"content": "\u003cp>The 20th century American poet and essayist Joseph Moncure Marsh’s \u003cem>The Wild Party\u003c/em> is a singular piece of American poetry. Capturing the seamy-steamy atmosphere of a Prohibition-era blow out, it is lurid, epic, and written in a jazzy doggerel verse. March doesn’t even try to lay claim to a modernism that he was so clearly racing ahead of. Eliot, Pound, Crane, and Stevens might have filched bits of pop culture to give their poems a little shock of the real, but March’s masterpiece was the authentic thing — slimy, violent, alive, and cheap in its intentions and effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Translating trashy art from one form to another is tricky business, and the American musical’s roots have tended towards \u003cem>Sound of Music\u003c/em> wholesomeness, rather than March’s violent vision of love. But composer/lyricist/book writer Andrew Lippa’s musical version of March’s classic — also entitled \u003cem>The Wild Party —\u003c/em> catches it all and plays a few tricks of its own along the way. It’s as nutty and chancy as the poem, and in some ways more expansive, loose, and American in feel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11613416\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11613416 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"wildpartyproduction5\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Burrs (Paul Grant Hovannes) brews in Ray of Lights’ ‘The Wild Party.’ (Photo: Nick Otto)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>March found something mythic in the love story between showgirl Queenie and her clown of a boyfriend, Burrs, who actually is a clown. The role is played by a commanding Paul Grant Hovannes in \u003ca href=\"http://rayoflighttheatre.com/wild-party/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ray of Light Theatre\u003c/a>‘s production. You can feel the killer and the comic in Burr’s name, especially in the the way it slides off the tongue when Queenie (a fine Jocelyn Pickett) sings his name throughout the show. Every time you hear Burrs’ name, it jolts; those\u003cem> rrrrrr’s\u003c/em> smear contempt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we’re here for, though, is a party — the cure Queenie and Burrs seek for their failing relationship. And Lippa is an obliging host, delivering the goods with the slick verve of the slimiest paparazzi. Everything is frenzied, and yet each moment is vivid, distinct, and alive. The score, a mélange of jazz, blues, show tunes, rock, pop ballads, anything that gets Lippa to the brutal core of Queenie and Burrs’ desperate love, is loose yet elaborately structured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11613415\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11613415\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Ramond Thomas as Black sings of his despair for Queenie.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ramond Thomas as Black sings of his despair for Queenie. (Photo: Nick Otto)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And so Lippa can blindside you with real feeling, as if sleaze and an anything goes attitude were the fastest way to our hearts. When the mysterious Black (a sharp and understated Ramond Thomas) sings of his attraction to and despair for Queenie in his beautiful ballad, “Poor Child,” the broad, archetypal outlines of the characters turn shocking and real. The same is true when Queenie sings of Burrs’ violence, “Maybe I Like It This Way,” or Burrs’ scream of “\u003cem>Nooooooooooooooooo!\u003c/em>” at the end of the tiki lounge-inspired, “What Is It About Her.” These are real people, not jokes, and so we can suffer with them. And Party. And ruin our lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Marsh’s doggerel verse, Lippa’s \u003cem>Wild Party\u003c/em> is highly structured and always on the verge of spinning out of control. And the same compliment should be extended to Ray of Light’s vibrant, propulsive production. It’s not perfect and sometimes the acting and staging falters. But in their desire to get at the burning soul of real people, of real feeling, and of why self-destruction is sometimes preferable to just going on, the cast and crew give us a wild party that March would recognize — trashy, alive, and game to risk everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11613418\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11613418 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/WildParty_6-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"WildParty_6\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/WildParty_6-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/WildParty_6-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/WildParty_6-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/WildParty_6-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/WildParty_6-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/WildParty_6-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(L to R) Burrs (Paul Grant Hovannes), Queenie (Jocelyn Pickett), and Black (Ramond Thomas) are ready to go wild in Ray of Light’s ‘The Wild Party.’ (Photo: Erik Scanlon)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>The Wild Party\u003c/em> plays at the Victoria Theater in San Francisco through Saturday, Jun. 11. \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>For tickets and information head \u003ca href=\"http://www.rayoflighttheatre.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Also, San Jose Stage opens its own production of \u003cem>The Wild Party\u003c/em> on Wednesday, Jun. 1.

