument honors Mayor deLesseps Story Morrison, better known as Chep. He was mayor of New Orleans from 1946 until 1961, when he left City Hall to become President John F. Kennedy’s ambassador to the Organization of American States. He and his 7-year-old son Randy died in a plane crash in Mexico in May 1964.

In July 1964, the state Legislature authorized a memorial to Morrison.

Gov. John McKeithen formed a committee, chaired by Capt. Neville Levy, to plan the memorial. The group recommended a $200,000 sculpture and statue of the late mayor as well as a fountain and reflecting pool in Duncan Plaza across from City Hall (which was built during Morrison’s mayoral tenure). Noted sculptor and artist Lin Emery created a fountain and pool featuring nickel silver kinetic sculptures — including aquamobiles resembling birds and dolphins, which moved under the weight of falling water. The memorial was dedicated in October 1966.

Emery also designed the Morrison monument, which is constructed of cast aluminum and topped by a 9-foot-tall statue of the former mayor. “I have envisioned the column as symbolizing not only the height which Mr. Morrison had climbed during his lifetime, but as an indication that he would have climbed even higher had not his tragic death cut short his career,” Emery told The

The statue of former Mayor deLesseps Story “Chep” Morrison stands in front of City Hall, which was constructed during his term.

Times-Picayune in January 1965.

On the sides of the monument are inscriptions related to Morrison’s career as a politician, U.S. Army officer and ambassador. The monument was dedicated on Jan. 18, 1971, which would have been Morrison’s 59th birthday. The ceremony featured McKeithen, Lt. Gov. C.C. “Taddy” Aycock, Mayor Moon Landrieu and future Lt. Gov. Jimmy Fitzmorris, a close Morrison friend who served on the New Orleans City Council while Morrison was mayor. Morrison’s mother and his two surviving children, Corinne and deLesseps Jr. (known as Toni), also attended.

Although the monument remains, the pool and fountain fell into disrepair. Repairs were launched in 1977 but the fountain and reflecting pool were filled in by 1987.

BLAKEVIEW MAY MARKS THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY of a breakthrough in New Orleans broadcasting: the introduction of the city’s first African-American radio disc jockey.

Vernon Winslow, better known as “Doctor Daddy-O,” debuted on WWEZ on May 29, 1949. His daily radio show, sponsored by the Jackson Brewing Co., was called “Jivin’ With Jax.” Advertisements called him “New Orleans’ first sepia disc jockey.”

Winslow moved from Chicago to New Orleans in 1938 to work as an art professor at Dillard University. Although he was hired by WJMR radio, he was not allowed to go on air but instead was instructed to train white broadcasters on how to sound “hip.” He even helped create the popular “Poppa Stoppa” character used by other disc jockeys on the station.

Winslow was fired from WJMR when he broke the rules and spoke on air.

Six months later, he was hired by WWEZ and became even more popular.

He left that station in 1957 for Detroit but returned to New Orleans for jobs on WTPS and WMRY (later known as WYLD), where he began playing gospel music and launched a new phase of his career. He would remain on the air until the 1980s. He died in 1993.

PROPRIETORS “Anyone can be an artist,” according to local attorney, April Watson. She opened The Shard Shop with artist, Mary Hong two years ago. Watson learned about ShardWorx at Hong’s studio while vacationing in Grayton Beach. “I wanted to re-create the feeling that I had on vacation making art in a relaxing, beautiful studio. Now we teach people how to use broken shards of glass to make sparkling art. The best part of my day is seeing people surprise themselves. The technique is fun and forgivable.” Unlike painting, you can move the glass around and play with different glass colors and sizes until you achieve your desired look. The Shard Shop has artists on staff 7 days a week to provide you with as much or as little help as you want. They offer art for sale, classes, workshops, and parties for kids and adults and workshops. “We love people, and to make it affordable for everyone we are now offering Shards and Chardonnay. Adults get 20% off Friday classes after 3 p.m. and a complimentary glass of wine.”

Strictly Salt OWNERS Take a deep breath. Easy?

For many, it is a battle. Nathallie Strickland watched her mother struggle for air with pulmonary fibrosis for years. Hearing of the effectiveness of Halotherapy, the practice of inhaling dry salt aerosol, they traveled out of state and tried it together. Her mother’s energy levels elevated as she experienced greater quality of sleep with soothed and cleared airways.

Halotherapy is proven to decrease inflammation and bacteria in the respiratory system, and Nathallie saw it work first hand. She and her husband Stephen decided to bring the amazing treatments home!

Strictly Salt’s services are not just relaxing. Individuals who regularly attend Halotherapy sessions experience a decrease in mucosal blockages due to Asthma, COPD, and Cystic Fibrosis, a reduction in sinus pressure, and less snoring, resulting in sounder sleep. A solution to skin ailments such as eczema, psoriasis and acne, Halotherapy helps to soothe the inflammation in the skin, calming flare-ups and preventing future flare-ups with regular visits.

Jewel Bunch

Nail Bar Nola PROPRIETRESS Jewel Bunch was a frequent traveler to New Orleans for business and pleasure before founding Nail Bar Nola in late 2018. She perceived that there was a deficiency of high-end nail salons that catered to the discerning customer, both local and traveler, and took advantage of the unique opportunity to fill that void. Jewel chose the New Orleans Arts District as the location for Nail Bar Nola because of her desire to offer original artistic nail designs to customers. Customers enjoy a drink around a bar in a true social environment. She didn’t start Nail Bar Nola alone, but rather recruited a talented team of nail artists to help her bring her vision to reality. One of these, Nethan Nguyen, has created nail designs for movie stars, famous singers, and models from around the world. Nail Bar Nola specializes not only in acrylic nail design, but also offers private sorority, bachelorette, and wedding parties to groups as large as twelve individuals. Come in today and pamper yourself to either a classic, opulent, or decadent package while enjoying a drink around our bar.

