JAZZ FEST @ NIGHT 2022 / The Grids!

[belyin]

A few more gigs

4/29

• Malevitus @ Sidney’s Saloon 7pm

Malevitus are a great post-punk band with an angular sound, cutting lyrics, and vocals by the charismatic Tiana Hux (a.k.a. MC Sweet Tea,) and as such are quite different from all most all of the musical offerings during the festival season. I recommend this show if you are looking for something different.

I would imagine the Mobetta show will go late into the night.

Mononeon has late night with medeski, etc. The party will probably move to Howlin' Wolf around 2-ishness....wouldn't be surprised if Paak and Mobetta stop by.

I heard this track from Malevitus a few months ago on WWOZ.

They sound right out of the late 70s/early 80s NYC scene I grew up in.

For those into Jazz don't miss UK drummer extraordinaire Yussef Dayes at the new One Eyed Jacks on Wed 5/5. You may not see a better drummer anywhere during the fest. This guy is amazing. He was half of Yussef Kamaal who put out their album Black Focus which pretty mush started the UK Jazz boom back in 2016.

His current band that will most likely be at OEJ: Yussef Dayes - drums / Rocco Palladino - bass / Charlie Stacey - keys / Malik Venna - sax / Alex "Alexander Tha Great" Bourt - percussion

Curious how the pros do an 8pm show start, do you go straight from fest ? always do like a shower and a change before part deux but seems like a tall order. TIA

Many 8pms won’t start til later (but not all), if I have stuff planned after that I’ll usually go freshen up and eat but if I only have the 8, I might go straight to there. Depends.

While I should do a favor to my fellow concert goers and take a shower, somehow that always leads to the inevitable nap

I always shower after fest - quick turnaround is only possible if you are a small krewe - Nancy and I have it down to a science

If you are looking for something different, in Baton Rouge there is The Red Dragon Listening Room, a wonderful and unique performance venue. The place is an old social aid and pleasure club that has a stage at one end and some pretty good acoustics. It truly is a listening room, people are informed that they are to go outside if they wish to converse. It is run by a non-profit that is funded by donation. Every penny of the admittance fee goes to the headliner, a bucket is passed for the opener. The front half of the room is the VIP, which consists of old sofas and loveseats. The back half is chairs and church pews. No food or drink is sold, but you can get a bottle of water or a brownie if you ask. You are allowed to bring anything you want to eat and drink, and even bring your dog. I have seen some pretty great shows there, including The Flatlanders, Hays Carll, Alison Moorer, Kinky Friedman, Tift Merritt, John Gorka and The Psycho Sisters.

Shows during jazzfest:
April 27 Rod Picott with Barry Hebert
April 28 Trout Fishing In America with Cast Iron Cactus
May 1 Steve Forbert duo CD release with Christy Lee Gandy
May 7 Bill Kirchen Band with Bill Romano

Their website is down, but the facebook page is current. Chris Maxwell runs the place and can be contacted by email at [email protected]

I wish that place was here in New Orleans. Funny thing is that I've never been in Baton Rouge. Just never had any reason to. Maybe now I do.

Why the tickets for Mobeta and .Paak at Toulouse Theater has increased from $60 to $80 if it's still in early bird?
