  • 2020-06-Artist Spotlight | Big Al and The
    Down Home Groovin’ With Big Al and the Heavyweights Times are very challenging right now. There can be no doubt about that. This pandemic is robbing us of our loved ones, the economy is tanked worldwide, once bustling cities now look like ghost-towns, businesses are closing down while many will likely never reopen, jobs are on hold, millions have no income and are in need of food, and to top it all off, we are hunkered down in our homes, wondering when this nightmare will end. Left with only our thoughts, it is all too easy to slip into a deep funk and lose all hope. It is worth remembering, that out of significant pain, some of the best musical genres in the world arose, weaving tales of hardship set to music, that penetrates the depth of our collective souls. The blues originated in the Deep South in the post Civil War era, conveying stories of the pain of slavery and the toll it took on African descendants, while combining African musical traditions, African-American work songs, spirituals, chants, and ballads, as a means of powerful story-telling. Zydeco music is a genre endemic to southwest Louisiana, from primarily French Creole speakers, blending the blues, rhythm and blues, and the indigenous music of Louisiana Creoles and Cajuns. Roots music is a very broad category of music that includes music from the varied origins of American life. It includes bluegrass, old time music, folk music (particularly from Appalachia), Cajun, and Native American music, while serving as a basis for rock and roll, rhythm and blues, and jazz.

  • A Feminist Perspective on New Orleans Jazzwomen
    A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE ON NEW ORLEANS JAZZWOMEN Sherrie Tucker Principal Investigator Submitted by Center for Research University of Kansas 2385 Irving Hill Road Lawrence, KS 66045-7563 September 30, 2004 In Partial Fulfillment of #P5705010381 Submitted to New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park National Park Service 419 Rue Decatur New Orleans, LA 70130 This is a study of women in New Orleans jazz, contracted by the National Park Service, completed between 2001 and 2004. Women have participated in numerous ways, and in a variety of complex cultural contexts, throughout the history of jazz in New Orleans. While we do see traces of women’s participation in extant New Orleans jazz histories, we seldom see women presented as central to jazz culture. Therefore, they tend to appear to occupy minor or supporting roles, if they appear at all. This Research Study uses a feminist perspective to increase our knowledge of women and gender in New Orleans jazz history, roughly between 1880 and 1980, with an emphasis on the earlier years.

Marva Wright sings from the heart and that is why she is able to reach such a large audience with her music. Like many great musicians from New Orleans Marva is very versatile and can sing pop, blues, gospel or jazz. The moment she begins to sing you can hear that her vocal style is rooted in the great tradition of African- American gospel music. It is singing the blues though where Marva has excelled. This is Marva’s tenth album and her third for the Australian based Aim label. Featured on it are some of Marva’s musical friends including vocalists Charmaine Neville, Bo Dollis and Terrence Simien. Charmaine Neville of the very talented Neville clan has her own successful group that performs regularly in New Orleans and internationally. Bo Dollis is the Big Chief of the Wild Magnolias. Terrence Simien is one of the leading performers of the indigenous Louisiana music known as Zydeco. In a relatively short time Marva has established herself as one of the top drawing artists in the musical hotbed that is New Orleans. In a city known more for its rhythm and blues and jazz she along with people like benny Turner, J. MonqueD, Rockin’ Jake, Bryan Lee and others have carved out a healthy blues scene.

  • Herman Ernest Memorial Health Screening Initiative Saving Lives Through Early Detection & Prevention
    HERMAN ERNEST MEMORIAL HEALTH SCREENING INITIATIVE SAVING LIVES THROUGH EARLY DETECTION & PREVENTION ABOUT THE HERMAN ERNEST HEALTH SCREENING INITIATIVE The late “diesel funk drummer” Herman “Roscoe” Ernest greatly impacted the Tulane and NOMC medical teams who cared for him during his battle with head & neck cancer. To honor of Herman’s wishes that awareness, prevention, and early detection spread throughout our community, Joyce Ernest, Herman’s widow, collaborated with the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic & Assistance Foundation (NOMAF) and the Department of Otolaryngology at Tulane University School of Medicine to create The Herman Ernest Memorial Health Screening Initiative. The ultimate goal is to save lives through early detection. This innovative program is conducted in partnership with Healing Hands Across the Divide (HHAD), a non- profit headed by Dr. Paul Friedlander, Herman’s surgeon at the Tulane University School of Medicine. HHAD provides free monthly head, neck and mouth cancer screenings throughout the community, reaching out to those at greater risk for theses cancers, namely African Americans and uninsured patients whose mortality rates are respectively two and three times worse than that of their non-African American and insured counterparts. Many patients at the NOMC meet one or both of these criteria. The New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic and Assistance Foundation (NOMAF) officially kicked-off its Herman Ernest Memorial Health Screening Initiative on Sunday, August 7, 2011 with a special Satchmo Fest concert, although the screenings had begun in April 2011. Monthly community head and neck cancer screenings are conducted by the Herman Ernest Health Screening Initiative together with Healing Hands Across the Divide.

