“Some interesting things to consider when making a decision on a vehicle.....

Does your dealership open early at 7 am for service and is even open on Saturdays???

Do they wash your vehicle every time it’s serviced?

Is there a complimentary shuttle service? Or even loaner vehicles?

And…. My favorite…. When you arrive you know there are always complimentary refreshments for customers?

This dedication to customer satisfaction can always be found at”……

seven things to do in seven days

The King Khan & BBQ Show Tue. April 23 | Ex-Spaceshits, Shrines, Almighty Defenders and on-off bandmates King Khan and BBQ could be credited with the widespread trend of fusing mid-century pop songs with punk-rock production values — their selftitled 2005 debut came first and is twice as fun.

Or they could be committed. The Delusionaires and Heavy Lids open at Siberia. PAGE 76.

Jimbo Mathus Thu. April 25 | After a detour with North Carolina’s retro-swinging Squirrel Nut Zippers, Jimbo Mathus returned to his native Mississippi and dug deeper into old blues styles. In January, he and The Tri-State Coalition released White Buffalo, which offers folk blues standouts like opener “In the Garden.” At Chickie Wah Wah. PAGE 76.

Jazz jam with Stanton Moore, Marco Benevento and Omaha Diner Sat. April 27 | A series of jazz jams features revolving arrangements of musicians. The whole ensemble features guitarist Charlie Hunter, saxophonist Skerik, drummer Stanton Moore, pianist Marco Benevento, trumpeter Steven Bernstein and drummer Bobby Previte. There also is a set by Moore and Benevento and one

by Omaha Diner (Hunter, Skerik, Bernstein and Previte). At Blue Nile. PAGE 76.

APRIL

MAY

New Orleans Puppet Festival | The festival includes giant puppets, marionettes and rod and shadow puppets in shows by local and visiting troupes including Harry Mayronne, Mudlark Puppeteers, Puppetkabob, Toybox Theatre and Cripps Puppets. There are family-friendly shows at the Marigny Opera House and adults-only late-night shows at the Mudlark Public Theatre. PAGE 88.

Youth Lagoon Sat. April 27 | In his sophomore follow-up to 2011’s The Year of Hibernation, Trevor Powers (aka psychedelic pop hypnotist Youth Lagoon) released this year’s kaleidoscopic mind warp Wondrous Bughouse (Fat Possum). The funhouse-mirror headphone album (and fullband live setup) elevates the idea of “bedroom pop.” With Majical Cloudz at One Eyed Jacks.

PAGE 76.

Foals with Surfer Blood Sun. April 28 | Pixies-dusted Florida rockers Surfer Blood and English tempo technicians Foals team up to tour two of the year’s more ambitious albums: Pythons (Warner Bros.) and Holy Fire (Sub Pop), respectively. Blondfire opens at House of Blues. PAGE 76.

Gambit > bestofneworleans.com > aPRiL 23 > 2013

Dumpstaphunk and Rebirth Brass Band Fri. April 26 | Funk and brass bands cover the classics in a night of tributes. Dumpstaphunk plays the music of Parliament Funkadelic, Rebirth plays Michael Jackson songs and New Orleans Soul Stars perform James Brown tunes. At the Howlin’ Wolf. PAGE 76.

Meet the monitors

The search for a monitor to oversee the NOPD federal consent decree has narrowed to two firms — but the city and the Justice Department can’t agree on the winner.

Key team members: • Monitor Terry Hillard was the superintendent of the Chicago Police Department from 1998 to 2003 and served as interim superintendent in 2011. He worked for the department for more than 30 years.

• Deputy monitor Kathleen O’Toole was the Boston Police Department’s first female commissioner, a post she held from 2004 to 2006. Prior to that she was the secretary of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety. In 2006 she was appointed to head the governance and oversight body for the Irish national police force.

Steven Rick,

By Charles Maldonado 10-member committee — made up of five representatives from City Hall and five from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) — began meeting in the Superdome in early March to select a firm that will monitor the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) under the recently enacted federal consent decree. Hiring the monitor may not seem as important as the nuts and bolts of the decree itself, but in many ways, the monitor is the most important piece of the puzzle.

The monitor’s contract is worth at least $7 million over four years — one of the city’s biggest expenses for implementing the consent decree — and the winning firm will help determine whether the consent decree is working as promised.

Equally important, the monitor will determine whether NOPD is making required progress on schedule, which is a key component in deciding when federal oversight can end. A federal judge ultimately will make those decisions, but the judge likely will give great weight to compliance reviews and interviews the monitor conducts with citizens.

Last week, the selection committee held its penultimate meeting. It’s down to two contractors (from 12 in March); committee members were unable to agree on one. The city favors the Chicago-based consulting firm Hillard Heintze. The DOJ’s pick is Los Angeles-based international law firm Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton.

At last week’s meeting, it did not appear that either side was likely to budge. If they can’t decide by the final meeting on April 30, U.S. District Court Judge Susie Morgan will choose one of the firms. Here’s a look at each.

But perhaps the most important PHOTO COURTESY HILLARD HEINTzE factor is the price. The firm’s cap is just above $7 million for four years, compared to an $8.9 million cap for competing firm Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton. What’s more, the city will get more work for less money. Hillard Heintze estimates its staff will work 34,958 hours over four years, nearly 10,000 more work hours than Sheppard Mullin’s 25,040 hours estimate. page 11

Weaknesses: Hillard Heintze has no experience monitoring a federal police consent decree. The firm’s initial bid, submitted last fall, included two team members who were involved in the Cincinnati Police Department’s 2002-2007 consent decree: former Cincinnati Police Chief Tom Streicher and American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio attorney Scott Greenwood. Greenwood and Streicher are no longer with the firm. The DOJ also was concerned that the Hillard Heintze team lacked civil rights law experience.

Potential conflicts: A letter written by local civil rights attorney Bill Quigley on behalf of the citizens’ group Community United for Change (CUC) accuses Hillard Heintze of employing locals with close ties to a city administration that hopes to get out of the consent decree altogether.

Quigley’s letter was submitted last week and read aloud at the committee meeting. Moreover, members of the DOJ’s selection team said they were troubled by certain “controversial” Hillard Heintze team members.

The “controversial” people in question are First Emanuel Baptist Church pastor The Rev. Charles J. Southall III — special counsel to proposed monitor Terry Hillard — and Tulane University criminologist Peter Scharf — a “strategic advisor” for the firm.

The CUC letter points out that Southall gave the invocation during Landrieu’s 2010 inauguration. One of his businesses, the Gaskin Southall Gordon & Gordon Mortuary, received a $1,000 donation from Landrieu’s campaign fund last year to “help bury a victim of a police shooting,” the letter says. Finally, it notes that Southall gave $4,600 to the campaign of Landrieu’s sister, U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu. “Rev. Southall may well be a wonderful minister, but he is hardly independent of the mayor whose NOPD he is supposed to be able to independently monitor,” reads the CUC letter.

Scharf’s name comes up in Quigley’s letter and Hillard Heintze’s correspondence with the city. According to the firm’s disclosures, Scharf met with Deputy Mayor Judy Reese Morse twice following Landrieu’s unsuccessful 2006 mayoral bid against Ray Nagin to help revise Landrieu’s criminal justice strategy. Morse — a member of the monitor selection committee — was working as then-Lt. Gov. Landrieu’s chief of staff. She has the same position under Landrieu at City Hall.

In 2010, after Landrieu’s election but prior to his inauguration, Scharf was on his transition team’s criminal justice task force.

Scharf has since served on the re-entry task force for Landrieu’s murder reduction initiative.

“CUC views him as not committed enough to a tough, independent monitor capable of challenging the deep problems at the NOPD,” the letter says. “Professor Scharf may well be a respected academic, but CUC concludes that he, like Rev. Southall, is not independent enough of the mayor…”

The letter also refers to “The Perils of Police Reform,” an October 2012 article Scharf authored for the investigative news website The Crime Report (www.thecrimereport.org), expressing worry that the decree could lead to a reduction in experienced officers, resulting from low morale or lack of sufficient funding.

Though Southall may have contributed money to Mary Landrieu, the senator is not a part of Mitch Landrieu’s administration. State campaign finance records show that Southall has never donated a dime to the mayor’s campaigns.

The $1,000 from Landrieu’s campaign to Southall’s mortuary was to help cover funeral expenses for Wendell Allen, the 20-year-old man shot and killed by a New Orleans Police officer last year during a drug raid on a Gentilly home. (Allen, who was not the target of the raid, was unarmed at the time he was killed by police.)

Meanwhile, Scharf’s Crime Report article could very well be presented as evidence for the opposing view. Scharf takes pains to acknowledge the NOPD’s many longstanding problems, including corruption and ineffectiveness. The article “criticizes” the consent decree by asking if reform of the NOPD is possible without, among other things, “buy in” from rank-and-file officers. And Landrieu himself might disagree with the characterization of his and Scharf’s relationship. Just last year, Scharf, working with the Police Associapage 12

tion of New Orleans, released a police job satisfaction survey that was highly critical of the NOPD under Serpas and Landrieu.

What the city says: Assistant City Attorney Erica Beck: “The city believes strongly that the monitoring team should be headed by a police chief” rather than “lawyers arguing about the legal technicalities of the document.”

Chief Administrative Officer Andy Kopplin: “There’s a fifth year for Hillard Heintze for the same price as four years of Sheppard Mullin.”

What the DOJ says: Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Parker: “They have no monitoring experience. And this is the largest, most complex police consent decree in the Justice Department’s history.”

DOJ Civil Rights Division trial attorney Emily Gunston: “We think it’s really important that the contractor will be, and will be seen as, independent from both parties. …

We heard concerns [about Hillard Heintze’s local advisors] from a broad swath of stakeholders.”

What the public says: During the public comment portion of last week’s meeting, speakers were mostly opposed to the city’s choice for monitor, with many focusing on its local representation.

“There’s a lot to be desired in both,” said Danatus King, president of the New Orleans chapter of the NAACP. “But the community had no confidence in the local representatives identified by Hillard Heintze.”

Civil rights attorney Mary Howell questioned Hillard’s record on police civil rights, asking about hundreds of cases of torture under Chicago police detective Jon Burge from the 1970s to the 1990s. Burge was fired in 1993. Meanwhile, investigations into convicted criminals whose confessions might have been forced continued.

In 1998, Thomas Needham, then Hillard’s general counsel, discovered that internal police investigators sustained a number of torture allegations. Needham reversed the ruling. “Where did he stand during the Chicago police torture cases?” Howell said.

According to a report by the Chicago Tribune, Hillard testified in 1999 that he knew nothing about the evidence contained in the reports.

ShepparD Mullin richter & haMptOn Law firm Los Angeles the offer: $7,880,786.25 four-year estimate; $8.9 million fouryear cap Key team members: • Monitor Jonathan Aronie is a partner in the Sheppard law firm, working in its government contract and internal investigations practice. According to his submitted biography, Aronie has conducted “countless complex internal investigations” and implemented compliance programs for major corporate clients. Aronie also served as deputy monitor over the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department during its 2002 to 2008 consent decree.

• Lead police practices expert and primary monitor Dennis Nowicki is the former chief of the CharlotteMecklenburg, N.C., Police Department. Nowicki also served as chief of the Joliet, Ill., Police Department.

