At 12 years old, this musician and composer is already active on the local music scene in New Orleans. Katy Hobgood Ray interviews Arlo for Confetti Park. In a recent interview, New Orleans based music prodigy Arlo McCracken Allen shared insights into his musical journey that began at the young age of four when he first sat at a piano. Arlo quickly progressed from playing at home to performing with his dad's band (Luke Allen, Happy Talk Band) and other notable musicians. Arlo plays piano and cello, but he loves electronic music. Influenced by video game music creator Toby Fox, Arlo aspires to compose soundtracks for games and films. He enjoys creating electronic music using tools like Logic Pro X and making animations. Arlo even created a piece displayed on a large projection for an audience at Luna Fete, working with artist Courtney Egan. Currently at Homer Plessy middle school, Arlo is preparing to attend NOCCA, a school for creative arts. He is actively involved in collaborative projects, including the development of a video game with friends for which he composed the main menu theme. In this interview with Confetti Park, Arlo offers advice to other young musicians -- on how to get started playing music, and on finding confidence to perform. Despite having stage fright, playing music liberates him, allowing him to connect deeply with his audience. Arlo's vision is to continue building his portfolio and expand his reach through platforms like YouTube. Whether flying solo or collaborating with others, Arlo McCracken Allen's passion for music is undeniable. We're excited to watch his journey! Thanks for sharing your talent with Confetti Park, Arlo! Confetti Park is supported by the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation and Music Rising at Tulane University.

When Drew Brees was The Saints' quarterback he was regularly out and about in New Orleans. If you ran into him, you couldn't help noticing that for a guy who had such a dominating presence on a football field, there didn't seem to be anything physically exceptional about him. But when he played the game, Drew had an ability to size up what was happening, and he could see opportunities that other players couldn't. There are similar types of people in business. Seemingly regular guys who are looking at the same business landscape we're all looking at, but somehow, they see multiple opportunities most of us don't. And they create multiple successful businesses in a way most business-people can't. For example, Jayson Seidman and Alex Pomes. Jayson Seidman is founder and Principal Managing Partner of a company called Sandstone. With offices in the Texas hill country and New Orleans, Sandstone principally develops boutique hotels and commercial mixed-use properties. They have hotels in Texas, New York, New Orleans, Costa Rica, and Australia. Here in New Orleans, their properties include The Drifter, The Hotel Saint Vincent, The Frenchmen, and Columns – till recently known as The Columns Hotel – which is where Peter, Alex, and Jayson had lunch while recording this podcast. Jayson's mother is from New Orleans. His dad went to Tulane. Jayson grew up in Houston, where he was a child actor at Theater Under The Stars, which calls itself “Houston's home for musical theater.” Alex Pomes is also a one-time musical theater actor turned entrepreneur. Alex is a New Orleans native who graduated from NOCCA in musical theater. His first taste of business was cinnamon. In 2010, Alex was hired as website manager, social media point person and Brand Ambassador for a then small whisky company, called Fireball. Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know that the marketing of Fireball Whisky is one of the most successful alcohol marketing campaigns, ever. In 2011 Fireball had under $2m in sales. By 2014, sales were $800m. That experience gave Alex the confidence to launch his own alcohol label, Ghost Tequila. It's tequila that's actually made in Tequila Mexico, infused with Ghost Peppers. Alex is also the founder of a local marketing company, RAPJAB, that specializes in creative campaigns for breweries, bars and events. And Alex is the co-founder of NOLA Underground Pickleball, the no-frills community-driven pickleball league whose sponsors range from White Claw to Walmart. If there's one thing we're not short of in New Orleans, it's people with a story to tell. Whether you're at a music festival, waiting for a parade to roll by, or just in line at the supermarket, the New Orleanian next to you is happy to talk to you. And - often without much encouragement - they'll more-than-likely tell you something fascinating. But, even in this city of storytellers and stories, it's hard to beat the variety of tales and business ventures from Jayson and Alex. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

