In this weeks episode of the Working Artist Project, Darrian Douglas and Gregory Agid speak to clarinetist virtuoso, Evan Christopher Evan Christopher combines virtuosity, immaculate taste, and enthusiasm with a commitment to exploring the full range of possibilities in the New Orleans clarinet tradition. His highly personal brand of “contemporary, early jazz” strives to extend the legacies of early Creole clarinet heroes such as Sidney Bechet, Barney Bigard and Omer Simeon. Critics remarking on Christopher's dynamic expressiveness have coined his style “close-encounter music” (NEW YORK TIMES) and have called his respect for the music traditions of New Orleans, “a triumph, joining the present seamlessly to a glorious past.” (THE OBSERVER, UK). His journey on Clarinet Road began in 1994, when he left his native California to join the New Orleans music community. Diverse freelance work included gigs with musicians such as Al Hirt and veterans of Preservation Hall to funk and brass bands including the Nightcrawlers and Galactic. But in 1996, he left for San Antonio, Texas to appear nightly for nearly three years with the Jim Cullum Jazz Band and record several of their public radio programs, Riverwalk: Live from the Landing. When Christopher returned to New Orleans in 2001, his published research on the New Orleans clarinet style initiated pursuit of a Master's degree in Musicology at Tulane University. He began touring internationally and producing his “Clarinet Road” series of CDs (STR Digital). In August 2005, when Federal levees failed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina decimating the city, Christopher left again for Paris at the invitation of the French Embassy's Cultural Services division, where he formed his group, Django à la Créole. This Europe-based quartet fused Gypsy Swing with Latin-tinged grooves of New Orleans and beyond and was distinguished for an acoustic intimacy paired with driving swing. Critics charmed by the group queried, “Is there a more graceful band at work at the moment?” (THE SUNDAY TIMES UK). Three CDs for Lejazzetal (London), in partnership with Frémeaux & Associés (Paris)—Django à la Créole (2007), Finesse (2010), and LIVE! (2014)—earned the group critical attention worldwide for its elegant character. As a composer, Christopher's original songs are the high point of acclaimed recordings including Delta Bound (Arbors, 2007) featuring pianist Dick Hyman, The Remembering Song (Arbors, 2010) featuring guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, his clarinet feature on the Grammy-winning New Orleans Jazz Orchestra's Book One (2012) and his latest Clarinet Road CD, Bayou Chant & Other Textures (STR Digital, 2016). In July 2010, he had the honor to debut his Treat It Gentle Suite with the Minnesota Orchestra, which was the first concerto written for clarinet with band in the New Orleans style. Evan Christopher began his musical training on clarinet at age 11. In high school, he received the Louis Armstrong National Jazz Award and was one of the first graduates of the prestigious Idyllwild Arts Academy. He continued studies at the University of Southern California and graduated with honors from California State University, Long Beach. A brief teaching stint at the University of New Orleans saw the creation of a New Orleans music ensemble that performed with guest mentors such as Lucien Barbarin and Marcus Roberts. Since 2008, having returned once again to New Orleans, Christopher actively advocates for the cultural workforce and music education. He frequently tours with and records as a guest with forward-looking artists, while performances under his own name are often complemented by workshops and educational and community outreach. Occasional columns about the music scene and New Orleans culture written for NolaVie.com, evidence Evan's passion for the city's indigenous traditions.

Can you tell us about some of the Villa Albertine residencies? What are the challenges you encounter in bringing residents to the Villa Albertine?

Episode #42: May is Mental Health Awareness Month. In honor of this we explore the question “What is Your Soul Food?“ This episode is about self-care and the many ways we can attend to ourselves to support our mental health. But it is also about so much more than that! These “soul food” activities and practices also help us work through both large and small traumas and helps us feel more resilient when facing the challenges of life. When we find ways to feed our own soul, we find ourselves more internally resourced and, therefore, more available to be kind, feel compassion and lend support to others. In this show, we hear from some community members about the soul foods that nourish them. Host psychotherapist Debra Sloss and psychotherapist and grief and trauma specialist Kara Bowman discuss how soul foods support mental and physical health. We received such an array of different approaches from our listeners, that we made this this into a two-part series. Join us again next month for “Building Resilience: What's Your Soul Food? – Part 2” to hear more! We hope these two episodes help you relish your own soul food buffet! Broadcast: 5/1/22 Special thanks to Jeanne Baldzikowski for audio production, Jennifer Young for research and outreach, Leslie Nielsen for outreach and Izzy Weisz for marketing. And thanks to acoustic guitarist Adrian Legg for composing, performing, and donating the use of our theme music.

Suki shares more details about her Soul Foods… Listening to live music played by professionals or some random person on a street corner. Live music is Alive! Polished recordings are nice, but they do not offer living experiences. Taking up an instrument or singing. Don't be afraid to make music badly. Music played joyfully is great for the soul, whether the music maker is skillful or not! Curating my own social media. You hear a lot about social media's negative effects. However, social media helped me keep my connection to music alive during the pandemic. Seek out groups in your areas of interest that are run in a healthy way. If the conversation gets unhealthy, leave. Turn off all your negative social media "friends." Even if you love them as people, you don't have to let their mental ugliness into all of your waking hours. Use tools like Social Fixer to defeat social media algorithms. Those algorithms do not have your mental health in mind. Use your own social media feed to share with your friends in a healthy way.

Episode 16: I talk with David & Mike about the re-envisioning of the planetarium in Jackson, MS! I grew up going to the planetarium so it was fun to contemplate how our view of planetariums have changed so drastically with access to new technology, new documentation of space from the newly launched James Webb Space Telescope Launch, and private citizens access to space travel. Mike Williams: Director of Russell C. Davis PlanetariumMike Williams, Jackson native and a staunch space science education advocate and self-avowed cosmic nerd. After studying Mass Communications and Graphic Design at Jackson State, Mike embarked upon a career in music production and engineering, training at Malaco records and eventually going on to work on Grammy-nominated musical projects. Along the way his professional range grew to include web development, marketing, and video and film production, including years-long creative and marketing stints with Sean “P. Diddy” Combs Global Enterprises, production on MPB's Emmy-winning children's show Ed Said, projects with the Bravo!, OWN, and BET networks, Random House and Penguin Publishing, and a host of other media entities. After living in six different states and two countries, Mike arrived back in Jackson at its planetarium as a production technician, where he would 4 years later become its director. It was then that his new mission of advocacy began to crystallize, and his vision of revitalizing the planetarium began to take shape.David Lewis: Deputy Director of the Department of Human and Cultural Services for the City of Jackson, overseeing the Cultural Division.Born and raised in Belhaven, David is undeniably passionate about the city of Jackson.