He was a Chicago police officer for 26 years. Nowicki was part of the monitoring team in Washington, D.C., and worked on the original monitoring team for a consent decree still in place over the U.S. Virgin Islands Police Department.

Strengths: The firm has significant consent-decree experience.

Aronie worked as deputy monitor in Washington. Former U.S. Attorney Peter Morris, a member of the Sheppard Mullin legal team, monitored the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for discriminatory hiring practices under a consent decree. Robert McNeilly, another member of Sheppard Mullin’s proposed NOPD monitoring team, was the chief of the Pittsburgh Police Department while it was under a consent decree from 1997 to 2002.

Unlike Hillard Heintze, Sheppard Mullin is a law firm, so it does not lack legal experience.

Weaknesses: Even Sheppard Mullin’s supporters, including the DOJ and CUC, point out that the firm has yet to identify and cultivate relationships with locals. “Sheppard has yet to create a robust community component,” Quigley’s letter reads. “It needs to do serious work in that area in order to have a realistic chance of being effective as a monitor of the NOPD.” Then there’s the price. The firm’s four-year estimate is nearly $900,000 above Hillard Heintze’s $7 million maximum price tag. And Sheppard Mullin’s four-year maximum is $8.9 million. potential conflicts: The one member of the Sheppard Mullin team whose name came up frequently was Theron Bowman. In 2010 and 2011, Bowman worked under Deputy Assistant U.S. Attorney General Roy Austin, who headed the investigation of the NOPD that led to the consent decree, from which the city is now hoping to extract itself. Sheppard Mullin even listed Austin, who is now on the selection committee, as a reference.

Kopplin also was concerned that Bowman’s full-time job as a deputy city manager of Arlington, Texas, would get in the way of his monitor duties.

Bowman is not the only one who worked on the NOPD investigation. So did Ellen Scrivner, former deputy director of the National Institute of Justice, now part of Hillard Heintze’s team. In any case, City Hall initially asked for and, until very recently, endorsed the DOJ investigation.

What the city says: Kopplin, who didn’t buy the DOJ’s position that extensive legal experience trumped police management experience: “It seems to suggest that the job of running a monitoring team is bigger than the job of running a police department.”

What the DOJ says: Parker: “They’re well-equipped to carry out the provisions of the consent decree, precisely because they’ve done them all before.”

What the public says: The Rev. Patrick Keen of Bethlehem Lutheran Church said the Pittsburgh decree, enacted under Nowicki’s leadership, appears to have been a failure in the long term. The department is one of the most troubled in the country, with recent federal investigations for misuse of funds, a March public corruption indictment of another former chief and a brewing corruption scandal over the department’s off-duty detail system, which is similar to the detail reform proposal for NOPD details under the consent decree here.

Most speakers, however, were either supportive of the firm or dismissive of the city’s pick. Addressing the price issue, W.C. Johnson of CUC said it shouldn’t matter.

“We want constitutional policing in this city at any and all costs. We don’t want a rush job,” he said.

All this is predicated on the expectation that the city’s attempts to void the consent decree will fail. Attorneys for the city filed an unsuccessful motion to vacate the agreement in late January and are appealing to the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Meanwhile, the city is bound by court order to participate in the selection process.

hose leading the life-and-death struggle to keep southeast Louisiana from being swallowed by the Gulf of Mexico have for decades trumpeted a battle cry: “Put the river back into the marsh.” The thinking is that the Mississippi River should be allowed to build new land, just as it did for millennia before flooding was controlled. But what if pollutants in the river’s fresh water kill the marsh before those sediments can do good?

Dissenters who posed this question have been treated as outliers, if not obstructionists. Now a pair of reports gives that question new relevance.

A nine-year project in New england showed that fertilizer-based pollutants carried in the Mississippi River led to the collapse of salt marshes dominated by a plant species that is a signature of much of Louisiana’s southeast coast.

A review of research on Louisiana’s freshwater diversions by a panel of experts from outside the state concluded they could find no solid evidence the diversion projects improved adjacent wetlands, but found evidence they might hurt them.

The study suggested that the state’s Coastal Master Plan, built around large sediment diversions, may be forging ahead while blind to the potential dangers in the river water.

The reports provide new ammunition to diversion opponents who argue for other methods of coastal restoration — and to scientists pushing for more research before water from the Mississippi River is released on the wetlands. Garret Graves, head of the state’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, however, is having none of it. He dismissed the latest findings as too little, too late to apply to the state’s Master Plan. with coastal Louisiana facing a death sentence of sea-level rise and subsidence, Graves invoked Donald Rumsfeld, arguing the state has to fight with the science it has, not the science it would like to have.

“Look, if we were on a sustainable posture right now, sure, maybe we could spend a few more years and spend tens or hundreds of millions of dollars trying to perfect the science, but considering where we are in Louisiana, you have to take some risks,” Graves said. “we are going to screw up sometimes, but the consequences of doing nothing are extraordinary,” he said. “it is simply not an option for us to sit back and wait” for more studies.

Further, Graves said, the land being built at the mouth of the Atchafalaya River with water from the Mississippi River shows that diversions work.

“That’s a diversion that is working perfectly, and we need to replicate it,” he said.

River diversions have long been the great paradox of coastal rebuilding efforts — and the most important, yet contentious element. Primary opposition has come from fishing interests who fear their target species would be pushed out of interior bays to the edges of the Gulf of Mexico. instead, that group supports “slurry pipelines,” which use suction dredges to mine sediment from rivers and offshore locations, mix it with water and pump into sinking basins. That technique has been used to build as much as 400 acres of land in as little as three months. But while the pipelines are a major component of the Master Plan, coastal authority research concluded that large diversions had two critical advantages: They built land at a much cheaper cost per acre and, once set up, they could continue building land as long as the river flows.

But for some diversion opponents in st. Bernard Parish, the debate over diversions isn’t just about moving their livelihoods southward. For years they’ve complained that the Caernarvon Freshwater Diversion — one of only two in the region — was actually destroying the marsh.

Opened in 1991, Caernarvon was conceived to support oyster fishers in Black Bay who were seeing their harvests decline due to rising salinity levels. it has a maximum capacity of 8,000 cubic feet per second, but its average discharge has been less than 2,000 cubic feet per second, a volume dwarfed by planned diversions that top 50,000 cubic feet per second. even at that small flow, fishers, trappers and others who make a living off the wetlands claim the lush blooms of freshwater plants masked a steady erosion of the soil below.

“The land is just wasting away, like it has cancer,” said Lionel serigne, operator of a Delacroix island boat launch and live shrimp business for more than 50 years.

“And now they got this plan to put more and bigger diversions? They ain’t helping us, they’re killing us.”

Those impressions were given scientific weight in 2008 when noted Louisiana

be forging ahead without proper science to guide its decisions.

The authors concluded by urging the agency to conduct comprehensive research to test alternative hypotheses on how wetlands respond to nutrient-rich river water.

One editor of the report, Chris swarzenski of the U.s. Geological survey’s Louisiana water science Center in Baton Rouge, said the team was surprised to discover that state and federal agencies had never undertaken in-depth research to find out how river water would affect coastal wetlands.

“That’s actually one of the most shocking findings,” he said. “it seems everyone has just taken for granted the slogan ‘put the river back in A view of Louisiana’s Atchafalaya Basin, one place the U.S. the marsh’ as the key to addressing the Corps of Engineers is implementing freshwater diversion problem — without ever going out in a sciprojects to rebuild the wetlands. entific way to find out what that would do. “it’s almost inconceivable to me that PHOTO COURTesY NATiONAL OCeANiC AND ATMOsPHeRiC ADMiNisTRATiON would happen, but apparently it has.”

state University (LsU) coastal scientist Gene Turner published research indicating the river water pouring from Caernarvon stunted root growth of critical marsh plants and accelerated decomposition of the highly organic marsh soil. His work echoed previous studies done in other parts of the world and was followed by more research in coastal Louisiana that reached the same conclusions.

The coastal restoration establishment countered that Caernarvon was a bad analogy because it was designed to move water, not land-building sediment.

Further, the state coastal authority’s research showed that the diversions would put so much sediment in the wetlands — along with the water — that they would build land and heal the ecosystem. And they had another reaction to scientists urging caution on diversions: southeast Louisiana was running out of time. As the coast continued to collapse, that community made no excuses for its sense of urgency.

The new papers refocus scientific attention on that debate. The New england study was led by Linda Deegan, an LsU alumna and now a senior scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory at woods Hole, Mass. Her team meticulously added concentrated nitrogen and phosphorous to tides flowing into an unpolluted coastal salt marsh. The primary plant in that marsh — spartina cordgrass — also dominates wetlands targeted for some river diversions south of New Orleans. in the first few years of the project, the nutrients ignited an explosion of growth in leaves and stems, but by the fifth year the edges of the marsh began “literally falling apart,” said team member John Fleeger, a professor emeritus at LsU. The pollutants weakened the root structures and speeded decomposition of the organic soil. The combination of stunted, weakened roots and less stable soil led to increased erosion from regular tidal currents. “when we first started this work,” Fleeger said, “it was thought salt marshes would be able to sequester excess nutrients and neutralize them with little impact on the marsh itself, but that hasn’t proven to be the case.”

Graves said Deegan’s research did not mimic conditions found on Louisiana’s coast. Deegan’s study used nutrient loads “double to 600 percent” of those found in the Mississippi River, and the tidal cycle in the New england study was more frequent and much stronger than in Louisiana, Graves said. Fleeger agreed there are differences between the study area and Louisiana, but he argued that the study has a bearing on Louisiana’s Master Plan because the changes caused in the New england marsh have been recorded in other research around the world.

The second report, a review of published research on the impact of the state’s freshwater diversions, was requested by Graves’ agency. it looked for any conclusions that could be drawn about those diversions, including their ability to build new land, encourage plant growth and stop erosion.

The panel criticized much of the science that has become standard reference material for the state’s coastal plan as sparse, insufficient and inconclusive.

One key finding: “Little evidence was available that any Freshwater Diversion in the Louisiana deltaic plan has significantly reversed the rate of marsh degradation and land loss.” while the panel saw some evidence of small-scale land-building adjacent to outflows, it noted that some papers also showed the freshwater diversions actually compromised plant growth, soil building and wetland elevation. Most troubling to outside researchers who have reviewed the report, the authors concluded that the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority may

PANO plays Jazz Fest

Officers’ uniOn wOn’t bOycOtt extra security jObs Michael Glasser, president of the Police Association of New Orleans (PANO), announced on April 17 that his group would not boycott security details at this year’s New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. As previously reported, the group had discussed a boycott of off-duty paid security details during major events as a protest of Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s proposed overhaul of the detail system.

“The idea has merit and may yet be one which the rank and file may choose to pursue,” Glasser said in a written statement. “However, the recent terrorist attack in Boston underscores the vulnerability we have as Americans, and especially in places of major public events attended by large crowds. Nowhere is this more common and more prevalent than in New Orleans.”