He founded his first band already in the age of 15. Since then, he has been playing in various instrumentations at festivals and in clubs all over Europe. Since 1990, he has released 15 of his own records. As piano player, singer and songwriter he is committed to the Southern States music with body and soul. His performances are stamped by the distinctive way Thomas Stelzer is able to combine song and emotion. His smoky Blues voice gives even cover songs a personal touch. With his different formations he plays Louisiana Blues and New Orleans’ Style. Plenty of songs are written by him, they are geared to different examples like Professor Longhair, Fats Domino, Dr. John and Allen Toussaint. Thomas Stelzer gets his inspiration first of all by traveling to Louisiana and New Orleans. Already in 1999, he performed together with Levon Helm there in his Blues Café. This year, he played with Marva Wright and her band in Mama’s bluesclub. In 2001, he had the chance to be on stage together with Eddie Bo, Marcia Ball, Jon Cleary, Johnny Vidacovich and many more at the 13 th Annual WWOZ Piano Night.

  • 1 FINAL REPORT Panel of Experts, New Orleans City Council Street
    FINAL REPORT Panel of Experts, New Orleans City Council Street Renaming Commission Preamble How do we do justice to the centuries of history that have unfolded on these 350 square miles of land surrounding the Mississippi River? What is the relationship between this diverse history, its reflection in our city’s officially named spaces and places, and the values we strive to enact as a community? This report, prepared with the input of more than forty of the city’s leading scholars and writers, themselves drawing on more than a century of the most cutting-edge historical and cultural interpretation, offers no definitive answers to these questions. We have been guided throughout though by the conviction that asking these questions, developing a collaborative process, telling the multitudinous stories contained in this report, and reconsecrating some of the spaces in this city is an imperative as New Orleans enters its fourth century of existence as a city. The collective 111 suggestions for renaming streets and parks below makes no claim toward being a definitive history of the city. For every musical innovator like Jelly Roll Morton, Mahalia Jackson, or Mac Rebennack included there is a Bunk Johnson, Emma Jackson, Ernie K-Doe and countless others who have been left out. The four individuals included who fled the men who owned them as slaves near present-day Lakeview are but four of the thousands in this city’s history whose collective individual actions over centuries forced a reluctant nation to finally begin to live up to its highest ideals.

    OregonLive.com's Printer-Friendly Page http://www.oregonlive.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/travel/1170287... THE BIG EASY, MADE EASY Sunday, February 11, 2007 KEVIN ALLMAN The Oregonian Before moving to Portland, I lived in New Orleans for 10 years -- both before and after Hurricane Katrina. Recently, I went back to see what progress had been made. The recovery is nearly complete in the French Quarter and the visitors' areas, which makes the destruction in the rest of the city even sadder. But the Big Easy is open -- and hungry -- for visitors; you can even get a table at Emeril's with little problem. Spring is a great time to visit; it's still temperate, and prices are low in the weeks between Mardi Gras (Feb. 20) and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (April 27-May 6). But what to do? What's open, and what's improved? Here's the scoop on visiting post-Katrina New Orleans on any budget: STAY LUXE: After a yearlong renovation, the posh Ritz-Carlton (504-524-1331, www.ritzcarlton.com/hotels/new_orleans) just reopened; it's all nonsmoking (except the cigar bar) and drop-dead gorgeous. The Windsor Court, (1-888-596- 0955, www.windsorcourthotel.com), Louisiana's only AAA Four-Diamond hotel, pampers you with live jazz, daily tea and gracious formality (think the Benson). NICE: I like Le Richelieu (504-529-2492, www.lerichelieuhotel.com) for its quiet French Quarter location, its pool and its balcony rooms with ceiling fans. Likewise the Provincial (504-581-4995, www.hotelprovincial.com); friends are always charmed by its ultra-Southern courtyard rooms with antiques and tester beds.