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

A

FTER MORE THAN TWO DECADES OF NONSTOP TOURING, RECORDING AND PERFORMING ON SEEMINGLY EVERY STAGE across the state and the U.S., Lost Bayou Ramblers — Louisiana’s Cajun rock ’n’ roll pioneers, imbued with as much tradition as they rely on invention — had decided to take a break.

The band, formed by brothers Louis and Andre Michot when the pair was asked to put together a show for a gig in Lafayette in 1999, pulls from a wide range of Louisiana music and its sympathetic sonics, from two-stepping rhythms and Cajun traditionals to bombastic punk rock and ambient noise pulling from the swampy Southern cosmos.

The brothers Michot grew up playing with their family band, Les Freres Michot, before embarking on the Ramblers’ 20-year whirlwind, now alongside guitarist Johnny Campos, guitarist and electronics maestro Eric Heigle, bassist Bryan Webre and drummer Kirkland Middleton.

The band was set to begin its

hiatus in May 2018. That “break” was set to be a busy one — after a “farewell” tour, there was the premiere of the band’s documentary “On Va Continuer!” and acclaimed nutria documentary “Rodents of Unusual Size,” which the band scored, and scoring the film “Lost Bayou.”

Then the band was nominated for a Best Regional Roots Music Album Grammy for its widely acclaimed 2017 album “Kalenda.” On Jan. 28, 2018, the band took home that award.

The Grammy win came as “a complete shock,” says Louis Michot, the Ramblers’ bandleader, singer and fiddler. (The band later slipped out of the ceremony to toast its win at a nearby pub.)

In the spring, the band emerged from its hiatus to perform several shows, which felt “just like old times,” Michot says. “It was amazing to remember how much energy we put into our live shows. We were exhausted after. It was great.”

Capping off the productive hiatus ahead of its 20th anniversary in September, the band was named

Entertainers of the Year by the Big Easy Awards. It plays the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival Friday, May 3, and honeymoons with Lafayette’s Tommy McLain and C.C. Adcock at d.b.a. Saturday, May 4.

“There’s not much of a beat to miss,” Michot says.

AS A BAND OF WORKING MUSICIANS, the Ramblers were careful to call it a hiatus and not a break, merely a necessary pause from playing onstage as the Ramblers — but not as the Ramblers in disguise.

Andre continued to perform with his Riverbend Ramblers and with Heigle as the Lost Bayou Duo; Campos released the album “Rain on My Face” with his power-pop outfit Carbon Poppies; and Louis Michot released the album “Blood Moon” with his Melody Makers — each project an eccentric spoke in the genre-defying wheel propelling the Ramblers’ powerful sound.

“We’re all professional musicians, which means we can’t really stop working,” Michot says. “It’s been nonstop for everyone. I think it’s

testament to how important the Ramblers is for everyone. Everyone’s got a lot going on all the time, but everyone always makes time to make the Ramblers a priority, their main gig. It’s fulfilling creatively and it’s essential to the survival of a professional musician.”

The band’s spirit of preservation and progression has attracted into its orbit artists ranging from Dr. John and Dickie Landry to Scarlett Johansson, Gordon Gano and Arcade Fire, who brought the band out on tour in 2014. But the band’s heartbeat is on the stage, the “living performance art,” Michot says, that thrives on unique moments and improvised arrangements.

“What we’re lucky for is being able to tour so much in Louisiana,” he says. “That’s amazing, to have so much support here at home, and for people to really get what we’re doing and appreciate what we’re doing with Cajun music.”

What they’re doing is trying to stay ahead of their imagination, “keeping up with [their] own ideas” and taking a “natural step in the evolution of Cajun music,” Michot says.

“Of course it’s such an interesting question — ‘What is tradition?

What is authenticity?’ It’s different to everybody,” he says. “What we see as tradition now, they saw as progression when it was created.

Everything has a first day. Everything we see as tradition now was new at one point.

“I just see us as a continuance of that — naturally letting the influences around that we like ourselves infiltrate our music while keeping true to the form of the music, the language, the rhythms, the instruments.”

That magic largely happens on

the stage, the place that birthed the band. They rarely rehearse; Michot estimates they spent two hours after the end of their hiatus in a rehearsal setting.

“We did it [because we thought], ‘It might be a good idea.’ But man, we just love doing it live,” he says.

“Every show we do something new and interesting that keeps us satisfied and going creatively. … We create live. We make arrangements live. We remember them …

“There’s too much music to perform already, between our original music — we can’t even touch upon it live — and there’s so much traditional music and obscure classics and archival classics. … For us it’s about trying to do it justice, trying to really give these old songs their melodic intricacies, trying to do that justice, and the beauty of the language. …

For our original stuff, we’re always recreating that.”

MICHOT RECENTLY LAUNCHED A RECORD LABEL, Nouveau Electric, as an outlet for exploring the fringes of Cajun music and testing its boundaries, finding there rarely are any. Though the label is “completely separate from the Ramblers universe,” Michot says, it shares the band’s independent spirit. Michot created the label to “help different bands that don’t really have help getting their music out, and to try to also create longevity for all these prolific artists around me that keep doing independent releases.”