The City Council’s Budget/Audit/ Board of Review Committee has scheduled an April 25 hearing on two ordinances that would set in place the funding mechanism for the newly created police detail oversight organization, the Office of Police Secondary Employment (OPSE), which will be a City Hall office. Under the plan, off-duty detail management will be taken out of NOPD and centralized at OPSE. PANO and the Fraternal Order of Police both object to a proposed $5 per-officer-per-hour administrative fee included in the ordinances. Both groups also have argued that if the city takes the reins on details, it should pay overtime and benefits for detail hours. — CHARLES MALDONADO

Fall back mOrreLL biLL wOuLd mOVe LOcaL eLectiOn date State Sen. J.P. Morrell, D-New Orleans, has filed a bill to move the date of New Orleans’ municipal and parochial elections back to the fall from their current mid-winter dates. The idea has been discussed for years and now is being promoted by the League of Women voters of New Orleans, which asked Morrell to introduce the measure.

Senate Bill 191 will be heard this Wednesday, April 24, in the Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee. The measure came up for consideration last week but was deferred to allow the Secretary of State’s office to recommend some amendments.

As introduced, SB 191 would advance the citywide elections from the first Saturday in February to the third Saturday in October, with the general election four weeks later.

Citywide elections were held in the fall through 1977, when the late Dutch Morial won the mayor’s race. Morial, who was forced by law to resign his appellate judgeship to run for mayor, complained about the lengthy (six-month) transition period between his election and his inauguration. He convinced the Legislature to push the citywide elections back to February before he had to seek re-election in 1982.

Under the City Charter, the mayor and City Councilmembers take their oaths of office on the first Monday of May. Morrell’s bill, as initially drafted, would change that as well — moving it up to the third Monday in January. However, Morrell told Gambit last week that he will remove that provision because it conflicts with the City Charter. “The City Council and voters will have to decide whether to move the inauguration date,” Morrell said.

Proponents of such a change say it would limit outgoing mayors’ ability to leave incoming administrations in a budget hole.

Ever since New Orleans’ election dates were moved to February, campaigns for city offices — including those for parochial offices such as clerk and sheriff — have competed for voters’ attention with Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Day, Sugar Bowl, NFL playoffs, Super Bowl and Carnival. voter turnout has declined as well since then.

Morrell’s bill would take effect in 2015 and thus would not affect the next round of citywide elections, scheduled for Feb. 1 and March 15, 2014. Next year’s runoff already has been pushed back two weeks because otherwise it would fall on March 1 — the Saturday of Mardi Gras weekend next year. — CLANCY DUBOS

Children’s hospital says it’s too expensive Children’s Hospital is still interested in purchasing the shuttered New Orleans Adolescent Hospital (NOAH), but meeting the condition that it be used only for psychiatric services — as mandated by a law passed last year — would be too expensive, Children’s spokesman Brian Landry told the New Orleans City Council last week. Landry’s appearance before the council appeared to be a rebuttal to state Rep. Neil Abramson, D-New Orleans, who announced last month that Children’s had signed a lease for the NOAH property. The lease required that the hospital reopen NOAH for adolescent mental health treatment.

Landry said Children’s only signed the lease in order to continue talks to purchase the property. “Last year, we approached the state and said we would like to purchase the NOAH property,” Landry said, adding that sen. David Heitmeier, D-New Orleans, sponsored a bill allowing for the sale, without conditions. “when it got to the House, an [Abramson-sponsored] amendment was added that would only allow a lease” and provide that the property must be used for mental health services. That version passed.

Later that day, Abramson told Gambit, “sen. Heitmeier was not apprised about my prior involvement with this piece of property, that i’ve been working on bringing mental health [services back] for the past five years. Once i apprised him, he quickly worked with me.” The law, Abramson added, was passed unanimously by both the House and the senate and signed by Gov. Bobby Jindal. “This was a collective thing done by everybody,” Abramson said. “we were all in agreement.”

CounCil argues over bathrooms and parking After months of debating and revising proposals, the New Orleans City Council last week passed a food truck ordinance that would increase the availability of permits and allow 75 more food trucks in the city. Following a monthslong drive by council President Stacy Head, the council voted 6-1 to approve the draft-in-progress ordinance.

Councilmembers argued over several last-minute amendments to the proposed ordinance, including two concerning food truck access to bathrooms. “This has been the concern not just of (the louisiana Restaurant Association). This came from my public health people — not from the city, but from my access to a whole arena of public health people,” Councilwoman Jackie Clarkson said, adding she received guidance from “people who have been engaged in public health my whole life.”

Another bathroom-related amendment also passed, though with several sub-amendments. Clarkson proposed that food truck vendors have written permission to use the bathroom from a business within 300 feet of where a food truck parks, though council members agreed that a truck can be exempt if it can “demonstrate” there is no bathroom (e.g. in an underserved neighborhood). Clarkson introduced an amendment requiring trucks to carry keys to businesses with bathrooms, but she scrapped it.

Other approved amendments include a rule prohibiting trucks from operating in front of a “residential structure” (as opposed to an entire residential zoned neighborhood, which would have excluded vendors from operating in front of neighborhood bars that regularly invite trucks). Trucks also must display their permit number. A proximity requirement also passed, preventing trucks from operating within 200 feet of a brick-andmortar restaurant, unless trucks have a written waiver from the restaurant.

Councilwoman Cynthia Hedge-Morrell was the sole nay vote. The new ordinance will take effect Jan. 1, 2014. — Alex wOOdwARd

Budget nightmares “This thing’s scaring me. Did Stephen King write it?” — Rep. Joe Harrison, R-Napoleonville, reviewing Gov. Bobby Jindal’s proposed 2013 budget

The governor paints himself as a principled fiscal conservative, but his actions show him to be something else. rightly calls the governor’s plan an “accounting gimmick.”

Jindal’s fiscal irresponsibility doesn’t stop at the budget. He grabbed headlines in recent months for his similarly reckless plan to replace Louisiana’s individual income tax with the highest combined sales tax rate in the nation. That idea crashed and burned after the governor’s point man on “tax reform” admitted to lawmakers that the plan would raise taxes on Louisiana businesses by more than $500 million a year. The governor abruptly dropped the idea — then told legislators to find a way to eliminate income taxes on their own.

Lawmakers from both parties balked, and the idea appears dead for now.

In December, Jindal gave President Barack Obama some unsolicited advice about the so-called fiscal cliff, telling him that any solution should be “one-time, limited and accompanied by structural reform to make sure we don’t repeat this nightmare.” If only the governor would practice at home what he preaches to Washington. Unfortunately, with Bobby Jindal at the helm of Louisiana’s “household,” we’ve seen no structural reform — and we’ve repeated the budget nightmare every year. The next fiscal year looks to be no different.

n the spring of 2008, as Louisiana lawmakers convened during Gov. Bobby Jindal’s first year in office, a wise man bemoaned the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars in the state budget were “non-recurring” or one-time funds allocated toward “recurring” or annual expenses. The wise man correctly called that allocation an irresponsible and unsustainable way of filling budget holes.

“That is like using your credit card to pay your mortgage,” he said.

Who was that wise man?

None other than Gov. Bobby Jindal.

Today, state legislators might want to remind Jindal of that statement, which is still on the governor’s website (www.gov.state.la.us). For reasons no doubt related to political expediency and personal ambition, Jindal now thinks that using one-time funds is a swell idea.

That, despite a constitutional prohibition against using one-time money for recurring expenses.

The governor paints himself as a principled fiscal conservative, but his actions show him to be something else altogether.

He has relied upon one-time funds in every budget he has submitted as governor — going back six fiscal years now — and each time the result has been the same: devastating mid-year cuts to health care and higher education. Worst of all, each set of mid-year cuts was entirely foreseeable. Yet each year the governor follows the same script: relying upon rosy budget projections and fairy-tale contingencies that ultimately run head-on into fiscal reality, to the detriment of health care and higher education.

After five years of this madness, Louisiana voters have had enough. The governor’s approval ratings are in the tank, with more than 60 percent of the state’s registered voters giving him low marks. More than 77 percent say higher education and health care have been cut too much already and should not be cut further. They blame Jindal for those cuts, and rightfully so.

The governor is fond of pushing for a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He compares government spending to a household budget. Such homespun wisdom bears no relation to the way government operates, but even on that level Jindal doesn’t measure up. In his current budget proposal, $449 million comes from one-time funding, much of it speculative. For example, he proposes selling state assets to fund higher education. If those assets don’t sell, higher ed will face another round of mid-year cuts.

Using Jindal’s “household” metaphor, that’s the equivalent of hoping to sell off

everything in the backyard shed to pay the utility bill. If the yard sale doesn’t happen, the lights will go out.

That scenario is not far-fetched. Jindal’s current-year budget relies on money from leasing the New Orleans Adolescent Hospital (NOAH), which still hasn’t happened, with barely two months to go in the current fiscal year.

Elsewhere, Jindal proposes to borrow, through budgetary legerdemain, $100 million — interest free — from the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center’s reserve fund to pay for public colleges and universities next year. He promises to “repay” the convention center through the state’s capital outlay budget, which would put back into “reserve” $100 million that would otherwise go toward construction projects around the state. State Rep. Cameron Henry, R-Jefferson, one of the “fiscal hawks” who has tried to hold Jindal’s feet to the fire on budget matters,

Litigation nation onsidering all the litigation that has been filed against his initiatives — plus the anticipated lawsuits — it’s remarkable that Gov. Bobby Jindal has time for anything outside of a courtroom.

Unlike former Gov. Edwin Edwards, who wound up on the wrong side of the law with a string of corruption charges, Jindal’s time in court has more to do with his policies and his administration’s questionable interpretations of the state Constitution.

This is not a healthy trend. litigating costs lots of money, adverse decisions erode faith in the legislative process and Jindal’s preference for ramming bills through the legislature strongly suggests he’s more interested in doing things his way than doing them right.

The latest legal threat comes from rep.

Marcus Hunter, r-Monroe, who says he will sue to assert the legislature’s authority to review Jindal’s proposed privatization agreements for public hospitals. according to a recent attorney general’s opinion, the governor does not have to seek lawmakers’ approval to implement privatization, but most legislators want a say in that process.

Inching closer to Edwards territory, Team Jindal soon may see a lawsuit from CNSI, the company that lost a massive $185 million state Medicaid claims processing contract after it attracted the interest of a federal grand jury. former Health and Hospitals Secretary Bruce Greenstein, who changed the rules to allow CNSI to compete for the contract, announced his resignation when a federal subpoena came to light. Greenstein worked for CNSI before taking a job with Jindal.

When Jindal’s administration canceled the CNSI contract, company officials cried foul and insisted the problem was not on their end. CNSI spokesman Sonny Cranch says a meeting is scheduled with dHH later this month, after which the likelihood of litigation will become clearer. “We’re going to wait and see,” he says. “But right now we don’t want to predict that.”

Yet another potential lawsuit involves the artificial reef development fund, into which the oil and gas industry pays to help create underwater habitats using decommissioned drilling rigs. The fund has been targeted for a $20.6 million transfer to help balance Jindal’s proposed state budget for the next fiscal year. Jindal already has taken $45 million from the fund since the 2009-2010 fiscal year.

Members of the Wildlife and fisheries Commission (all appointed by the governor) argue that the reef funds can only be used for habitat creation, not to prop up

education and health care. “The administration told us they are working on ways to repay that money, and if they do, a lawsuit won’t happen,” says commission Chairman ronnie Graham. “But we’ll have to [sue] if they raid that fund again this year.”

