Bruce Springsteen, John Fogerty, Widespread Panic and more saluted Dr. John at the Saenger The Dr. John tribute/celebration staged at the Saenger Theatre on Saturday, May 3, made one thing abundantly clear. His musician fans and admirers are as varied, and noteworthy, as his catalog. That "The Musical Mojo of Dr. John: A Celebration of Mac and His Music" opened with NBC anchor Brian Williams introducing surprise guest Bruce Springsteen spoke to the night's level of star power. In the model of the New Orleans Jazz Fest, "Musical Mojo" alternated "guest" artists and local favorites, all performing the songs of Mac "Dr. John" Rebennack. Rebennack scheduled no other appearances during Jazz Fest other than the Saenger event. Even then, he performed only a handful of songs, leaving it to the crackerjack house band and parade of stars to bring his repertoire to life. The four-hour show moved along briskly, with smart pairings of performers and songs. And if the show's producers - the same team that staged a similarly star-studded salute to Gregg Allman in Atlanta in May - were hoping for an enthusiastic audience, they got one. Ticket prices ranged up to $500, but the sold-out crowd was anything but stuffy. Many in the audience spent the night up and dancing. The audience seemed to include at least as many, if not more, out-of-towners as locals. My row included a couple from Los Angeles, a couple of Jazz Fest veterans from Oakland, Calif., a guy I went to high school with, and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench. Anticipation ran high every time the show's announcer intoned, "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...." Almost anyone, it seemed, might emerge. Barely two hours after concluding his two-and-a-half hour Jazz Fest show and escaping the Fair Grounds, still soaked in sweat, in a black SUV, Springsteen joined Rebennack to recreate "Right Place, Wrong Time." In a sense, Springsteen was returning a favor: Rebennack guested with the E Street Band during the 2012 Jazz Fest. Rebennack stuck around to accompany Aaron Neville and his saxophonist brother Charles for "Please Send Me Someone to Love." A rotating cast of featured artists then took over. Guitarist Anders Osborne and drummer Bill Kreutzmann of the Grateful Dead. The Blind Boys of Alabama. A radiant Irma Thomas. Meters bassist George Porter Jr. and drummer Zigaboo Modeliste, teaming up on a joyous "Junco Partner," goosed by Brint Anderson's slide guitar. Like the headliners, the house band mixed local and visiting talent. The locals included Anderson, fellow guitarist Brian Stoltz, organist John "Papa" Gros, trombonist Mark Mullins, saxophonist Khris Royal and trumpeter Bobby Campo. The pinch-hitters included Kenny Aronoff, one of the busiest and most versatile session drummers in contemporary rock 'n' roll; Chuck Leavell, the Rolling Stones' longtime touring keyboardist; bassist and producer Don Was, the show's musical director; and vocal trio the McCrary Sisters, the only members of Rebennack's regular band featured in the "Mojo" house band. South Louisiana guitarist Tab Benoit stuck stinging guitar lines into "Stagger Lee." Americana singer Shannon McNally dedicated her song to the late Herman Ernest, Rebennack's longtime drummer and confidant, and Louisiana songwriter Bobby Charles. Former Radiators frontman Dave Malone, as enthusiastic as ever, bounded onstage with, "Hey, ya'll!" and "Goodnight Irene." Mardi Gras Indian Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, resplendent in a pink Indian suit, led a "Big Chief" that closed the first half of the show. Widespread Panic, backed by the Dirty Dozen Brass Band's horns, opened the second set with a highlight of the night: "How Come My Dog Don't Bark When You Come Around." The cragginess in Panic vocalist John Bell's voice is not unlike a certain Dr.'s. And he understood, and conveyed, the humor in the lyric. Widespread's second song - just about everyone else only did one - was "Familiar Reality." Guitarist Jimmy Herring's typically rich, typically tidy and relatively modest solo handed off to percussionist Domingo "Sunny" Ortiz, drummer Todd Nance and keyboardist John "JoJo" Hermann, all of whom are well versed in the sounds and style of New Orleans. "God bless Dr. John!" Bell enthused. Perhaps appropriately, the honoree was involved in one of the night's few head-scratching, off-script moments. A producer of the show emerged from the wings with Rebennack and an oversize check. The $5,200 check, the producer said, was a donation to the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic. Rebennack, however, said the money would be used to bury his "podna" - the guy from Los Angeles seated next to me wondered aloud what a "podna" was - Larry Bannock, Big Chief of the Golden Star Hunters Mardi Gras Indian tribe, who died on April 30. "I just want to be able to bury our podna, Larry Bannock," Rebennack continued, as the room quieted. "A true podna." Chuck Leavell got the party started again. At age 19, he auditioned for Dr. John's