“We’re still independent — we put an album out and it’s up to us to keep it going,” he says. “Once you put it out, it’s done. You gotta start on the next project. Nouveau Electric was to try to help give a voice to people creating, whether

it’s in Cajun French or doing eccentric projects around the language, music or people who operate or kind of fit into my musical world that I feel could benefit from the label’s influence and mission.”

This fall, the band will take a rare look backward as it prepares for its 20th anniversary, but Michot sees the next 20 years looking a lot like the last.

“Andre and I have always taken it just one day at a time, one gig at a time,” Michot says. “We’re not ones to go in and rehearse and make big fancy shows. We just do what comes natural. We play the Cajun music we love and we let it grow.

For us, we’re satisfied, year after year, with how our music progresses. It’s not something we have to make a big effort to do. We take it as it comes.”

The War and B Y NATHAN MATTISE

TREATY

IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THE WAR AND TREATY ONLY DEBUTED at

Jazz Fest last year, because the band seems tailor-made for the event. Married couple and vocalists Michael and Tanya Trotter sing a Southern-accented blend of classic R&B, gospel, blues, roots and more, all centered on their powerful, soulful voices playing off one another.

“We were completely in awe being at Jazz Fest — it meant so much to us to think of our heroes that have graced the stage: Fats (Domino), Mahalia Jackson, Irma Thomas,” Michael Trotter says.

“The aftermath was we couldn’t go anywhere without someone saying they saw our Jazz Fest set. The adulation felt so warm and welcoming.”

That performance on the Lagniappe Stage in the paddock of the Fair Grounds Race Course represented the start of a whirlwind year for the duo. With the release of debut album “Healing Tide” in August 2018, The War and Treaty skyrocketed from delightful festival surprise to in-demand Americana act.

Headliners including Mumford & Sons pulled the Trotters on stage for collaborations. The SEC scheduled them to sing the National Anthem at its men’s basketball tournament. Alongside their civil rights hero, U.S. Rep. John Lewis, they led group singalongs during the 2019 anniversary ceremony of the march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.

For a band whose start stems from being deployed in Iraq in the early 2000s (Michael taught himself to play piano from one of Saddam Hussein’s palaces), The War and Treaty have come a long way.

“We’re bringing a little more heat this time,” Michael says.

“We have a bigger band, a little more music.”

As they prepare to revisit cities like New York and Chicago opening for Al Green, the band has started showcasing its organist more, “because the organ carries its own kind of compassion and story and sorrow and triumph,” Michael says. He sees it as a

throwback to artists like Green playing vintage theaters and throwing themselves into emotional performances.

The band recently performed a rock-heavy set at Hogs for the Cause, but Jazz Fest is a good place for it to highlight its more traditional influences.

“One of the impacts New Orleans had on us actually came when we were there to do the second line for Fats Domino,” Michael says. “We looked around and saw all cultures, all manner of people walking the streets playing his music — those brass instruments blazing and blaring. We’re not from New Orleans, but we decided to take a piece with us, and we’ve got some trumpet players and saxophone players [in the band] now.”

to the Acura Stage, and its most recent visit was in 2017, when it kept fans dancing for nearly three hours on a rain-soaked muddy field.

Widespread remains one of the pre-eminent jam bands, and like its predecessors and contemporaries — from the Grateful Dead to Phish — the group has roots in psychedelic music. But Widespread fuses it with danceable Southern rock. Its unique sound has earned the band devoted followers and a vibrant tape-trading scene over its 30-plus years together.

THURSDAY

Billy Iuso & Restless Natives

3L Ifede

LAGNIAPPE STAGE 5:20 P.M.-6:30 P.M. Guitar virtuoso Billy Iuso honed his chops with his band Restless Natives and has performed with everyone from Anders Osborne to Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann. Iuso and Restless Natives released “Home by the Sea” last spring, and it captures his mix of Americana and jam

CONGO SQUARE STAGE 12:45 P.M.-1:35 P.M. CULTURAL EXCHANGE PAVILION 4:00 P.M.-4:45 P.M. Performances by 3L Ifede of Benin combine West African drumming and dance. The troupe includes singing, call and response chanting and traditional and contemporary movement, including acrobatics, in high-energy performances that reflect roots in Yoruban language and culture. The group also performs Friday and Saturday.

Javier Gutierrez & Vivaz!

CULTURAL EXCHANGE PAVILION 1:45 P.M.-2:35 P.M. JAZZ & HERITAGE STAGE 5:45 P.M.-6:45 P.M. Javier Gutierrez & Vivaz! combine big brass lines and intricate percussion meant to keep fans moving in front of the stage — and the group’s members shine in extended solo sections. Gutierrez was born in Bolivia but while living in New Orleans, his father exposed him to everything from traditional Bolivian sounds to opera. Gutierrez sang in choirs, learned classical guitar and explored songwriting that drew upon styles including samba. With Vivaz!, he mixes Latin elements such as Brazilian and Caribbean music with a touch of flamenco, and Gutierrez contributes crisp vocals and guitar picking that seems built equally on rock and classical guitar.

Tonya Boyd-Cannon WWOZ JAZZ TENT 2:15 P.M.-3:20 P.M. New Orleanians likely have heard Tonya Boyd-Cannon’s deep, rich voice.