Meanwhile, state reps. Kirk Talbot, r-river ridge, and Cameron Henry, r-Metairie, filed suit challenging Jindal’s budget last year. They say his budgetary contingencies amount to one-time revenue, which the state constitution prohibits using for recurring costs. The lawmakers recently amended their suit to include a review of Jindal’s current budget proposal. “after looking at the administration’s budget for the coming fiscal year, it is clear that it contains the same constitutional issues as the current fiscal year budget that prompted our lawsuit,” Talbot says.

Team Jindal also is in court defending a constitutional challenge to a 2009 law that provided generous repayment terms for $186 million that lawmakers and the ad-

Litigating costs lots of money, and adverse decisions erode faith in the legislative process. ministration withdrew from the so-called rainy day fund that year. If that challenge succeeds, it could blow a $400 million hole in next fiscal year’s budget (starting July 1), which already is projected to be $1.3 billion short. lawmakers are working on a fix this session, but nothing is certain.

Then there are the judgments already rendered against Jindal’s controversial education and public pension reforms. one judge ruled that Jindal’s voucher program unconstitutionally diverts public funds to private schools, while another decided that his “cash balance” retirement plan, set to go into effect next fiscal year, did not receive enough votes for passage last year. lawmakers likely will debate those matters again this year.

Jindal may never get to be president of the United States, but he’s already well on his way to being president of litigation Nation.

Hey Blake,

There have been many movies made in Louisiana, but some time in the 1930s, a movie was filmed locally with a major location — City Park. It was shown briefly at the Gallo. That’s all I know about it. I was hoping you would know more.

Dear Jeff, Many movies of the 1930s feature Louisiana and/or New Orleans, but very few were actually filmed here — and no movie was shot in City Park in the 1930s.

For the movie Banjo on My Knee, starring Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea, New Orleans police were filmed in front of the 3rd District police station on Chartres Street in 1936. In that scene, two police wagons sped from the station with bells and sirens sounding and cameramen filming the action.

Bed of Roses with Constance Bennett and McCrea also has scenes that were shot during Carnival 1933.

Many other movies made in the 1930s were all or partially set in Louisiana or New Orleans, but actually made in Hollywood, including Safe in Hell (1931), Blond Venus (1932), The World Moves On and Belle of the Nineties (1934), Naughty Marietta and Whipsaw (1935), It Happened in New Orleans (1936), Madame X (1937) and The Toy Wife (1938).

One very famous movie about New Orleans was The Buccaneer, based on Lyle Saxon’s story of Jean Lafitte. It starred Frederic March as the famous privateer who helped Andrew Jackson win the Battle of New Orleans in 1815.

The Buccaneer premiered in New Orleans Jan. 7, 1938 at the Saenger Theater.

The movie’s director, Cecil B. DeMille, was

Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea starred in Banjo on My Knee, part of which was filmed in New Orleans. in town for the annual celebration of the Battle of New Orleans. He gave a speech and presented scripts and pictures of the movie to the library of Louisiana State University and the state museum.

DeMille and his staff came to Louisiana in March 1937, before production on the movie began. They researched the career of Jean Lafitte, prowled the bayous of the Barataria area where Lafitte and his men operated, searched libraries and museums and inspected the treasures of the Cabildo. In July 1937, DeMille sent a second group to Louisiana to film the backgrounds he had chosen: moss-hung swamps, plantations and swamp country natives. Those shots would be blended into action scenes filmed in Hollywood. No scenes were shot in New Orleans.

DeMille’s next location was Catalina Island off the California coast, where he brought 18 barge loads of equipment, two square-rigged battleships and three gunboats from the 1814 period. The director built a 7-acre settlement and brought in 700 people.

His version of the Battle of New Orleans was filmed with 6,000 players at Baldwin Oaks near the Santa Anita racetrack in California.

Another big Hollywood movie set in New Orleans of the 1850s was 1938’s Jezebel, starring Bette Davis and Henry Fonda. It wasn’t filmed here, but there was a Louisiana connection. Dalton S. Raymond, head of Louisiana State University’s opera department, was a voice coach and advisor to the producers.

Red-flagging the OIG n 1982, the New Orleans City Council allowed the local utility, then known as New Orleans Public Service Inc. (NOPSI), to pay the cost of a low-turnout referendum to transfer utility regulation from the council to the Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC). The proposition passed, and soon thereafter utility bills in New Orleans skyrocketed.

The council should have seen that one coming. When a utility offers to underwrite a referendum in which it has a huge stake, somebody should throw a big red flag. That didn’t happen until it was too late.

Three years later, after a grassroots push by the nascent Alliance for Affordable Energy, New Orleanians voted overwhelmingly to return utility regulation to the City Council. Ever since, the local

referendum. I should have thrown a red flag then, but I didn’t. I’m not going to make that mistake again.

Let me make clear that I totally support the mission of the OIG. The city needs a well-funded, independent inspector general. That’s precisely why it’s a huge mistake for the OIG to let a third party underwrite its work. In fact, that’s why the OIG has a dedicated funding source: to keep it independent.

Questions of independence are not the only problem with the OIG delving into the council’s regulatory sphere. As noted by the alliance and the council’s advisors, the OIG has neither the expertise to dissect complex utility issues nor the authority to examine policy decisions by the council. I would add that the OIG also lacks institutional memory on this issue, because it mentions LPSC

It’s a huge mistake for the OIG to let a third party underwrite its work.

utility — now known as Entergy New Orleans — has had to toe the line on rates and costs.

The Alliance for Affordable Energy remains a key player in utility regulation, and the council is far more responsive to local ratepayers than the LPSC was.

As a result, base rates in New Orleans are the lowest in the Entergy system.

Those rates reflect the efforts of the alliance and the council’s utility consultants, some of whom have advised the council for three decades. The consultants don’t come cheap, but they know their stuff — and they have saved New Orleans ratepayers billlions of dollars over the years.

Every so often, some well-intentioned (or not) soul takes a look at the council’s utility regulation costs and gags because the consultants’ fees are paid by Entergy and passed on to ratepayers.

Somehow, the billions in savings get overlooked or downplayed.

Apparently the city’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) has decided to weigh in on that long-settled debate — with a faintly familiar twist. In February, the OIG issued a request for proposals (RFP) to hire a consultant to examine not only the costs of the council’s regulatory functions, but also the efficacy of the council’s decisions as regulator. The OIG’s costs have been covered by a third party — the Rosa Mary Foundation.

I covered the council’s ill-fated decision to let NOPSI pay for the 1982

regulation as a viable option. That’s just plain dumb.

“It’s so far away from their mission, it’s practically in another solar system,” says alliance Executive Director Casey Roberts. “It’s not clear why the OIG is interested in energy policy.”

The alliance fired off a letter objecting to the OIG’s initial RFP. The council’s lead utility advisor, Clint Vince, wrote a 15-page broadside against it, citing numerous legal problems, inaccuracies and biases. The OIG recalled its initial RFP and issued a second request.

Responses are due May 3, with a decision May 14.

It would be one thing if the inquiry focused solely on waste or fraud; that’s the OIG’s mission. Instead, it’s a far-flung look at virtually all aspects of utility regulation — including whether the council should even be in that business.

IG Ed Quatrevaux told me last week that the proposed review is completely in line with his office’s mission. He said the inquiry has no biases, but he did note that New Orleans is “the only city in the country” that regulates a public utility and that the consultants cost ratepayers lots of money.

A March 5 OIG statement quotes Quatrevaux as saying, “It’s inappropriate to discuss the project now.”

Actually, this is precisely the time to discuss the project — and to throw a big red flag on it.

New Orleans Suspects

What could have been simply another paid-for-jam-sessions supergroup of New Orleans-based musicians has developed into something much more. The New Orleans Suspects bridge generations and genres in forging a distinctive swamp funk/rock sound, which combines silky Hammond B-3 organ grooves of classically trained pianist C.R. Gruver (Outformation), founding Radiators bassist (and 1970s-era James Booker associate) Reggie Scanlan, the tenacious drumming of “Mean” Willie Green (Neville Brothers), sax playing of Jeff Watkins (James Brown, Joss Stone) and guitarist Jake Eckert, whose shred-heavy axe work lends a psychedelic edge to recent-vintage Dirty Dozen Brass Band music. Taken as a collective, this merger

hits its highest peaks in an improvised live format. In 2012, the Suspects released an eponymous studio debut as well as Caught Live at the Maple Leaf, recorded during a raucous weekend at the Uptown haunt that serves as something akin to headquarters for this developing, heavytouring band.

Gary Clark Jr.

Last year’s buzzed-about Blues Tent delight, twentysomething Texas axe-slinger (and Jimi Hendrix heir apparent) Gary Clark Jr. arrives at the Gentilly Stage after a blockbuster 2012. In February 2012, Clark rendered a smoldering cover of traditional blues tune (and Hendrix classic) “Catfish Blues” at the White House for President Barack Obama and a national PBS audience. October marked his major label debut (on Warner Bros., after releasing albums on his own Austin-based Hotwire Unlimited label since 2004) with Blak and Blu. Although it packs a few cringe-inducing moments evident of a possible sophomore slump, Blak and Blu also packs plenty of promise, such as the inclusion of a cover of fellow Texan Albert Collins’ “If You Love Me Like You Say” and a deft weaving of Hendrix’s instrumental masterpiece “Third Stone from the Sun” — a live-set staple of Clark’s that he shredded to pieces before a setting sun in City Park during the Voodoo Experience. As anyone who was there there can testify, sophomore slump or not, Clark possesses the stuff of greatness.

DR. JOHN & THE NITE TRIPPER BRINGS ITS NEW SOUND TO THE ACURA STAGE

It’s easy enough to characterize Tommy Sancton as a globe-trotting, festival-favorite clarinetist. But his story — revealed in the sweeping, eloquent 2012 memoir Song for My Fathers — parallels that of traditional jazz in New Orleans and its venerable present-day home, Preservation Hall. Sancton was introduced to traditional jazz players — contemporaries of Louis Armstrong then fading into old age and obscurity thanks to a world turning to rock and modern sounds — by his father, also named Tom, who left his native New Orleans to become a renowned writer in New York City, where he last served as a New Republic editor before returning to his hometown. The elder Sancton — who contributed pro-civil rights articles to underground publications espousing views radical for a white Southerner at the time — found inspiration in jazz and, more intimately, the jazz men he found in a modest French Quarter art gallery. These “mens,” as the musicians called themselves, took in the younger Sancton as a clarinet apprentice. After hearing George Lewis play the clarinet on the radio, the younger Sancton took up the instrument and performs at the now world-famous Preservation Hall with the New Orleans Legacy Band. Playing both improvised instrumentals and classics from the early years of jazz, Sancton’s band — Clive Wilson (trumpet), Lars Edegran (piano), Jason Marsalis (drums), Ronell Johnson (trombone) and Kerry Lewis (bass) — mixes races and generations in a way that would make Sancton’s father proud.

It’s also a mix that keeps New Orleans’ indigenous music alive and well.

