St Augustine Celebrates Jazz Festival Season with Series of Events


Mass Intentions to Honor Ed Bradley

French Consulate General, Tulane Kick-Off "Neighborhood Table" Series

Dr. John, Other Internationally Acclaimed Performers as Special Guests

St. Augustine parish members invite Jazz Fest attendees, community
volunteers, other faith-based community members and visitors to join the
faithful at special Jazz Masses both Jazz Fest Sundays at 10:00 a.m. at
the historic and culturally significant St. Augustine Church, 1210
Governor Nicholls St.

Ed Bradley Mass Intentions
During the St. Augustine 10:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday April 29, the first
Sunday of Jazz Fest, special music offerings will be sponsored in
celebration of the memory of CBS' 60 Minutes correspondent and music
aficionado Ed Bradley, who passed November 9, 2006. Bradley, a New
Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival enthusiast, was known for loving all
kinds of music, especially jazz. He hosted the Peabody Award
< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peabody_Award> -winning Jazz at Lincoln
Center <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_at_Lincoln_Center> on
National Public Radio
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Public_Radio> for over a decade
until just before his death and was a perennial Jazz Fest attendee.
Bradley's family and friends will be in attendance at this special Mass.

The acclaimed St. Augustine Soulful Voices Choir, led by Choir Director
Carol LeBlanc with musicians Cynthia Dolliole and "Esquizito," will be
joined at the Mass by musical guests Marva Wright and the Treme Brass
Band. Ms. Wright, a gospel/blues/r&b singer, was always introduced by
Ed Bradley during her annual Jazz Festival appearances for many years.

The Treme Brass Band, a 2006 NEA National Heritage Award recipient and
an integral part of New Orleans' brass band resurgence, specializes in
the jazzed-up hymns that have been the stock-in-trade of marching bands,
jazz funerals, and street parades, as well as traditional jazz numbers
and originals. Led by Benny Jones, the Treme Brass Band has a long
tradition of supporting Church functions and community events. The
band's name comes from the historic neighborhood in which St. Augustine
Church is located, long known as the home of many generations of New
Orleans's finest musicians.

Bradley Celebration Continues with Reception
After Mass, a second line will lead congregants and community members to
the St. Augustine Church Yard for the first of what-is-hoped-will-be an
eight-week series honoring Creole culinary traditions. The Neighborhood
Table series, hosted by the Consulate General of France with support
from Tulane University, will feature a celebrated chef after the 10:00
a.m. Mass each week. Leah Chase, of Dooky Chase Restaurant, will be the
inaugural chef and will be joined by community cooks and St. Augustine
parishioners Dorothy Johnson and Antonia Marigny. Dr. John, the Wild
Magnolias Mardi Gras Indian Tribe, and the Treme Brass Band will perform
during this celebration.



Second Sunday features more Guest Artists
May 6, chef Leah Chase's daughter, vocalist Leah Chase, along with
acclaimed singers Topsy Chapman and John Boutte, will join the St.
Augustine Soulful Voices Choir in glory and praise.

Leah Chase has earned numerous awards for her jazz, blues, r&b, pop, and
show tune performances. An educator as well as a singer, her tours have
taken her all over Europe and South American, but home is New Orleans.

With roots in gospel music, Topsy Chapman is an eclectic and nuanced
singer renowned for her jazz stylings. Like Chase, Chapman has also
toured the world performing gospel, rhythm & blues, and jazz, both as a
solo artist and as the founding member of Solid Harmony, a group known
for New Orleans music deeply rooted in a melodic and harmonic gospel
style.

Seventh-generation Creole New Orleanian John Boutte has been proclaimed
"Best Male Vocalist" by both the Big Easy and Offbeat's Best of the Beat
Awards, most recently at this January's Best of the Beat honors.
Boutte's performance at last year's Jazz Fest was pronounced the "Best
Live Concert of 2006" by Washington Post Music Critic Geoffrey Himes.

These three talented vocalists have all worked together and with St.
Augustine Choir Director Carol LeBlanc. Their years of dedication and
tradition to their craft will help the St. Augustine community usher in
the final Sunday of Jazz Festival. Support for this musical celebration
is generously provided by the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic. For more
information on the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic, please contact Beth
Fisher, NOMC Community Director at (504) 415.3514.