Today's interview is with Lenny Zenith. Lenny Zenith is a transgender singer songwriter and has completed his first memoir. It was edited by Kelly Caldwell of Gotham Writers Group and Lambda Literary Award winner Donna Minkiewicz, who wrote Furious Romance and Growing Up Gollum. He has fronted several bands in New Orleans and New York, and has opened for internationally touring acts U2, Iggy Pop, Gang of Four, Ellen DeGeneres, and more. and the replacements, among many others. Lenny transitioned in junior high school and later attended NOCCA, the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts, home to alumni such as Winton and Branford Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr., and Terrence Blanchard. Zenith came close to securing a deal with a major record label, only for the execs to get cold feet over Zenith's gender identity. Lenny has spoken on LGBT panels at the University of Michigan, the New York Public Library, and Marymount College, where he has discussed the intersection of race, class, and gender, and has read excerpts from his upcoming memoir, Before I Was Me, at Queer Memoir in New York City. He performs regularly in New York City and New Orleans, and his band wowed the audience at Austin's Gender Unbound Festival in 2019. Lenny's website: lennyzenith.com"Where is Safe" video

Who taught you how to cook? Perhaps it was a favorite family member or Julia Child on public television. Maybe you devour cookbooks on the weekend just for fun. The education of a professional chef can be just varied – be it a formal degree or on-the-job training. On this week's show, we explore culinary learning. We begin at one of Louisiana's educational treasures, the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. To mark this milestone, we revisit our trip to the school's Marigny neighborhood campus. There, chefs Emeril Lagasse and Dana D'Anzi Tuohy explain the origins of NOCCA's celebrated Culinary Arts program. Then, chef and cooking school director Dee Lavigne talks with us about African American chef and entrepreneur Lena Richard. By the 1940s, Richard had become the Crescent City's premier caterer, educator, and the first local TV food personality. Finally, we look outside of the state to learn how Anne Willan achieved legendary success on both sides of the pond. Founder of the prestigious La Varenne Cooking School, which operated in Paris and Burgundy, France from 1975 until 2007, Anne's also a prolific author whose award-winning cookbooks are available in 35 different languages.

Jason is the son of pianist and music educator Ellis Marsalis and his wife Dolores, and the youngest sibling of Wynton, Branford and Delfeayo. Together, the four brothers and their patriarch Ellis, comprise New Orleans venerable first family of jazz. By age six, not only had Jason gotten his first real drum set, but he was also taking lessons from the legendary New Orleans drummer James Black. At age seven he was sitting in with his father's jazz group, as well as playing with his trombonist brother Delfeayo. Jason was progressing so rapidly as a drummer that in 1984 his father started using him consistently on engagements. Jason was starting to become a seasoned road veteran before the age of nine, even traveling to the prestigious Berklee School of Music in Boston for Delfeayo's senior recital. Shortly after graduation from NOCCA high school in 1995, Marsalis ascended to the drum throne of a new group lead by virtuoso pianist and former sideman for Wynton Marsalis, Marcus Roberts. Despite a demanding touring schedule with Roberts, Marsalis furthered his educational goals by attending Loyola University in New Orleans, as well as studying composition with Roger Dickerson at Southern University.

Despite a demanding touring schedule with Roberts, Marsalis furthered his educational goals by attending Loyola University in New Orleans, as well as studying composition with Roger Dickerson at Southern University. The sense of style and tastefulness that Marsalis exhibits in his playing explains why is a highly sought after musician. This style has been well documented on recordings with artists such as the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Marcus Printup and Marcus Roberts to name but a few. He has also produced two albums under his own name, Year of the Drummer (1998) and Music in Motion (2000), as well as producing a reissue of his father’s earlier recorded work, Syndrome (1996).
Finally! The episode Retro has been determined to make a reality from the beginning. (Ok. Creole was pretty damn excited too.) This week, we welcome world-renowned artist Terrance Osborne, known for his colorful works of art capturing the beauty of New Orleans culture. We discuss everything from his time at NOCCA, college, and his time as a teacher before becoming an artist full-time. Terrance also talks about his family, marriage, surviving the pandemic. https://terranceosborne.com/ https://www.instagram.com/terranceosborne/