Lawyer jokes aside, it’s a good thing for music lovers at large, and modern jazz in particular, that tenor-sax titan Joshua Redman delayed Yale Law School for what he presumed would be a year after graduating (summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, mind you) from Harvard University. Taking up some friends’ help-us-make-the-rent roommate offer of apartment space in Brooklyn, Redman instead immersed himself in New York City’s avantgarde jazz scene, playing a vibrant nightclub circuit with the likes of Peter Bernstein and Larry Goldings.

Five months later, Redman, a native of Berkeley, Calif., whose parents are acclaimed saxophonist Dewey Redman and dancer Renee Shedroff, won the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Saxophone Competition.

Today, Redman touches on influences from John Coltrane to Ornette Coleman to Led Zeppelin in creating

An eighth-generation St. Landry Parish Creole, Simien leads the band’s explosive, expansive take on traditional zydeco. This show also features Lake Charles-born Ida Lewis “Queen Ida” Guillory, hailed as the first female accordionist to lead a zydeco band and known for her Caribbean flourishes.

Saturday, April 27 Classie Ballou and the Family Band

In the 1950s, Classie Ballou’s band had a reputation for being able to back any singer in any style: swamp pop, rhythm and blues, blues, zydeco and many others. Ballou’s band backed up Boozoo Chavis in the first zydeco track ever, 1954’s “Paper In My Shoe.” Ballou also played with Big Joe Turner and Rosco Gordon. These days he’s the headliner and plays music characterized by a unique mix of Latin, New Orleans and southwest Louisiana sounds on such songs as “Crazy Mambo,” “Classie’s Whip” and “Hey Pardner.” Ballou’s band now includes his children and grandchildren, and they have an intuitive sense that only musicians who share a gene pool could have.

Herb Hardesty and the Dukes

Ask anyone in the know who is the best drummer in this drummer-rich city of New Orleans, and many will say Herlin Riley.

Riley was the powerhouse behind the later recordings of the Wynton Marsalis Septet as well as Ahmad Jamal. Riley is a great musician who can explain his and others’ music with down-to-earth clarity.

He also is a member of the Lastie family of 9th Ward musicians whose history is a significant part of the last half-century of New Orleans music. His anecdotes about them and his experiences should be fascinating.

Lost Bayou Ramblers

There’s a great new movement in Cajun music. Centered in Lafayette, it is driven by musicians who are very aware of tradition while adding modern touches like rock guitar and occasional dance music trappings. The Lost Bayou Ramblers are at the forefront of this trend. After releasing Mammoth Waltz, one of the best Louisiana-based records of 2012, the band has been tearing up the country with Cajun music infused with reckless rock ’n’ roll attitude. The band plays energetic 21st-century south Louisiana party music for party people.

Alexis and the Samurai

Alexis Marceaux’s current claim to fame comes from making it through a couple of rounds on NBC’s The Voice, but she and her band The Samurai have been paying dues in New Orleans and on the road for the past few years. She has a voice that can both soar into the stratosphere and dig deep in the dirt. The songs are beautiful — with surprising arrangements and nuances in each one. Her sound is atmospheric pop with strings, acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies, but it’s more than delicate music — the band rocks with enthusiasm as needed.

Magary Lord grew up in Salvador, the capital city of the Brazilian coastal state Bahia and was influenced by everything from Carnival beats to the music of Gilberto Gil and Michael Jackson. Lord developed his own style of music, called black semba, based on African beats and incorporating Latin and Caribbean sounds, often combining a variety of drums. Much of his music ranges from singing over Latin hip-hop beats with full horn sections to Carnival party music buoyed by tinkling guitars and Caribbean steel pan drums.

ALEXIS ANd ThE SAMUrAI

Few New Orleans musicians have been behind as many hits as Allen Toussaint, though often his songs were written for or more famously covered by other artists. The hits “Java” and “Southern Nights” have both been credited with more than two million airings each. Other Toussaint-penned tunes include “Working in the Coal Mine,” “Ride Your Pony,” “Fortune Teller,” and “Mother-In-Law.” He Produced LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade,” and he’s worked with a variety of rock ’n’

roll legends, including Paul McCartney.

His post-Hurricane Katrina album with Elvis Costello, River in Reverse, drew a Grammy nomination, and Toussaint has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame.

After four decades in the music business, Toussaint continues to write music and perform, and his catalog of songs are both sampled in hip-hop tunes and recorded by new generations of artists.

His compositions and arrangements showcase the tight horns and unique rhythms of Cuba and Puerto Rico via East Harlem, but they also have the capacity for exploratory and climactic solos and group interplay. He’s delivered some great sets at the Jazz Fest before, and he has employed altoist Donald Harrison Jr. for years, so he knows what New Orleans audiences expect.

New Orleans and the world owes Herb Hardesty a lot. In the days when Fats Domino, Little Richard, Shirley & Lee and many other rhythm and blues heroes were storming the charts with records made at J&M Studios on either North Rampart or Governor Nicholls streets, Hardesty was part of the saxophone section and contributed killer solos. Hardesty’s sound helped define what became rock ’n’ roll. Last year, several lost sessions featuring Hardesty and other legendary musicians (Ed Frank, Cornelius “Tenoo” Coleman and others) were released in all their honking, rocking glory.

Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite

Harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite has become a blues legend — like the ones he emulated after moving to Chicago in the 1960s. Ben Harper’s music touched on blues, rhythm and blues and other roots music as he developed his own soulful sound.

His voice works within the notes to add an emotional aura that gives his songs their intensity. Musselwhite and Harper’s new collaboration, Get Up!, hollers and stomps at points and coos and sings at others. In a live setting, this pair promises powerfully good roadhouse music.

Her music is based in the world of rhythm and blues, but it encompasses the whole scope of African-American music. She can make others’ tunes her own, but where she excels is in her own songs’ sensitive and incisive poetry. She is the latest in a long line of soul divas, and the power of her live sets are justification enough for that crown.

Of all the jazz musicians to have come out of New Orleans, Sidney Bechet (1897-1959) might be the best, and that includes Louis Armstrong himself as competition. Bechet’s tone, timbre and improvisatory imagination on both clarinet and soprano saxophone still amaze jazz aficionados. Jazz Fest has assembled a great collection of players, including Dr. Michael White, Donald Harrison Jr., Roderick Paulin and Brian “Breeze” Cayolle to play both Bechet standards and rarities.

In more than four decades, Earth, Wind and Fire has released a slew of albums (nearly 40 including all the compilation albums, together selling more than 90 million copies worldwide), collected numerous awards including six Grammys, been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2000) and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. There were a few brief hiatuses in the 1980s, but in recent years, the band has been recognized for its influence on American pop music and has performed everywhere from the Super Bowl to the White House.

In the very late 1960s, Maurice White put the large band with a full horn section together to fuse rock, jazz, R&B, soul and gospel. The band hit its stride in the mid- to late-1970s with the albums That’s the Way of the World, which included the title track and “Shining Star,” All ’N All and I Am featuring “After the Love Has Gone,” and it dipped into disco with hits like “Boogie Wonderland.” Through almost all of its tenure, White (who is active with the band but no longer tours), Verdine White, Philip Bailey and Ralph Johnson were at the core of the group, which has seen many lineups and included

dozens of members. The latter three talk about the band in an interview early in the day.

During those years, the band often spanned several generations. Both in the band and in jazz jams around town, Batiste mentored many young musicians, including Kermit Ruffins. The Treme Brass Band leads a jazz funeral for him starting at Economy Hall and ending at the Jazz Fest Ancestors Memorial. Treme then closes the day with a tribute to Batiste in the Economy Hall Tent. The show should include several special guests.

eave it to Andrew Bird to dub an annual series of concerts “gezelligheid.” The Dutch word doesn’t have a direct English equivalent.

Depending on its use, it could mean cozy, celebratory or simply nice. For the multi-instrumentalist Bird, the intimate concert series has the larger meaning of being at home and making audience members feel like they belong. At the 2013 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the genre-leaping songwriter will perform on the Fais Do-Do stage, which is smaller and more personal than its mammoth neighbors.

“Every time I play a show I consider where I’m at and the significance of

L

buy.sell.trade

the music to that,” he says.

Bird just put down his guitar before answering his phone. He speaks slowly and deliberately, giving thoughtful responses made of almost sighed sentences.

“I like playing on my feet and reacting,” he says. “It keeps me awake and musical to have to stay on my feet. ...

The people I’ve found to play with, they thrive on not knowing what’s coming next from me. They enjoy that. We all still have the spirit of jazz, though maybe not the actual sound of jazz. We always feel let down if something new didn’t happen every show.”

of Glory, captures that intimacy, and along with it the spirit of early folk and blues recording sessions, during which musicians huddled around a single microphone and recorded together, as if each take could be their last.

Bird is wary about calling it nostalgia. “The Hands of Glory stuff does bring me back to old New Orleans stuff,” he says.

“Even though it’s old-timey stuff, old bluegrass, I still play hot jazz.

It’s just the way my phrasing ends up.”

In the late ’90s, Bird recorded his first two albums with thengroup Bowl of Fire on Magazine Street in an old sno-ball factory outfitted with a single microphone, much like the sessions for Hands of Glory.

“That was out of this religious respect for the old 78s and old music — that’s when I was younger and more dogmatic about it,” he says. “Now it’s like, when you play into one microphone and you have no headphones and no monitors, you just sing and play better. … Having to project your voice out and barely be able to hear yourself — that’s what it feels like on stage. It pulls real music out of you.”

Bird’s Bowl of Fire borrowed from traditional folk, blues, jazz and swing — a pastiche of the American songbook that Bird has studied since childhood. He first picked up violin at age 4.

“I learned music like it was a language,” he says. “I didn’t learn to read music until I was 13 or 14. There was a good 10 years of just soaking it up and learning Bach and Mozart — but as if they were folk tunes.”

Bird branched out to world music, from indigenous Scandinavian and Irish stylings to Hungarian gypsy music, then to early jazz greats like Django Reinhardt and New Orleans legends Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong, Snooks Eaglin and Buddy Bolden, of whom no recordings are known to exist.

“I just loved reading about this kind of history that’s unrecorded — pre-recording-era stuff. Totally fascinating,” he says. “Even if it’s very dry history, I found that it sparked my imagination of what it’s like.”

Bird’s early folkways gave way to lush, eclectic pop operettas — ambitious albums (like 2007’s Armchair Apocrypha and 2009’s Noble Beast) scored with longwinded lyrics and his signature plucked violin.

from that rooted, traditional music, it’s always been something I play before a show to remind myself what it’s supposed to feel like, even if I’m doing my own songs, which have less traces of early blues and jazz,” he says. “It’s what I do to open up my voice and feel musicality. It all comes from the old hymns.”

Hands of Glory reimagines songs from last year’s Break It Yourself coupled with his take on traditional hymns and Americana. Bird also covers Townes Van Zandt’s “If I Needed You,” a straightforward, sentimental country-folk ballad, played in stark contrast to his delicately layered compositions and elaborate vocal phrasings. (“The opposite of a typical Andrew Bird song,” he says with a laugh.)

“The less descriptive the song is, the more descriptive you can be every show. It’s just a blueprint,” he says. “My favorite kind of music ever is the kind that doesn’t tell you how much to play or feel. That’s kind of an important revelation. Some people know I can do more complicated stuff … but this is harder, this simple thing. You’ve got nothing else to hide behind. It demands you be present and musical and honest.”