March doesn’t even try to lay claim to a modernism that he was so clearly racing ahead of. Eliot, Pound, Crane, and Stevens might have filched bits of pop culture to give their poems a little shock of the real, but March’s masterpiece was the authentic thing — slimy, violent, alive, and cheap in its intentions and effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Translating trashy art from one form to another is tricky business, and the American musical’s roots have tended towards \u003cem>Sound of Music\u003c/em> wholesomeness, rather than March’s violent vision of love. But composer/lyricist/book writer Andrew Lippa’s musical version of March’s classic — also entitled \u003cem>The Wild Party —\u003c/em> catches it all and plays a few tricks of its own along the way. It’s as nutty and chancy as the poem, and in some ways more expansive, loose, and American in feel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11613416\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11613416 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"wildpartyproduction5\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction5-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Burrs (Paul Grant Hovannes) brews in Ray of Lights’ ‘The Wild Party.’ (Photo: Nick Otto)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>March found something mythic in the love story between showgirl Queenie and her clown of a boyfriend, Burrs, who actually is a clown. The role is played by a commanding Paul Grant Hovannes in \u003ca href=\"http://rayoflighttheatre.com/wild-party/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ray of Light Theatre\u003c/a>‘s production. You can feel the killer and the comic in Burr’s name, especially in the the way it slides off the tongue when Queenie (a fine Jocelyn Pickett) sings his name throughout the show. Every time you hear Burrs’ name, it jolts; those\u003cem> rrrrrr’s\u003c/em> smear contempt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we’re here for, though, is a party — the cure Queenie and Burrs seek for their failing relationship. And Lippa is an obliging host, delivering the goods with the slick verve of the slimiest paparazzi. Everything is frenzied, and yet each moment is vivid, distinct, and alive. The score, a mélange of jazz, blues, show tunes, rock, pop ballads, anything that gets Lippa to the brutal core of Queenie and Burrs’ desperate love, is loose yet elaborately structured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11613415\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11613415\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Ramond Thomas as Black sings of his despair for Queenie.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/wildpartyproduction2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ramond Thomas as Black sings of his despair for Queenie.

When the mysterious Black (a sharp and understated Ramond Thomas) sings of his attraction to and despair for Queenie in his beautiful ballad, “Poor Child,” the broad, archetypal outlines of the characters turn shocking and real. The same is true when Queenie sings of Burrs’ violence, “Maybe I Like It This Way,” or Burrs’ scream of “\u003cem>Nooooooooooooooooo!\u003c/em>” at the end of the tiki lounge-inspired, “What Is It About Her.” These are real people, not jokes, and so we can suffer with them. And Party. And ruin our lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Two new releases span generations of influences, one a massive tribute to The Grateful Dead organized by members of the National with a wide-ranging roster of artists and approaches to the Dead's catalog -- the other a young band from East L.A. filtering several eras of punk, metal, goth and regular ol' rock into a freshly intense sound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Various Artists, “Day of the Dead”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even the hardest-core Deadheads might be stumped on hearing veteran Senegalese band Orchestra Baobab’s version of the Grateful Dead’s “Franklin’s Tower.” Originally a bouncy shuffle from the 1975 album “Blues for Allah,” here it’s turned into a burbly West African highlife dance tune. But it’s just one of the unexpected highlights of the very wide-ranging tribute album, \u003ca href=\"http://www.dayofthedeadmusic.com\">“Day of the Dead.