In her twenties\, she worked as a photographer\, primarily with musicians\, including work that appeared on Grammy Award–winning records. At 24\, she became business and archive manager to Herman Leonard\, a role she held for a decade—and one that shaped everything that came after. \nAfter her early work as a photographer and her time with Leonard\, Bagert shifted to full-time work with artists and collections\, founding Jenny Bagert Consulting to focus on producing and managing photographic projects. She continues this work today and\, in 2020\, started Ground Control Consulting\, where she works on large-scale\, mission-driven projects with nonprofits. She is based in New Orleans\, her hometown and where she most wants to be.

SUMMARY:Art Studi-O
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Shawn Hall in an exploration of acrylic painting and visual language in this workshop inspired by the exhibition Vicinal Visions. Participants will investigate the concept of vicinal\, which suggests the development of a personal\, localized visual language.  \nSome painting experience is helpful but not necessary. What is necessary is a conceptual interest in an idea to express\, be that about nature\, a personal experience or something about the world around you. With their personal interest in mind\, participants will be asked to develop an idea through symbolic or gestural language while mixing colors from a basic palette. Participants will develop their idea through one or more paintings. By the end of the workshop\, participants will have explored their own visual language through gesture and color. \nAll materials are provided. Must be 18 or older to attend.\nThe workshop includes a brief tour of the exhibition Vicinal Visions. \nQuestions?

He was a section leader\, no less\, in a town where marching bands duel like decked-out demons in the street. School also gave John the chance to sing\, first at talent shows and then with street a capella groups—groups named\, listen\, “Spirit” and then “Remnant.” Linger for a moment on those names and then let them resonate an instant longer—street bands singing on the bricks of a town where “street singer” is still a respectable job title. Take another moment and stir in the spices of the music that was on the turntables of his older brothers and sisters\, the music that ruled the street and raised the spirits: Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye\, the Jackson 5 and Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. During these years\, traditional jazzmen like Paul Barbarin\, Louis “Big Eye” Nelson and Danny Barker became both John’s friends and mentors. John’s sister\, Lillian Boutté\, introduced the young stylist to local legends like Dr. John\, Allen Toussaint and James Booker. \nAfter high school\, Boutté studied at Xavier University\, a Black Catholic institution known in New Orleans and throughout the Deep South. After graduating\, he was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army and provided with the opportunity to direct and sing in Army gospel choirs in Virginia\, Texas and eventually Korea. It was in Korea\, ironically\, when singing gospel and deep blues after hours in restaurants he had only accidentally entered\, that John Boutté began to know himself as an American\, an artist and a person. Not long after his return to the United States\, Boutté was invited to tour almost the entirety of Europe with his sister Lillian. Europe was a set of lessons in languages\, cultures and customs\, which gave him a chance to meditate on the very idea of a life led as a jazz singer. \nWhen Boutté eventually returned home to New Orleans\, he continued singing. But now there was a new generation\, a new breed of musicians available\, musicians like Herlin Riley\, Shannon Powell\, Nicholas Payton and Brian Blade. He began to open shows for the likes of Mel Tormé\, Lou Rawls\, Rosemary Clooney and\, most recently\, Herbie Hancock. In recent years\, he has recorded three CDs: Through the Eyes of a Child\, Scotch and Soda and the remarkable Jambalaya\, recorded for Bose. Another CD\, Gospel United\, a concert recording arranged in Denmark\, contains his remarkable solo arrangement of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic\,” which has achieved gold record status in several European markets. \nSometimes you can hear him singing\, sometimes whistling or sometimes faintly from the street as he sits at his piano singing a Korean lullaby. Boutté’s job is to sing—to sing jazz with such style and grace that no one ever mistakes him for anything other than a master. John is one of those remarkable cases where the art arises from the true heart. To know John Boutté is to hold onto the coattails of a butterfly. To hear him sing is to feel a brief touch of the wing. \nListen to john boutté \n\n\nAbout Ogden After Hours \nOgden After Hours (OAH) is a special event that features a diverse lineup of programs reflecting and celebrating the diversity of Southern art and culture. Bringing the whole family? Each OAH offers a unique art activity table for kids to enjoy! \n  \n/// Image credit: Brennon Fain