Bird says he won’t try to recreate that revelation onstage. “There’s no hope,” he says. His live shows are famously different from his albums — the former is a partially improvised, loose approximation of his songs, while the latter relies on his finely tuned arrangements.

“A lot of bands try to recreate that

headphone masterpiece,” he says.

“A song is just made of some basic elements. There’s melody, there’s chords, lyrics. Start building it from scratch on stage. It’ll be far more interesting than replicating the record.

That leads to a lot of fun on stage, just throwing it out the window and start all over.”

On 2010’s Preservation, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band invited artists including Tom Waits, Pete Seeger, Jim James, Jason Isbell and others to record live in the venerable jazz institution. The musicians spent only one session each with the band and performed just a few takes — all live, with no overdubs, like Hands of Glory. Bird shines on album opener “Shake It and Break It,” originally by Charley Patton, an out-of-the-gate stomping jazz number, with Bird’s signature fiddle and whistles fluttering into the room.

“Coming back and playing with Preservation Hall a couple years ago was kind of a trip,” he says. “It’s been a while since I really spent time in the city. I remember playing with different busking musicians back when I was in my early 20s in New Orleans. I remember how territorial it got. If you were on the wrong corner you could very well get your ass kicked. I kind of expected that territorial thing. I was pleasantly surprised Preservation Hall was so warm towards me. Some of the guys knew of those early records. I said, ‘Oh, I used to play this kind of music.’ And they said, ‘Yeah, we know who you is.’”

cultural Exchange Pavilion << << << << << << << << << << << << << rayhawk Perkins, a member of the United Houma Nation, has been a performer, storyteller and curator of Native American programming for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival for more than 20 years, but he still lists dispelling stereotypes among the things he’s doing with some of the features of the 2013 festival’s Native American Cultural Pavilion.

The center of the Native American performances, displays and activities will be on the lawn between Food Area II and the Congo Square marketplace. The area will include a performance tent, a fry bread demonstration and food service booth, craft vendors and three types of homes.

“The chickee is used by Southeastern Indians,” Perkins says. “There’s a cedar house from the northeast and a teepee — those are used by Plains Indians. But we could have had 20 different types of houses.”

Jazz Fest’s Native American programming typically focuses on Louisiana tribes. The Louisiana Folklife Village, near the Fais Do-Do stage, has regularly featured music and dance as well as craftspeople. There will be some Native American crafts in the area this year, but Native American culture will extend into many areas of the festival including the kids’ tent and kids’ activities, on music stages and in a photography exhibit and art installation in the grandstand. There also are panel discussions on Native American culture.

Many of the visiting musicians combine Native American traditions with contemporary musical genres. Martha Redbone is a blues and soul vocalist from Kentucky who has Cherokee, Choctaw, Shawnee and African-American ancestry.

Redbone’s most recent project is an album of William Blake’s poetry put to music. She’ll perform with her group, Martha Redbone Roots Project (Fais Do-Do stage, 1:30 p.m. Sunday) as well as in the Native American pavilion performance tent.

Mirabal plays clarinet, saxophone and piano but is best known for his flute playing — and he makes his own instruments. He collaborated with other Native American musicians on the Grammy-winning Sacred Ground: A Tribute to Mother Earth, and he often performs in multicultural bands, incorporating different genres and cultures.

Singer/songwriter Miller grew up in the Midwest and is of Mohican heritage.

He has toured with Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, Richie Havens and Arlo Guthrie and has written songs for many mainstream artists. Pura Fe is a descendent of the Tuscarora nation and is best known for founding the renowned female Native American a cappella group Ulali.

The Native American Pavilion hosts dancers from different regions as well.

The Oneida Longhouse Dancers are from Wisconsin, and the Yellow Bird Indian Dancers are from Arizona, and they wear traditional garb when performing dances from their heritage.

In SYNC A music and film conference explores digital distribution and more.

<<<< << < << By Will Coviello he Seattle-based rapper Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were recently announced as performers at November’s Voodoo Experience. Zach Quillen, the duo’s manager, arrives at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival next week to talk about how the independently released song “Thrift Shop” climbed the charts. The song’s strange odyssey attracted the attention of Scott Aiges, the director of communications and marketing for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, and the creator of its Sync Up conference.

“I was at the gym on the elliptical trainer, and I use Spotify,” he says. “I switched it to the ‘What’s New’ function, and soon I heard this catchy little rap song by someone I’d never heard of before.”

He wasn’t totally hooked on it until a few weeks later when he was browsing content on NPR’s website. He found a Tiny Desk Concert (videotaped performances at NPR’s offices) featuring Macklemore and Lewis.

“I was blown away by this small band of wild people putting on a wild show in this little office,” Aiges says.

He researched the group and saw that that the independent release had climbed quickly up the charts. His curiosity led him to contact several of the people who will deliver keynote talks or appear on panels at the conference. They include Quillen, NPR director of music Anya Grundmann, experts on digital distribution Jim Griffin of One House Music and Ty Roberts of Gracenote and others.

Aiges created Sync Up to help connect musicians with music industry leaders and experts, including Island Records’ founder Chris Blackwell and Pandora founder Tim Westergren.

Digital distribution and technological changes are frequent topics at this year’s conference. In spite of the rapidly developing and changing platforms of distribution, some things remain constant. Griffin is a former Geffen Records executive who consults and writes on digital music distribution. He notes the industry is transforming from music as a product, in which consumers buy CDs or downloads, to a service, in which subscribers have constant access to huge libraries of music. Content is less likely to be purchased outright and more likely to be streamed under a blanket license.

So far, consumers like the access and

The 2013 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival Congo Square poster features Stanley Dural Jr., better known as Buckwheat Zydeco, and was painted by R. Gregory Christie. Dural was an accomplished keyboardist when he joined Clifton Chenier’s Red Hot Louisiana Band in 1976. By 1978, he switched to accordion and in 1979 launched his own band. Buckwheat Zydeco was the first zydeco act signed to a major label. He has been nominated for multiple Grammy awards and won one for Lay Your Burden Down (2009). Christie has created covers for many jazz albums, is a former illustrator for The New Yorker and has illustrated more than 40 books. For more information visit www.art4now.com.

Technicians’ tenures at Uptown Auto range from 5-25 years. Cosma goes to great lengths to ensure he and his staff stay up to date on advancements in car repairs.

“It requires a constant education to keep up with new technology,” Cosma says. “One of the services I pay for is information.”

Trainers from major car companies teach Uptown Auto technicians how to use and repair the latest automobile technology. Cosma and his staff attend multiple training sessions a year, which last two to four days or longer. Cosma is preparing for a 10-day training session in Alaska, which he will attend with auto technicians from around the country.

Cosma does more than just attend training sessions.

“I work on the cars as well,” he says.

“Because a repair can be so complicated, sometimes we have to put all our heads together to find a solution.”

ver since he was a boy, Uptown Auto Specialist (501 S. Carrollton Ave., 504-866-8392; www.myuptownauto.com) owner Paul Cosma dreamed of owning an autorepair shop. He started out working at car dealerships and independent garages, and when he moved to New Orleans from northeastern Ohio more than 30 years ago, Cosma immediately found a location to open his shop. He hasn’t moved since.

Uptown Auto Specialist provides a full range of car repairs and a complete body shop specializing in Germanmade vehicles. The shop also offers pre-purchase inspections, so customers know a used car’s condition before they buy it. Cosma stresses the importance of inspections. He’s encountered people planning to buy $8,000 cars who are shocked and disappointed to find out the vehicle needs $3,000 worth of repairs.

Along with pre-purchase inspections, routine maintenance is key to ensuring a car lasts for the long haul, Cosma says.

Even though the need for frequent oil changes and tune-ups is decreasing in newer models, vehicles still should be inspected by a professional several times a year, he says.

“Bring (your) car in before it’s completely falling apart,” he says.

“Fixing two or three things is a lot

Peche Seafood Grill (800 Magazine St., 504-522-1744; www.pecherestaurant.com), the latest from the Link Restaurant Group, opens this week with an approach to Gulf seafood that chef Donald Link says is a bit of an experiment.

The concept brings outdoor, open-fire cooking traditions to an indoor restaurant where fish will essentially get the same nose-to-tail, whole-animal treatment that Link has employed to acclaim at his restaurant Cochon. Ryan Prewitt, a chef who rose through the ranks at Link’s first restaurant Herbsaint, leads the kitchen at Peche.

Link says the seafood-as-barbecue concept sprung in part from travels in South America, where the open-fire asado tradition remains strong. But he also points to his work with the Fatback Collective, a consortium of pork-minded chefs and barbecue pit masters from around the South.

“It’s all related,” he says. “Open-fire cooking, hanging out with the pit masters, cooking outside. Cooking on open fire page 65

his customers come for a particular notion of New Orleans comfort food that was codified long before he arrived, and it still runs through his daily specials schedule like clockwork. It’s a mix of anywhere-America diner fare, such as meatloaf and chicken noodle soup, and specific New Orleans staples, including hot sausage with butter beans and a Friday seafood platter.

The kitchen usually gets cracking by 6:30 a.m., stacking up malty pancakes the color of egg yolks, superlative hash browns griddled to crisp sheets of crunch (also available at lunch on Fridays) and grits and biscuits that all arrive buttered by a very heavy hand.

In the morning and afternoon, most patrons at Leni’s look and act like regulars.

But then, it’s easy to feel at home here even on the first visit.

a time capsule diner

A good everyday wine, this 100 percent cabernet sauvignon was produced by the highly regarded Familia Zuccardi winery, now run by a third generation of winemakers. The Zuccardis are honing sustainable agriculture practices and use a state-ofthe-art facility. Hand-picked fruit from the Uco Valley and Maipu subregions is macerated with selected yeasts for 10 days and aged 10 months in French oak. Well-balanced and medium- to full-bodied, the wine offers aromas of ripe blackberry, hints of oak, tobacco and pepper. On the palate, taste plum, cassis, currant and black cherry with herbal and spice notes and well-integrated tannins.

For best flavor, open an hour before serving. Drink it with steak, lamb chops, roast duck, wild game, stewed rabbit, barbecued pork and spicy Italian fare. Buy it at: Whole Foods Markets, Fresh Market and Cost Plus World Markets.

ew Orleans restaurant culture is abuzz with different flavors, new fashions and even a new lexicon. But then there are restaurants that ignore trends altogether, and in some cases stand apart by essentially standing still.

One exemplar of this last type is Leni’s Restaurant, an unfussy, never extraordinary but eminently reliable diner hidden in plain sight in the Warehouse District. It’s a place where taking in the details can be as satisfying as eating the food.

There’s the clanking, vintage cash register ringing up meals that rarely exceed $10 and the stainless steel milk cooler on the counter.

Visiting the washroom means edging yourself past the sputtering griddle, and faded New Orleans Saints posters hanging all around the dining room evoke the era when bleeding Black and Gold actually hurt.

The menu is almost as dated, but unlike many of those old Saints squads, it still gets the job done. Pastel-colored plastic plates are loaded up as if by an indulgent aunt. Paneed veal covers the better part of a plate. Beef erupts from stuffed bell peppers and gets worked into a hamburger steak coated in the same gravy that drips from the roast beef po-boy. Sides like canned beets or hammy greens are wedged in just to make sure you get some vegetables.