The soul singer has performed at area festivals and churches, directed choirs at parish schools and prisons and graced Jazz Fest stages as a

backup singer for artists including Jean Knight. In 2015, Boyd-Cannon attracted wider listenership during a lengthy run on the TV talent competition “The Voice,” which included her rendition of “Happy” getting the attention of Pharrell Williams. Her set in the WWOZ Jazz Tent will focus on jazz and likely will include modern pop standards such as her Erykah Badu-esque neo-soul and a touch of ’90s R&B.

Nicholas Payton and The Light Beings WWOZ JAZZ TENT 3:45 P.M.-5 P.M. Multi-instrumentalist and band leader Nicholas Payton is both prolific and difficult to categorize. One show, the New Orleans trumpet virtuoso embraces his hip-hop influences and leads a quartet that includes a DJ for a sound more like De La Soul than Dizzy Gillespie’s band. The next, Payton might stick to his trumpet and put together a set featuring his world-class take on Afro-Caribbean sounds, which he calls “Black American music” rather than jazz. Payton also may spend most of a set at the

keyboards, or play keyboards and a trumpet simultaneously. This set features yet another new project, the Light Beings.

Rita Coolidge GENTILLY STAGE 3:50 P.M.-5 P.M. Rita Coolidge was one of the most prominent backup singers of the ’70s, lending vocal support to icons including Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. Then Coolidge went on to a Grammy Award-winning career of her own. She focused largely on country and blues-leaning pop music and showcased a voice capable of a wide range — from banjo-picking duets with Kris Kristofferson to her own James Bond theme (“All Time High”) for the film “Octopussy.” Her 2018 album “Safe in the Arms of Time,” reflects her country roots, but her setlists can pack hits from across the decades.

band sensibilities. Its best tracks (“It All Begins With You” and “My Name is Record Player”) leave plenty of room for extended guitar solos.

Banu Gibson ECONOMY HALL TENT 5:35 P.M.-6:45 P.M. Banu Gibson is like a musical time machine. The local jazz singer frequently focuses on early 20th-century jazz and songs from the ’20s, ’30s and ’40s by Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Cole Porter and anything from Tin Pan Alley. She has performed with symphonies and had standing performances at Jackie Gleason’s bar.

Tom Jones GENTILLY STAGE 5:40 P.M.-6:55 P.M. With more than 50 years in the business and 40-plus albums to his name, Tom Jones has done a bit of everything. At 78, Jones still possesses the unforgettable wailing baritone heard on classics like “She’s A Lady.” His pitch-perfect, stout, slightly raspy, full-vol-

ume voice still is there on his latest albums. On a trio of releases this decade, he covers songs by genre-spanning artists including Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, Gillian Welch, Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen and John Lee Hooker. Since 2012, he’s served as a coach on the U.K.’s version of “The Voice,” and he mentored last year’s winner. It’s not unusual for him to perform on the show, either coaxed by fellow judges or in duets with contestants decades younger than him.

In case anyone forgot or doubted the voice of the legendary Mavis Staples, the soul singer put out her first live recording in more than a decade this year. “Live in London” makes clear that Staples remains a one-of-a-kind vocalist with immense power and stylistic range.

The album’s press release notes that Staples still performs nearly 200 nights a year.

“Spyboy” was produced by Galactic’s Ben Ellman, and the result is a tight mix of styles, pulled together by intricate rhythmic interplay. Cha Wa performances are a celebration of New Orleans street culture, bringing disparate influences into a cohesive whole.

FRIDAY

The Deslondes LAGNIAPPE STAGE 4:20 P.M.-5:15 P.M. The Deslondes came together as a band in the Holy Cross neighborhood of New Orleans’ 9th Ward, taking its name from a nearby street. But the band’s roots preceded this newest iteration, with three members first meeting at the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival in Oklahoma. Two other members had played in Hurray for the Riff Raff and performed in The Tumbleweeds. As the Deslondes, led by Sam Doores, members pull from a variety of roots music influences, incorporating country, folk, gospel and R&B in original compositions.

The group’s self-titled debut album was released in 2015 on New West Records, and the group followed with “Hurry Home” in 2017.

In her music, she offers her take on traditional Haitian folk songs, sung in Haitian Creole, and New Orleans R&B-inspired pieces, particularly on her latest album, “The Capitalist Blues,” which was produced by Jimmy Horn of King James and the Special Men. While McCalla’s recent work ranges from the upbeat to lushly layered balladry, the common thread is knowledge of and respect for Louisiana culture and musical traditions.

Lost Bayou Ramblers FAIS DO-DO STAGE 2:50 P.M.-3:50 P.M. No Cajun/Creole roots band in recent memory has done more to show that tradition and innovation

can exist simultaneously within the same musical and cultural space.

Hailing from Arnaudville, the Lost Bayou Ramblers continue to bring dance hall-stomping energy and a knowledge of historic repertoire to its performances, while showcasing exquisite instrumental work and Louis Michot’s signature vocals.

The band won a Regional Roots Music Album Grammy Award for 2017’s “Kalenda.” (See “Ramble on,” page 23.)