band, and spent the next few months on the road. "I call that period of my life my college 'ed-ju-ma-cation,'" he cracked, in a convincing approximation of Rebennack's distinct dialect. He went on to approximate Rebennack's piano style in "Traveling Mood." Allman Brothers guitarist Warren Haynes, who headlined the Saenger on May 2 with Gov't Mule, fired up his slide guitar for a hard-driving "You Lie." (Haynes' bandmate Gregg Allman was a no-show at Mojo, as was Lucinda Williams.) Local favorite John Boutte navigated "Sing, Sing, Sing" with gusto. Austin guitarist Jimmie Vaughan, after giving a shout-out to his young daughters, knocked out "Let the Good Times Roll." Mavis Staples brought "When I Lay My Burden Down" to church. Singer-songwriter Ryan Bingham went "Back by the River." John Fogerty, who sat in with the E Street Band at the Fair Grounds earlier Saturday, emerged at 20 minutes past midnight to sing of Mississippi queens in "New Orleans." Rebennack returned for a smoky rendering of "Without You," graced by an especially soulful and elegant Terence Blanchard trumpet solo. Sarah Morrow, the musical director in Rebennack's band, laid down growling trombone in a swampy, spooky "Walk on Guilded Splinters." Rebennack took two spry piano solos on a high-stepping "Such a Night." The high-flying house band played him off-stage, to a huge ovation. In the encore, he took a brief turn on guitar. Just after 1 a.m., many of the night's featured artists - Cyril and Charles Neville, Haynes, Porter, Benoit, McNally, Bingham, Malone, Bell, Vaughan, the Blind Boys, Thomas, Boutte - returned for the finale: A free-wheeling "Iko Iko." Earlier, Rebennack had, in song, pronounced himself "the king of New Orleans funk." Saturday night served as his coronation. ----------------------- (This review is accurate, except that Gregg Allman was not able to make the show.) Springsteen Surprises at Dr. John's All-Star Tribute in New Orleans Allen Toussaint, Gregg Allman, Mavis Staples and more perform for and with the legendary pianist Bruce Springsteen performs The Musical Mojo of Dr. John: A Celebration of Mac & His Music BY PAUL DE REVERE | May 5, 2014 Brian Williams – yes, the dry-witted NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams – introduced Friday's "The Musical Mojo of Dr. John: A Celebration of Mac & His Music" with a warning: "I don't know if you have shoulder harnesses," he told the crowd at New Orleans' historic Saenger Theatre, "but strap in." Williams, sure enough, wasn't kidding, and the following four-hour tribute to the master R&B pianist and singer-songwriter turned out to be a spectacular event, one undoubtedly worthy of the DVD release this is scheduled to receive. Although the night could've used a charismatic emcee – Williams introduced only the first of many surprise guests – it sure started strong, with Bruce Springsteen playing "Right Place Wrong Time" (off Dr. John's 1973 In the Right Place) alongside the Doctor himself. According to event organizers, Springsteen wasn't billed for the event in part because he had only been booked a few days prior, and a couple hours earlier, he and his E Street Band played an almost three-hour set at the nearby New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Bruce took off after his performance, presumably to get some much deserved rest, but the show continued with a procession of performers worthy of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, or even The Last Waltz. Backed by an all-star band led by musical director Don Was, Allen Toussaint (who has been a Creole character foil for Dr. John's ragin' Cajun), Anders Osborne ("Dr. John!" Osborne said between his two songs, "Can't find a bigger influence on me than that"), former Drive-By Trucker Jason Isbell, local soul singer Irma Thomas and gospel group the Blind Boys of Alabama all followed. The night's honoree, meanwhile, returned to join Aaron and Charles Neville in playing "Please Send Me Someone to Love," a Percy Mayfield song that he had once recorded with Odetta. Other than this and the Springsteen performance, the 73-year-old Dr. John – his given name is Malcolm John Rebennack, Jr. but here mostly referred to as either "Doc" or "Mac" – mostly remained on the side. When John returned, however, whether to jam with another musician or accept $5,200 donation made in to the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic in his name – he was always warmly received. This was never more true than at the end of the night, when, as is common practice with these sorts of tributes, the stage was filled with the majority of the earlier lineup and a handful of guests, a group that this night included John Fogerty, Mavis Staples, John Boutté, Widespread Panic, several members of the Original Meters, Gregg Allman, Tab Benoit, Ryan Bingham, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux and Warren Haynes. All piled onto the stage for "Iko Iko," a traditional Mardi Gras Indian funk anthem that Dr. John helped popularize on his 1972 record Dr. John's Gumbo.