Places like Leni’s were common downtown in the past, but their numbers are dwindling.

Gregory & Pete’s, for instance, was a very similar restaurant nearby on Baronne Street that closed in 2011 after a 40-year run. Its old address is being turned into a pan-Asian restaurant called Lucky Rooster, and a Jimmy John’s franchise is opening next door.

Gregory & Pete’s and Leni’s shared more than a format. Their owners, related by marriage, are part of a tradition of Greek immigrants who reached America and went straight into the restaurant business. Pete Patselikos bought Leni’s Restaurant in 1978 from another Greek man who had run it since the 1950s and claimed it had been a restaurant dating back to World War I. Patselikos kept the diner’s name, and he’s changed little since. He says that’s because

interview changes the way you think about food.”

Portions and coursing veer a bit from convention as well. A raw bar offers crudo, oysters and seafood salads, and a good part of the menu is dedicated to small plates and snacks to pass around the table, mostly in the $7 to $12 range.

Shrimp toast, stuffed crab claws, smoked tuna dip, grilled mussels, beer-battered fish sticks and a Sichuan-inspired ground shrimp and noodles dish are some sample items. Whole fish and smaller cuts from the grill will change frequently.

“We’ll have whole fish coming in instead of fillets and steaks so we can do more with them,” Link says. “Some of it goes to crudo, some of it goes on the grill, we can make fish chips from the skin.”

Peche’s building dates to 1884 and it originally was a livery and later a funeral home, according to documents at the Preservation Resource Center. Today, the restaurant design mixes the building’s massive exposed timbers and bare cypress with the bustle of an open kitchen and raw bar and adds a few elegant touches, such as antique chandeliers.

Peche serves lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday. Reservations are accepted.

Beefing up the Quarter

VICE PRINCIPAL CHIEF OF THE UNITED HOUMA NATION

t

his year’s New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival highlights Native American culture, with music, crafts and food from different tribes. That includes an expanded presence from the United Houma Nation, which for nearly 20 years has served traditional foods like fry bread and maque choux at Jazz Fest. The tribe will operate two booths this year, and members will demonstrate the preparation of other dishes at the Cajun Cabin and Food Heritage stages (visit www.nojazzfest.com for details). Lora Ann Chaisson is a longtime leader for her tribe, and her cooking has been featured on the Travel Channel and PBS.

Jazz Fest visitors may be familiar with your fry bread. What’s behind that tradition? chaisson: Every tribe has its own fry bread, all over the country. They have different versions, but wherever you go there’s fry bread. We eat ours all day.

We have it for breakfast with cane syrup. You have it for lunch with your beans.

At Easter, there’s a big stack of fry bread on the table.

What does it take for the tribe to participate in Jazz Fest each year? c: It’s a challenge. We’re not a restaurant or a caterer; this is all volunteer. So we organize people into shifts and we drive everyone up from Houma and the bayous every day, starting at 6:30 in the morning with vans and cars picking people up. But I’m very proud to be there. The exposure for the tribe is invaluable, and it’s amazing how many other native people come to Jazz Fest and seek us out at the booth.

Where does traditional Houma cooking fit with overall Louisiana cuisine? c: Honestly, I think other groups mostly took parts of ours to add to theirs. We grew up with gumbo, but I had never heard of a gumbo with roux. Our gumbo is based on onions. It wasn’t “First you make a roux,” it was always “First you brown your onions.” We use sassafras to thicken it. But like everyone else in Louisiana, food is a big part of our culture. When you hear someone is getting married, the first question isn’t “What’s the wedding date?”. It’s “Who’s doing the cooking?”. That’s the truth. It’s like that for baby showers, everything.

— IAN MCNULTY

“It’s the food culture here that appealed to us,” Ben Eli says. “There’s nothing better than serving good food to people who love good food, they know what it is and appreciate it.”

New on Magazine Street

A bakery and a casual restaurant are the latest openings along one of Uptown’s increasingly busy restaurant rows.

Baie Rouge (4128 Magazine St., 504304-3667; www.baierougenola.com) is offering anytime dining with counter service during the day and table service at night. The menu is relatively short but eclectic. The pommes frites with brie could be on a bar food menu, for instance, but seared duck with orange gastrique sounds like an entree at an upscale dinner spot. Prices are moderate, with sandwiches and entrees between $10 and $18.

Longtime local bartender Kimble Donington Smith and chef Michael Capiton (previously of Eleven79 and

Galatoire’s Restaurant) opened Baie Rouge in what for years had been a vacant storefront. Their design includes an open kitchen, lots of recycled and repurposed woodwork and a long bar. It doesn’t have a liquor license, however, so Baie Rouge is BYOB. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday.

Lisa and Chris Barbato opened their new bakery Rivista (4226 Magazine St., 504-371-5558; www.facebook.com/ rivistanola). Until recently, Chris was the executive chef at Cafe Adelaide. Lisa was pastry chef at the former French Quarter restaurant Peristyle before opening a booth at the Crescent City Farmers Market. Her croissants, bagels, sweet and savory tarts and other pastries have been a weekly treat for market shoppers, and they’re now available at Rivista.

The shop takes its name from the Italian word for magazine, and it serves Italian coffee drinks too. Barbato says to look for soups, salads and sandwiches as Rivista gets rolling. The restaurant serves breakfast and lunch daily.

Trends, notes, quirks and quotes from the world of food.

“In America, there might be better gastronomic destinations than New Orleans, but there is no place more uniquely wonderful. ... With the best restaurants in New York, you’ll find something similar to it in Paris or Copenhagen or Chicago.

But there is no place like New Orleans.

So it’s a must-see city because there’s no explaining it, no describing it. You can’t compare it to anything. So, far and away New Orleans.”

— Anthony Bourdain, host of the CNN travel show Parts Unknown, when asked in a CNN interview to name the one U.S. city he thought people should experience for food.

A pair of globetrotting restaurateurs expect to open a steakhouse in the French Quarter in May, but don’t expect your standard filet mignon and creamed spinach. Doris Metropolitan (620 Chartres St., phone n.a.) is taking shape off Jackson Square, and it promises a Mediterranean approach, with an inhouse retail butcher shop and its own “meat sommelier.”

This will be the second Doris Metropolitan location from Itai Ben Eli and Doris Rebi Chia, a pair of Israeli-born restaurateurs who operate the original Doris Metropolitan in Costa Rica. They’re tweaking their concept for New Orleans, and the restaurant’s menu will be a mix of dry-aged steaks with lamb, veal and plenty of flavors from around the Mediterranean.

“We like to bring the classics and do it with influences from our own culture,” Ben Eli says. “So lots of eggplant, lamb, maybe there’s tahini in the steak tartare.”

The restaurant will have an open kitchen, walls lined with wine racks and a small walk-up butcher shop selling steaks and other meats. A large dry-aging room will have windows facing the street, giving passersby a look at the beef, and in the dining room, a specialized staff member will guide patrons through their choices.

“Different people will want different steaks, so we’ll have a meat sommelier to offer a cut that really suits them,” Ben Eli says.

Ben Eli and Rebi Chia opened the first Doris Metropolitan in the Costa Rican capital of San Jose in 2010. While scouting other cities for a second location, they were impressed by the vibrant New Orleans restaurant scene and found an appealing spot in the building that housed the Alpine until it closed in 2012.

Deacon John Moore will be inducted into Tipitina’s Walk of Fame, and there’s a silent auction as well. Instruments a Comin’ tickets are $40 general admission, $200 VIP. Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews created the Trombone Shorty Foundation (www.tromboneshortyfoundation.org) last year and Shorty Fest is a fundraiser for it. The program already supports music classes for 20 students at Tulane University’s Center for the Gulf South. The students will perform (with Joseph “Zigaboo” Modeliste) at the event at Generations Hall (310 Andrew Higgins Drive, 504581-4367) on Thursday, May 2, along with Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Cha Wa and the Hot 8 Brass Band. Tickets are $40 general admission, $100 VIP. The Roots of Music Marching Crusaders band offers music education to middle school students. The program was founded after Katrina by Rebirth Brass Band drummer Derrick Tabb. The organization will benefit from a brass band blowout at The Howlin’ Wolf (907 S. Peters St., 504-529-5844; www. thehowlinwolf.com) Sunday, April 28. The lineup includes the Dirty Dozen, Rebirth, Hot 8, Stooges and TBC brass bands. Tickets are $20.

PHOTO By JIM BROCK The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation (www.jazzandheritage.org) hosts its gala fundraiser Thursday, April 25, at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside (2 Poydras St., 504-561-0500). In recent years, proceeds from the gala have funded a year’s worth of music programming for 85 students at the foundation’s Don “Moose” Jamison Heritage School of Music.

The program is open to beginner- and advancedlevel students, and the foundation is renovating a building to create seven classrooms and a 200-seat auditorium to house the school at its complex on North Rampart Street. The 2013 Jazz & Heritage gala has a brass band theme of Glass House Reunion, referring to the Uptown bar where the Dirty Dozen created a legendary weekly throwdown that fueled interest in younger brass bands and their incorporation of R&B and funk into their music. The event features the Dirty Dozen and Rebirth brass bands, and Kermit Ruffins is the host. Tickets are $500 and include daily admission to Jazz Fest with exit and reentry privileges.

uring the two weeks of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, there’s plenty of music both at the Fair Grounds and around the city.

Many evening concerts feature multiple bands or collaborations between musicians who don’t often get the chance to play together. And some of those concerts support local musicians and music education programs.

One of the long-running fundraisers is WWOZ FM 90.7’s Piano Night, which marks its 25th anniversary this year. In a town known for pianists including Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, Allen Toussaint, Dr. John and James Booker, it’s a fitting focus to raise funds for the community radio station (the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation holds its broadcasting license). Since it takes place on the Monday after the first weekend of Jazz Fest, Piano Night is a good reason for some musicians and music fans to extend their weekend.

“It’s an opportunity to share music with the community and get our listeners to an event,” says WWOZ program director Dwayne Breashears. “It’s about the music. It’s very organic. (Musicians) can do what they want. … To see Ike Stubblefield cut loose is incredible.”

Piano Night is Monday, April 29, at the House of Blues (225 Decatur St., 504-310-4999; www.hob. com), with music in the main club room and solo pianists in The Parish, as well as extra performances in the Foundation Room for Club 88 ticket holders.

The lineup includes Marcia Ball, Tom McDermott, Ike Stubblefield, Bob Malone, Marco Benevento, Liz McComb, Bob Andrews, Keiko Komaki and others. Tickets $53 general admission, $289 Club 88 (including fees).

The Tipitina’s Foundation created Instruments a Comin’ 12 years ago. The concert features an all-star lineup of local bands, and proceeds benefit local school music programs. The foundation reports it has donated a total of $2.5 million worth of instruments to 75 schools. Funds are used to buy instruments at a discount from the New Orleans Music Exchange. In the years since Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures, foundation donations have helped many high school marching bands replace lost equipment.