Cha Wa JAZZ & HERITAGE STAGE 4:15 P.M.-5:20 P.M. With its 2018 album “Spyboy” nominated for a Grammy for Best Regional Roots Music Album, the New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian, brass and funk group Cha Wa has enjoyed a steady rise since

GENTILLY STAGE 4:20 P.M.-5:20 P.M. Afrofuturist saxophone player Kamasi Washington may be best known for his improvisational jams in live performances, but he also can pull back in tightly controlled expressions, as in his outstanding single “Fists of Fury.” The Los Angeles native’s 2015 debut solo recording, “The Epic,” garnered mainstream success, and he has collaborated with a number of high-profile artists since then, including playing saxophone on Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a Butterfly.” In 2018, he released “Heaven and Earth,” which explores the boundaries of jazz.

Washington will be interviewed at 1:30 p.m. at the Allison Miner Music Heritage Stage.

Chris Stapleton ACURA STAGE 5:20 P.M.-7 P.M. Until Jason Isbell officially breaks through to the mainstream, there is no better writer performing in country music radio than Chris Stapleton. He is honest without

being preachy, real without being gimmicky and kind without being naive. The Kentucky native moved to Nashville in 2001 to pursue a music career, and after stints in a number of bands, he signed as a solo artist to Mercury Nashville in 2013. His music is country, but with Southern rock and soul infused throughout his solid songwriting. His 2017 release “From a Room: Volume 2” includes soft balladry and anthemic country rock.

Gary Clark Jr. GENTILLY STAGE 5:45 P.M.-7 P.M. Austin. Texas native Gary Clark Jr.’s 2019 video for his song “This Land,” the title track for his new album, pulls into high relief the musical and cultural aesthetics that are most indicative of his artistry: a mix of Southern soul, hard rock, blues guitar solos and strong melodic lines. But

“This Land” also is informed by a message of social justice and a critique of race and class dynamics in America, a voice that was much less prominent on his past work. While Clark has shared the stage with stars including Eric Clapton, B.B. King and the Rolling Stones, he manages to seem like he’s performing in a small club — he conveys intimate expressiveness while blowing out amplifiers.

CONGO SQUARE STAGE 5:45 P.M.-7 P.M. In 1966, Atlanta native Gladys Knight joined the Motown roster.

A string of hits with the Pips followed, until the act moved to Buddah Records in 1973 and released the No. 1 hit “Midnight Train to Georgia.” Knight’s unforgettable work with the Pips earned the group induction into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 1989, followed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Along with her acting work in television and film, Knight was chosen as one of Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.

Houston native Jesse McBride is a professor in Tulane University’s jazz studies program, and he trains students from Loyola University New Orleans, UNO and NOCCA. Promising students from those programs fill his Next Generation band.

The Soul Rebels ACURA STAGE 12:25 P.M.-1:15 P.M. In a city with many talented brass bands, The Soul Rebels is one of the most flexible ones, often injecting a heavy dose of hip-hop into its sound. The band has collaborated or performed with rappers including Nas, Curren$y, GZA and Talib Kweli and it recently joined Cuba’s Cimafunk to perform and record in New Orleans. This spring, the Rebels are everywhere from New York’s renowned Blue Note jazz club to Bonnaroo, and the band is slated to release its first album in seven years this summer.

Leah Chase WWOZ JAZZ TENT 1:40 P.M.-2:35 P.M. Leah Chase’s voice got her to the Juilliard School arts conservatory in New York, but she left after a year to come home to New Orleans. She has classical training and chops, but her focus is jazz and the freedom the form allows her in performances. The daughter of trumpeter and band leader Edgar “Dooky” Chase and chef and restaurateur Leah Chase, the younger Chase has star power and New Orleans culture in her blood.

Tank and The Bangas ACURA STAGE 1:40 P.M.-2:40 P.M. Tank and the Bangas is a great success story from New Orleans’ experimental music and poetry

scenes. A former slam poet, Tarriona “Tank” Ball now is known for her vocal stylings and theatrics onstage. In 2017, the band won NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest with its nimble, genre-bending song “Quick,” which propelled the group onto national and international stages. The band’s sophomore studio effort, “Green Balloon,” will be released May 3. In early April, it performed the album’s lead single, “Nice Things,” on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.”

The song’s live arrangement showcases the band’s expanded sound as it has grown to a nine-piece, blending soulful grooves, funk and hip-hop.

Alfredo Rodriguez and Pedrito Martinez CULTURAL EXCHANGE PAVILION (WITH CUBAN RUMBEROS) 2 P.M.-3 P.M. WWOZ JAZZ TENT 4:20 P.M.-5:10 P.M. Cuba and its music long have influenced New Orleans’ sounds, but Cuban musicians have been more frequent guests at Jazz Fest since the Caribbean nation was featured

in the in the event’s 2017 Cultural Exchange Pavilion. Havana-born percussionist Pedrito Martinez has lived in New York for years and has recorded with many top jazz musicians. He performed at the festival in 2017 and returns with pianist and singer Alfredo Rodriguez. The two are joined by the drum ensemble Cuban Rumberos for a performance in the Cultural Exchange Pavilion. A set in the WWOZ Jazz Tent features just the duo exploring Afro-Cuban rhythms and jazz. Rodriguez’s chordal, jazzy vocals and Martinez’s intense polyrhythms are sure to shine in both settings.

Jupiter & Okwess CONGO SQUARE STAGE 2:40 P.M.-3:40 P.M. CULTURAL EXCHANGE PAVILION 4:50 P.M.-5:45 P.M. Congolese six-piece band Jupiter & Okwess makes infectiously danceable music with a political bent. Fronted by Jupiter Bokondji Ilola, Okwess (Kibunda for “food”) provides high-energy jams that are rhythmically and harmonically complex. They function as a funky backbone for Jupiter, who sings

Freedia released the EP “3rd Ward Bounce” last year. At Jazz Fest, Freedia and the “shake team” of backup dancers twerk along to rocket-fueled songs such as “Y’all Get Back Now” and “Azz Everywhere.”