Whether you're making custom furniture or building a hotel, when you ask people the secret to success in business, there are two schools of thought. On the one hand, you're given this advice: Pick one thing that you understand, that you're good at, and specialize in that. And then there's the other school of thought. It says, because all markets are unpredictable, the only way to be sure you'll succeed is diversify. So, which path is the secret to success? Specialization? Or diversification? Peter Ricchiuti's guests on Out to Lunch today are, strangely, on both paths at the same time. They're specialists, who are diversifying. Louis Scott is the owner of a company called Tectonic Designs. The interesting thing about Tectonic Designs' diversification is, it's a one-man company. Louis is a master craftsman in wood. He designs and builds furniture. He does architectural renovations, and all kinds of carpentry. And, Louis is a master craftsman in steel. He makes things like wrought iron fences, metal awnings, and more. David Fuselier is a contractor in his family business, Perle Construction. They're a construction company that does rebuilds and renovations, as well as new construction. Now here's the diversification: David has founded an allied company with partner Patrick Schoen, called Schoen & Fuselier. Schoen & Fuselier are a property development company. They buy properties to develop, and contract Perle Construction to do the development. Their most visible current project is the Crescent Hotel, on the river near NOCCA. Out to Lunch is recorded over lunch at Commander's Palace. To see photos from this show by Jill Lafleur and more, visit our website. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Original work from 4th year Creative Writing students from the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. Originally aired on December 15th 2018.
This week we start off talking about how we taught a visual poetry workshop at NOCCA and how that went, but as we talk about teaching, what we learned, and how best to present poetry, we spiral off into some interesting linguistic features of speech and how that relates to poetry and visual poetry.

Connect with Jason Here: http://jasonmarsalis.com/ Connect with us Here: http://secondlinearts.org Bio: From a tender young age, it was clear that Jason Marsalis had what it took to be great. Jason is the son of pianist and music educator Ellis Marsalis and his wife Dolores, and the youngest sibling of Wynton, Branford and Delfeayo. Together, the four brothers and their patriarch Ellis, comprise New Orleans venerable first family of jazz. Ellis and Dolores began to cultivate Jason's interest in music at age three, with the purchase of a toy set of drums. Jason is fond of telling the story of a game he and his parents would play with the drums. “When I was three, my parents bought me a toy drum set and the used to introduce me to an imaginary audience. They would say, ‘Ladies and gentleman introducing the fabulous Jason!' and I would come out and start banging away much to my parents delight. I too enjoyed it to the point that I started to go up to my parents unsolicited and say, ‘Dad, introduce me again!'” By age six, not only had Jason gotten his first real drum set, but he was also taking lessons from the legendary New Orleans drummer James Black. At age seven he was sitting in with his father's jazz group, as well as playingwith his trombonist brother Delfeayo. Jason was progressing so rapidly as a drummer that in 1984 his father started using him consistently on engagements. Jason was starting to become a seasoned road veteran before the age of nine, even traveling to the prestigious Berklee School of Music in Boston for older brother Delfeayo's recital. Though Jason had also taken up violin at age five, drums remained his primary focus throughout his grade school years. However, in his last year living in Richmond, VA,it was as a member of a junior youth orchestra that he first discovered the percussion section. The following year, Jason gave up the violin and focused exclusively on percussion. In 1991, he auditioned and was accepted to the acclaimed New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts High School (NOCCA). Throughout his high school years he continued to hone his skills by playing gigs with his father and brothers, as well as studying orchestral percussion techniques at the venerable Eastern Music Festival. Shortly after graduation from NOCCA in 1995, Marsalis ascended to the drum throne of a new group lead by virtuoso pianist and former sideman for Wynton Marsalis, Marcus Roberts. Despite a demanding touring schedule with Roberts, Marsalis furthered his educational goals by attending Loyola University in New Orleans, as well as studying composition with notable classical composer, Roger Dickerson. While Marsalis made appearances with such international jazz luminaries as Joe Henderson and Lionel Hampton, he was visible on the New Orleans scene working with a diverse cross section of bands from Casa Samba (Brazilian), Neslort (jazz fusion) Summer Stages (children's theater), Dr. Michael White (traditional jazz) and many others. It was in 1998 that he co-founded the Latin-jazz group Los Hombres Calientes. While recording two albums with the group, Marsalis also produced two albums under his own name, Year of the Drummer (1998) and Music in Motion (2000), as well as producing reissues and current recordings of his father on their self-owned label, ELM Records. In 2000, Jason left the Los Hombres group to attain more focus with the Marcus Roberts trio. It was around that time the Marsalis started to play the... Support this podcast
On this week s show, we re going back to school for no ordinary education. We begin with Chef Jeremiah Tower, whose book, Table Manners, offers a 21st century guide to being a better host and guest. Jeremiah s lessons on etiquette and "techiquette" come from a decades long career owning and operating restaurants from California to Hong Kong. Then, we meet some of the students of Big Class, a literacy program in New Orleans that uses food as an entry point for creative writing projects. In 2018, they will become part of the 826 National network, founded by author Dave Eggers. We also take an in depth look at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts NOCCA and their flourishing Culinary Arts division the only chef s training program offered at the high school level in the nation. The program s inception was due, in no small part, to Chef Emeril Lagasse. We meet Emeril on NOCCA s campus for the backstory. After hearing so much about the program, we get to see it in action with Dana Tuohy, Culinary Department Chair, at the school s teaching kitchen. Next, we step outside to Press Street Gardens, an urban farm and outdoor learning laboratory on the edge of NOCCA s campus. We find manager Marguerite Green at the garden s gate. For the final stop on our tour of NOCCA s culinary program, we return to where we started Press Street Station, a working restaurant open to the general public. We meet Chef James Cullen to learn how the restaurant furthers the students s hands on education, as well as what you can expect to find on their menu. And we speak with Louisiana born blogger and writer Kelly Williams Brown, author of Adulting How to Become a Grown up in 468 Easy ish Steps.