Instruments a Comin’ is Monday, April 29, at Tipitina’s (501 Napoleon Ave., 504-895-8477; www. tipitinas.com). The music lineup includes Anders Osborne, Galactic, New Orleans Suspects, Dumpstaphunk, Walter “Wolfman” Washington and the Roadmasters, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, Bonerama, Honey Island Swamp Band and many others.

Charles Bradley and His Extraordinaires 10 p.m. Sunday One Eyed Jacks 615 Toulouse St. (504) 569-8361 www.oneeyedjacks.net

An early-rising indie rock enigma, a late-blooming R&B singer, a youngAmerican psych wunderkind, an unsung old-guard Englishman and a stampeding Canadian gold rush all walk into a bar ... You know it’s New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival time when Deerhunter (Monday), METZ (Wednesday), Terry Reid (Friday), Youth Lagoon (Saturday) and Charles Bradley (Sunday) line up in a row at One Eyed Jacks.

Bradley (pictured) is the only act also playing at the fest. The Gainesville, Fla., native, former cook and onetime James Brown impersonator — who with his 2011 debut No Time For Dreaming, at age 63, gave pow- aPRIl Deerhunter erful, literal new meaning to the term impressionist — performs Saturday 10 p.m. Monday at the Fair Grounds, making this surely unchained show his wrap party.

One Eyed Jacks His second album, this month’s Victim of Love (Dunham/Daptone), picks up where Dreaming left off, smoldering old soul led by grooved guitars, 615 Toulouse St. stabbing horns and Bradley’s pained voice, a tattered kite he lets fly (504) 569-8361 above every refrain. Hurray For the Riff Raff opens. Tickets $20.

Deerhunter’s sixth album, Monomania (4AD), doesn’t arrive until May www.oneeyedjacks.net 7, but the unpredictable Atlanta band debuted its title track a month early on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon with one of the strangest guest appearances Fallon (or anyone else) has ever seen: singer/songwriter Bradford Cox performing in character as Connie Lungpin, a wigged-out Alice Cooper with vampire fangs, his left hand mangled and wrapped in gauze. Just as the lurching song spins out of control, Lungpin seems to lose interest, wandering offstage (with a camera) to lurk the halls of the NBC offices like a bloodthirsty 30 Rocker. Jackson Scott, Mas Ysa and KG Accidental open. Tickets $15. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

SPECIAL ENGAGEMENTS NO PASSES OR DISCOUNT COUPONS ACCEPTED

There are a couple of red flags that always seem to pop up in movies that are not all they should be — especially as regards storytelling.

One is that after mysterious or confusing events take place, the action stops and one character explains everything to another so the audience can make sense of what just happened. A second red flag occurs when critical, story-altering information is delivered through flashback. You thought things were this way? No, they’re really that way. These flags wave defiantly in Oblivion, a movie that also features the most innovative and original sci-fi visuals since Blade Runner came along 31 years ago. Oblivion Oblivion (PG-13) is gorgeous. But you won’t be able to recount the Directed by story later to friends, even with benefit of spoilers. It’s just too muddled and incomplete.

Joseph Kosinski Co-writer and director Joseph Kosinski, whose Starring Tom Cruise, only other feature is Tron: Legacy, has no one but Morgan Freeman, himself to blame for Oblivion’s shortcomings. The Olga Kurylenko and screenplay has three additional contributors, but it’s based on an unpublished graphic novel Kosinski Andrea Riseborough wrote himself. The story takes place in a post-apocWide release alyptic Earth mostly destroyed by an alien invasion.

Co-working couple Jack (Tom Cruise) and Victoria (Andrea Riseborough) live alone together on the ravaged planet. They maintain killer drones and protect from alien sabotage the floating machines that turn seawater into energy for the new earthling colony on one of Saturn’s moons. Jack has strange dreams of a woman (Olga Kurylenko) he can’t quite remember, even when she crash-lands on Earth. Of course, things are not as they seem, which is obvious from the movie’s first scene until the lackluster surprises finally arrive.

But the visuals alone may be worth the price of admission. Partially shot in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Oblivion is the first movie to arrive in theaters via a new super-high-resolution 4K digital camera. The results are remarkably detailed, especially when viewed on an IMAX projection system (available at both the Elmwood and Clearview Palace theaters.) But Oblivion’s triumphs are not merely technical. Jack pilots the coolest aircraft you’ve ever seen in a movie. The beautifully austere house in which he and Victoria live, perched impossibly on the edge of a 3,000-ft. ridge, is a triumph of futuristic production design. And instead of using a green screen behind the house and filling in later on computer, Kosinki sent a crew to the highest peak on Maui to shoot panoramic images of the sky, later projecting them on set when the cameras rolled. If only such devoted attention had been paid to the script.

And then there’s Cruise, whose presence in any movie has come to signify empty heroics. It’s not that his performance is poor — more that you can’t really look at him now without thinking of Scientology and bizarre off-screen behavior. Even so, he’s not Oblivion’s problem. The reviewing press has repeatedly been asked not to reveal the film’s secrets. But there’s nothing much to tell. And it’s no spoiler at all to say that in the end, Cruise has to try and blow up something really big in order to save the world. As if you didn’t know. — KEN KORMAN

What do abandoned local gas stations and Soviet-era monuments have in common? The short answer is Srdjan Loncar, a New Orleansbased Croatian expat artist, who used them as the basis for this Barrister’s show. The title, Cardak Ni Na Nebu Ni Na Zemlji, is from a Serbian fairytale and means “a castle neither in the sky nor on earth,” which to Loncar suggests monumental structures that once had a purpose but which now exist in limbo — if they still exist at all.

Designed in the 1960s by Yugoslavia’s leading modern sculptors as military memorials when that nation was the most progressive place in the former Soviet empire, they are now bizarre monuments to a vanished communist past, just as defunct gas stations memorialize the reign of fossil fuels. Loncar’s photographs (pictured) and scale-model metal sculptures distill them into design statements that celebrate the surrealism of unintended consequences.

Irish artist Malcolm McClay extends this exploration in his collaged graphics of partially completed luxury homes that were abandoned when the housing bubble burst in Ireland, leaving numerous ruinous monuments to greed and broken dreams. The tone turns elegiac in com or visit www.sttammanyartassociation.org for details.

This year’s festival has grown to two weekends and two venues, includes an array of puppet sizes and styles (marionettes, rod and shadow puppets and more) and offers both family-friendly and adults-only shows. The only giant puppet performance during the first weekend is The Pearl Assembly by the local troupe Skookum Heebee Tumtum Productions at the Marigny Opera House. Second weekend giant puppet shows include Calliope Puppets’ When Night Dreams, and the Chinese-style dragon puppets in the Mudlark Puppeteers’ The Monkey King. Family-friendly shows are at the Marigny Opera House from 7 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. Late-night shows are at the Mudlark Puppet Theatre, and material ranges from risque offerings to tales of murder and demons.

Exposing the deficiencies of charter schools was the premise of Lockdown, recently presented at Ashe Cultural Arts Center by Junebug Productions. It should be noted that exposing injustice was always a priority for Free Southern Theater, founded in 1965, a precursor to Junebug.

Lockdown was a spare, ensemble piece about an hour long. It was written and developed by the actors, director Kiyoko McCrae and Keshia “Peaches” Caldwell. Many of the performers are teachers or work in local schools.

Lockdown was less a play than a fugue of monologues and snippets of scenes. It began with Troi Bechet entering through the audience singing “Got My Mind on Lockdown,” with the rest of the cast serving as her chorus. The piece posits that charters are privatizing public education and that they will perpetuate the divide between the haves and the have-nots. “They are training our kids for submission,” is another charge.

A mixture of personal conflict and abstraction marked the piece. We got to know the teachers and their struggles, but the students who were meant to reveal the flaws in the system were unseen offstage figures. This was a crucial gap in the piece.

McCrae assembled a sterling cast and elicited fascinating performances.

The piece had little conventional interaction but never dragged. Though the play was single-minded, the characters were complex and caught in conflict with themselves and others.

Bechet, Michael “Quess?” Moore, Thena Robinson-Mock, Rebecca Mwase and Derek Roguski represented different aspects of the local school system after Hurricane Katrina. Bechet, a veteran teacher of 35 years, said she was one of 4,500 teachers fired or forced to resign. Roguski was a Teach For America newcomer with only one year of teaching experience. Bechet is African-American and Roguski is white, and a racial subtext ran through the play, though at times it was addressed more overtly.

In one section, each of the characters related how they became aware of racial differences, starting with childhood experiences. This couldn’t help but stir similar memories in the audience.

I was left with a few questions. How do business interests and think tanks affect charter schools? It seems extreme for a school to call the police about a kid who threw a pencil at a teacher, but we also learned of a kid who hit a teacher in the head with a rock. Some of the discussion about charters reaches beyond school walls.

If theater’s social role is to raise questions without providing answers, Lockdown was on target. — DALT WONK

don’t judge a book by its cover

when Not Performing: New orleans Musicians PHOTOGRAPHy By DAVID G. SPIELMAN TExT By FRED LyON, PELICAN PUBLISHING, $29.95

By Kandace Power Graves

T

Batiste in his living room shortly before he died last year, Cyril Neville in his garden, Nicholas Payton at Jackson Square and Mia Borders outside Slim Goodies. At other times it appears the constraints Spielman put on himself were hinderances in terms of capturing skin tones, getting subjects relaxed and engaged and helping impart the importance of the settings.

Lyon did a good job of telling each musician’s story and offering some new facts, but the text really comprises a short biography of each person and doesn’t really focus on offstage interests. It mentions where the photographs were taken, and there’s a sentence or so about why the spot was chosen, but no in-depth look at the role their pastimes have on the music they create or the way they play it.

When Not Performing likely will become a staple among fans of New Orleans music, and a good reference book that covers a surprising number of musicians in a range of genres. A common thread runs through most of the interviews with musicians: New Orleans is a continual font of artistic inspiration, and regardless of where they go, they always come back to the Big Easy.

— Meet David Spielman at the following booksignings: 2 p.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, April 27 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival book tent (1751 Gentilly Blvd.)

he title alone elicits excitement.

Of course we want to see what the city’s musicians do on their off time and learn about the characters we love and admire. The title also holds a heady promise: to reveal something new about well-known musicians that fans have followed for years and open a window into their personal lives.

That’s where the arts of writing and photography come in.

A photographer’s approach to his or her art is as individual and sometimes quirky as a musician’s methods for creating sounds. Some photographers are aggressive in manipulating the setting to give them a perfect picture; others take more subtle control by putting a subject in a setting, then making them feel comfortable enough to reveal an inner spirit. David G. Spielman, a New Orleans photographer and writer, takes a more organic approach, using available light and adhering to a philosophy of minimalism in equipment, time and staging. As the backdrop for these photos, Spielman asked the musicians to choose the places most special to them when they are not on stage.

“Working quickly, not wanting to disrupt their lives or schedules, I shot with available light and with very little equipment,” Spielman wrote in a preface to the book. “There was no propping or rearranging furniture. I always shoot it as I find it; I want the viewers to see it as it is.”

It’s an admirable journalistic ethic, but a risky plan for producing an art/coffee table book. When it worked for Spielman, the results were wonderful: Johnny Vidacovich enveloped by his drums (pictured), Fats Domino at his piano, James Andrews with his trumpet in his backyard, the late “Uncle” Lionel