Pitbull CONGO SQUARE STAGE 5:40 P.M.-7 P.M. Mr. Worldwide is back for his third performance on Jazz Fest’s Congo Square Stage. The 38year-old Miami mogul has diversified in many directions, especially on the national stage of Latin pop.

His 10th and most recent album, 2017’s “Climate Change,” is as fun

and carefree as the rest of his catalog, despite its heavy title.

Fifteen years into his recording career, he’s at the top of his game, collaborating with artists including Enrique Iglesias, Flo Rida and Jennifer Lopez.

Diana Ross GENTILLY STAGE 5:45 P.M.-7 P.M. Diana Ross rose to fame in the ’60s as a member of The Supremes, Motown’s most successful act and the best-charting girl group of all time with hits including “Baby Love,” “Stop! In the Name of Love,” “You Can’t Hurry Love” and “You Keep Me Hanging On.” With these credentials, Ross could have rested on her laurels in perpetuity after leaving the group in 1970. Instead, she made her own music, releasing 24 solo studio albums and hits like “I’m Coming Out.” Some of those hits have spawned remixes now topping dance club charts.

next generation of musicians to play the music and traditions of New Orleans jazz when its future seemed to be in jeopardy. Within a few years, however, the band became so in demand, thanks to its throngs of young talent (including Darryl Adams, Anthony “Tuba Fats” Lacen, Michael White, Herlin Riley, Shannon Powell and Branford and Wynton Marsalis, among others) that the local musicians’ union urged Barker to discontinue the project out of concern for union members’ gigs. The band broke up, but it already had built a solid foundation for the next wave of contemporary New Orleans brass band music and groups including the Hurricane, Tornado, Dirty Dozen and Rebirth brass bands.

Davell Crawford will perform in the Gospel Soul Children anniversary celebration in the Gospel Tent.

SUNDAY

A Tribute to Aldus Roger, featuring Jimmy Breaux, Johnny Sonnier and the New Lafayette Playboys FAIS DO-DO STAGE 11:15 A.M.-12:05 P.M. Steel guitarist, singer and accordionist Johnny Sonnier and former BeauSoleil accordionist Jimmy Breaux recently teamed up to record a tribute album to the charismatic late “King of the French Accordion,” Aldus Roger, whose Saturday KLFY-TV show made him a household name in Acadiana from the mid-’50s through the ’60s. Sonnier — an accordionist who briefly played drums in Roger’s band as a teenager — handles steel guitar and vocal duties on the album, which the pair recorded with Damian Brasseaux (drums), Joshua Richard (fiddle) and Rick Benoit (bass) in Benoit’s outdoor kitchen. The group’s exploration of Roger’s vintage dancehall sounds ranges from his Western swingtinged Cajun French riff on the Hank Williams tune “Jambalaya” to waltzes written by Roger that have become Cajun standards.

New Orleans Gospel Soul Children 50th anniversary celebration GOSPEL TENT NOON-12:45 P.M. Jazz Fest is not alone in notching a golden anniversary. Founded by the late choir director Albert S.

The choir’s anniversary celebration features alumni including Davell Crawford and award-winning McDonough 35 Senior High School Choral Director

Jupiter & Okwess CONGO SQUARE STAGE 12:30 P.M.-1:30 P.M. CULTURAL EXCHANGE PAVILION 3:05 P.M.-4:05 P.M. Tweaky funk grooves, Congolese rumba and an insistent pulse of punk-laced energy drive the material on “Kin Sonic,” the latest release from this long-running African rock outfit. Frontman Jupiter Bokondji hails from Kinshasa, and his formative years included stints in Tanzania and East Germany, but his home and life in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is inextricable from his songs, most of which are rooted in hope for a more just future and a sense of urgency that transcends language barriers.

John Hammond BLUES TENT 1:30 P.M.-2:30 P.M. Despite his Blues Hall of Fame induction, early Greenwich Village

GENTILLY STAGE 2 P.M.-3:10 P.M. Most of the multiple incarnations of Bill Payne and the late Lowell George’s bluesy, ambling rockjazz-country hybrid would have made great fits for Jazz Fest, given the group’s ability to comfortably indulge a hodgepodge of stylistic influences. (Drug reference-laced humor probably didn’t hurt the band’s appeal.) Today’s iteration of the

folk scene and rock world jaunts and collaborative friendships with the likes of Tom Waits, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, John Hammond remains an underrated guitar slinger. Hammond’s range of mellow to zingy fretwork — not to mention his fire-stoked blues harp sound— is the real deal, shining what’s now a rare light on the ties that bind ’60s American folk music to the blues revival of the same era. Keep an ear out for highlights from “Triumverate,” his 1973 album with Dr. John and Mike Bloomfield, Waits’ tunes that Hammond ripped through on 2001’s “Wicked Grin” and detours from his go-to acoustic blues into electric guitar, which he also handles with dexterity and grace.

fusion heroes seems poised to shine a light on the creative possibilities built into jazz-rock amalgams and what eventually dovetailed into “jam band” music, thanks to conga and djembe player Sam Clayton, guitarist Paul Barrere, Baton Rouge native/bassist Kenny Gradney and all the space the group leaves for extended solos that somehow feel organic. Payne and Barrere discuss the band at the Allison Miner Music Heritage Stage at 4:30 p.m.