Gregory and I discuss the complexities of love, life, art and success. His latest release entitled Words Are Not Enough places emphasis on the many faces of love or the lack thereof. We also have a great exchange about identity and community. Shining a spotlight on the role our communities play in our everyday lives.

He got his first clarinet at the age of seven—and when his family moved to New Orleans five years later, Agid discovered jazz. After attending Louis Armstrong Jazz Camp, where he learned from legendary musicians Alvin Batiste, Kidd Jordan, and Clyde Kerr, Agid was accepted to the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA). Here, Batiste became his mentor. “Alvin Batiste once told me that the clarinet is also like a jealous mistress, and the moment you don't give her the attention she wants, she becomes spiteful and unruly,” Agid remembers. Agid's NOCCA classmates included Grammy-nominated trombonist and trumpet player Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, Grammy-nominated trumpet player Christian Scott, and pianist Jonathan Batiste. In 2005, NOCCA awarded Agid a grant to study with clarinetist Eddie Daniels at Daniels' home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. While earning his bachelor's degree in clarinet performance from Loyola University New Orleans, Agid dove into performing. In addition to playing alongside Delfeayo Marsalis and the Uptown Jazz Orchestra, the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, and Kristina Morales, he leads the Gregory Agid Quartet and performs regularly in the New Orleans area, Nationally, and Internationally. Agid graduated from Loyola in 2010, and released his debut album, Mystery Blues, in 2013. The following year, he completed his master's degree in music at the University of New Orleans. Agid's sophomore record, Words Are Not Enough, will be released winter 2016 Support this podcast

The origins of Waterseed begin in New Orleans, the birthplace of multi-instrumentalists Lou Hill and J Sharp, the architects of Water Seed’s cool, elemental sound. Preternaturally aware of their paths fairly early, Hill began playing the alto sax in fourth grade while Sharp was developing his piano chops over the three-notes of “Hot Crossed Buns” at the tender age of five. Both learned as children to respect their crafts through studious dedication, rigorous practice schedules, and trying their hand at several different instruments before landing on their primary tools of musical expression, the percussion for Hill and the keys for Sharp, each finding their home. Sharp reared in a home of classical music, engaged in demanding training while nursing concerto circuit dreams. Hill was immersed in the radio R&B and funk of the day and the jazz culture of his storied surroundings. Both formally trained in esteemed music programs, Sharp through the famed NOCCA, the Jazz and Heritage School at Southern University and Dillard University, Hill at the venerated Xavier University. Enter Pasadena bred flautist, Cinese. Inspired by the legendary Bobbi Humphrey, the orchestral-trained Cinese switched to jazz after a 10-year business and school-led hiatus with music. Answering a Craigslist ad for Water Seed, Cinese learned her classical meets jazz foundation found nice complements with Hill and Sharp’s, rounding out their sound. Now, with a 5 piece band that eventually included bass player Marius Tilton and lead vocalist Ryan Johnson, the concept albums soon followed. Their self-released, experimental 2006 EP debut, Two Words, uncovered an avant-garde Water Seed sound, developed enough notice to garner the band an audience & brief attention from Sony Music.