Chaka Khan CONGO SQUARE 3:25 P.M.-4:40 P.M. After Prince’s death in 2016, his longtime friend and collaborator Chaka Khan announced she was checking into rehab for an addiction to pain pills. Three years later, the former Rufus lead singer, who put her loose, funk-drenched phrasing and agile range on full display in her career-defining 1984 cover of Prince’s “I Feel For You” — is back on the road in support of “Hello, Happiness,” her first studio album in 12 years. Like her extended performance of the gospel song “Goin’ Up Yonder” at Aretha Franklin’s funeral, the album has its shaky moments but ultimately showcases the voice and charisma of a singer who’s more than earned her title as Queen of Funk.

Herbie Hancock WWOZ JAZZ TENT 5:30 P.M.-7 P.M. Depending on who you ask — or which of the many versions of Herbie Hancock you prefer — the jazz and funk icon’s 2016 Jazz Tent duo performance with his old Miles Davis Quintet partner Wayne Shorter was either brilliant or boring. But sparking controversy and defying expectations is Hancock’s thing, as he’s proved over the course of many decades by darting gleefully between the boundaries of cerebral modern jazz, ’60s-influenced improvisational meanderings, thick funk and sunny pop, among other things. Hancock returns to the Fair Grounds amid a lot of buzz about a new album he’s said he’s recording with his new band, which includes Terrace Martin (who produced Kendrick Lamar’s “How To Pimp a Butterfly”), the inventive guitarist Lionel Loueke (a member of Terence Blanchard’s “Magnetic” ensemble), “Saturday Night Live” bassist James Genus and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta. In interviews, Hancock has hinted he’s recruited Kamasi Washington for the new album. Washington performs at Jazz Fest Friday and is scheduled for evening concerts at the Joy Theater. The pair also share a double bill on a North American tour this summer.

FOR MANY ATTENDEES at the New

Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (www.nojazzfest.com), the food is as much a draw as the music. Popular dishes like the cochon de lait poboy, oyster patties, crawfish bread and mango freezes are back this year, and there are some new items as well.

Sofia serves Italian cuisine in the Warehouse District

BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund IN A CITY WITH NO SHORTAGE OF ITALIAN DINING, Sofia, a new restau-

rant in the Warehouse District, offers a slightly different take on the cuisine.

Many of its dishes seem worlds away from the Creole-Italian standbys that populate this town. Sofia’s dishes are lighter and less confined by tradition, and executive chef Talia Diele’s plates come across as thoughtful and restrained. The menu isn’t regionally specific, and instead runs the gamut from wood-fired pizzas and vegetable-focused starters to pastas and salads.

A group endeavor from local restaurateur Billy Blatty and the Denver-based Culinary Creative Group, the spot opened in late January in a busy pocket of the Warehouse District that has seen several restaurant openings in the past year.

During the daytime, Sofia’s modern design is bright and airy, and dining is more casual. At night, the space feels more sultry and cosmopolitan.

The large, open dining room has a long marble-topped bar, making it a welcoming spot for single diners as well as large parties.

At lunchtime, pillowy hunks of burrata are served with thick ribbons of prosciutto, orange and grapefruit segments and a seed-heavy savory granola, which adds a nice salty crunch. A garlicky green goddess dressing paints the plate and pea shoots top the colorful medley — a beautiful and delicious dish.

Many of the antipasti are substantial and easily shareable. The Brassica plate includes charred broccoli florets and Brussels sprouts tossed in an earthy brown butter vinaigrette. Also

good is a decadent blue crab risotto made creamy with mascarpone, tempered with bursts of citrus and decorated with sorrel leaves. The dish might be a bit much on its own, but it works wonderfully as a shared course when paired with lighter dishes.

Carne crudo, made with a Creekstone Farms eye of round, is dressed with an umami-rich anchovy dressing while puffed rice adds texture. The dish is flavorful but heavy.

Puffy, charred piata bread arrives glistening and steaming from the restaurant’s wood-burning oven.

From the same oven comes a line of pizzas. Crusts are chewy and pliable, pockmarked by a few charred bubbles but not overly crisped.

Stracciatella forms the base of the Signore Bianco pie, a medley of Grana Padano cheese and creamed leeks. A shower of red onions, briny green onions, Fresno chilies and fennel pollen saves what could have come off as one-dimensional flavor.

The peppers add a bit of heat, and a couple of drops of the house chili oil add extra zing.

For dessert, look no further than the torta, a buttery, dense and crumbly pistachio cake topped with fresh strawberries and wisps of Greek yogurt espuma. Like so many of the dishes here, the dessert is an example of the kitchen’s affinity for letting a few ingredients shine.

Sofia offers a modern and light take on Italian cooking that gives diners a different taste of the time-honored cuisine.

Akhtar Nawab Chef/ restaurateur CHEF AND RESTAURATEUR AKHTAR NAWAB (www.akhtar-

nawab.com) has restaurants in New York City and Birmingham, Alabama. Last month, he opened a Mexican restaurant, Otra Vez (1001 Julia St. 504354-8194; www.otraveznola. com), in the Warehouse District.

It has a menu of creative takes on regional Mexican dishes and tacos, Indian-style roti and margaritas are available from a service window called ACTQ. Nawab spoke to Gambit about his culinary influences.

What led you to open a restaurant in New Orleans?

NAWAB: Originally, we were contacted by the Domain Companies (a real estate development company), but my business partner had made a few trips down there and told me about the (development).

Really, I just like it down there. …

There’s a lot of character to the city.

(Coming from Kentucky) I think I’m just eternally comfortable in those environments. There is a truth to Southern hospitality, and I think you have to live there to understand it. It’s something that I think is nourishing to me. Even Louisville isn’t the Deep South, it’s more mid-South, but they consider themselves part of the South.

What drew you to Mexican cooking?

in Mexican cooking that has 25 ingredients and cooks all day long.

I found similarities in how those dishes are made. I found several ingredient parallels, whether it was with sweet spices like cinnamon in savory food or cloves in savory food. I found earthy things like cumin or chilies in savory food.

I found that interesting because Kashmiri food has a lot of that sweet and savory combination.

What has been your biggest culinary influence?

N: For a person, it would be my mother. My mom’s a really good cook. She doesn’t eat meat and she prepared meat for us our whole lives, and it always surprised me how precise she was with flavors.

As far as other people, the chef I worked for in San Francisco for many years, Loretta Keller — who worked for Susan Spicer in her younger years — was a very influential person and we remain very close. She taught me about flavors and treating them properly and the importance of ingredients. I still run a lot of things by her.

For places, I have been fortunate to move around and travel.

There is one trip I took when I was at a cooking school in Sicily with Loretta: When I landed, we were driving around and I stopped by this beach town called Mondello.

This was the first place I had pasta con ricci, which is a sea urchin pasta with chilies and lemon. I don’t know if I’ve ever had anything more flavorful. It was a very unknown thing in New York at the time. It was one of those experiences that you could never have again. — HELEN FREUND

N: At first I was really timid about (cooking Mexican dishes).

I became more comfortable with the ingredients and I started finding certain parallels between Indian food and Mexican food that made it feel more familiar. All these years later, I’ve grown very passionate about it.

What I think about Mexican, Indian and other cultures that maybe don’t always have a lot to eat is that they really celebrate food in a different way. It’s a very special time among family and friends. People really do slave over the stove when they make some of these things. A korma is a combination of many ingredients in Indian cooking. I relate it to a mole

ROBERT GLASPER IS A GIANT OF CONTEMPORARY JAZZ. Raised in Texas, Glasper learned to play piano in church and combined gospel harmonies with the jazz he heard his mother sing in clubs. He attended The New School in New York and backed masters including Terence Blanchard and Roy Hargrove. In 2004, Glasper released his debut album, “Mood,” and went on to release eight more, two of which — “Black Radio” and “Black Radio 2” — won Grammy Awards. Glasper produced the compilation soundtrack to the Miles Davis biopic “Miles Ahead,” which also earned a Grammy Award.

Glasper is a terrific pianist, but one of his greatest gifts is his ability to collaborate with artists outside the jazz world. He’s worked with Q-Tip, Kanye West, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, J Dilla, Erykah Badu and others. He contributed heavily to Kendrick Lamar’s 2015 release “To Pimp a Butterfly,” a crowning example of jazz and hip-hop fusion.

Glasper’s open-minded outlook and his willingness to stay in the pocket of a groove make him an exceptional talent and a pleasure to watch.

Robert Glasper performs shows at 10 p.m. Thursday, May 2, and 2 a.m. Friday, May 3, at One Eyed Jacks, 615 Toulouse St., (504) 569-8361; www.oneeyedjacks.net.

Tickets $35.

GOING OUT REVIEW Woodrow Nash and Delita Martin

BY D. ERIC BOOKHARDT CREOLE CULTURE HAS COME TO BE VIEWED as a dynamic, ever-evolving hybrid of shared African, Native American and European roots. We see this in New Orleans and wherever those roots were woven into new forms of art, music or cuisine. At Angela King Gallery, Woodrow Nash’s vividly glazed, deep-hued clay figures celebrate Africa’s people and cultures in a style that harks to diverse influences ranging from 15th-century tribal Benin to 19th-century French art nouveau. The turquoise blue face of Nash’s female P H OTO B Y J A S O N E DWA R D S figure, “Erunzigera” (pictured), recalls an unusually lifelike tribal mask, but its deep, almond-shaped eye slits evoke an oracle rendered sightless from having seen too much. Hints of Henri Matisse’s vibrant formalism mingle with echoes of Caribbean poet Derek Walcott’s ghostly narrators recalling being ripped from mother Africa only to end up lost in azure Antillean seas.

In some tribal African cultures, animal masks play a major role, but here a female figure, “Thema,” appears in full zebra mode, with pale pearlescent stripes that match her cowry shell necklace against her ebony skin. Blue moods also are featured in an imposing male figure, a warrior with ornate striations etched into his indigo flesh. In these works, Nash synthesizes tribal African motifs with global design appeal to return us to the primal essence of a rapidly vanishing world.

Delita Martin’s new work at Stella Jones Gallery continues her visual interpretations of everyday women, who she portrays amid fantastical tropical patterning. Employing layers of print, painting and collage, Martin, who is inspired by women who have been marginalized, transforms prosaic personalities so they appear as elegant elements integral to the natural order, as in works like “Under the Evening Moon,” in which a young black woman with extravagant, otherworldly braids appears amid paisley starbursts and spiral mandalas. They might be sunspots around a woman at a bus stop, or they might be reflections of the inner life of someone one might not ordinarily notice. Both shows run through May.