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, it’s not a full day, but at 5½ hours it might be more Grateful Dead covers than most people really need. Even the most devoted Deadheads who followed the band on tour have collected countless hours of concert tapes and, in recent years, even snapped up such massive releases as the full run of every minute of every show on the famed Europe ’72 tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not to mention the many who have flocked to various post-Dead shows since Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995, through last summer’s Fare Thee Well shows with all the surviving members, into the current Dead & Co. with several of them joined by John Mayer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oddNibVais8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, “Day of the Dead” is a monumental labor of love, and one for a good cause, being the latest in the “Red Hot” tribute series dedicated to HIV/AIDS issues since its first album, “Red Hot + Blue” back in 1990. The loving laborers here are twin brothers Aaron and Bryce Dessner from the band the National, who conceived and produced this set with an imaginative, sweeping run of artists and approaches to the Dead’s iconic catalog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those enlisted, naturally, is a range of artists who have added their own creative stamp to American music. Wilco and the National (each in concert performances, joined by real live Deadster Bob Weir), Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Kurt Vile, Lucinda Williams, Flaming Lips, England’s Mumford & Sons, just to name a few. But what really gives this distinction are contributions from a variety of experimental and “serious” composers (a “Drums and Space” excursion teaming the band Man Forever with the So Percussion ensemble and art-rockers Oneida, and “Garcia Counterpoint,” fashioned by Bryce Dessner, who has been earning a reputation as a respected classical composer) and, in some ways most intriguingly, several African acts (South African group Tal National as well as Orchestra Baobab).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At times it seems a haphazard, hit-and-miss presentation. Just as Dead shows could be, of course. But often enough, the sequences are marked by flowing ideas, swooping from grace to power, from earthy American roots to time-stretching space, all with emotional resonance and sparkle. Just as Dead shows at their best could be, of course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bulk of the performers don’t stray too far from the Dead’s original versions. That’s OK. The architecture of the songs — mostly written by the team of Garcia and lyricist Robert Hunter, others by Bob Weir and John Perry Barlow, and still more folk and blues chestnuts — is sturdy. That’s what gave the Dead the framework in which to move in various directions in the course of a song, and a song’s evolution over the years. So here it allows some astute artists to give their own distinctive takes without straying too far from the blueprint. Courtney Barnett’s version of blues churner “New Speedway Boogie” is one such example. Jim James and Friends’ “Candyman” another. And one of the best is a bubbly, sunshine-filled take on “Sugaree,” teaming L.A. band Phosphorescent with singer Jenny Lewis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side of things, Marijuana Deathsquad (how could an act named that not be part of this project?) de- and re-constructs the anthemic narrative “Truckin’ ” into something in places closer to the Residents than the Dead. The Rileys strip Weir’s 7/4 reggae excursion “Estimated Prophet” of everything but its chord progression and then layer on bits of ambient and dissonant noise. The ensemble s t a r g a z e turns the already inner-space-exploring “What’s Become of the Baby” into an electronics-enhanced vocal chorale that could stand on the classical vocal circuit repertoire. And Vijay Iyer, the jazz star, turns “King Solomon’s Marbles,” originally a percussion-heavy instrumental from the 1975 album “Blues for Allah,” into an impressionist set of piano variations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCanZehKVD0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here and there, and arguably too rarely, an artist manages to keep the song’s essential spirit \u003ci>and \u003c/i>reset it in a new style altogether. The best of these may be where southern R&B belter Charles Bradley and the Menahan Street Band turn “Cumberland Blues,” originally a folk-country saga, into a sunk-soul grinder. To this point, the definitive Dead tributes were the two “Deadicated” collections from the mid-’90s. Those showed the wide appeal and affection for the Dead, with Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello and Perry Farrell among those paying tribute. “Day of the Dead” shows that, a couple of decades on from Jerry Garcia’s death, that embrace is even wider and stronger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stars at Night, “Stars at Night”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s just \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ci0ajuKXwA\">a crude iPhone video\u003c/a>, shot a few months ago at the Black Rose pub on Pico in Los Angeles.

It’s an edgy, uncertain balance that is at the core of some of the most exciting rock. And singer Irene Quiles manages to seem at once studied — she knows her Johnny, her Siouxsie, her Courtney — and combustibly spontaneous, as her bandmates fire away with dark fury.

Here we have what is still very much a local band, tied to its East L.A. and Echo Park roots — a generation or two on from Los Lobos, closer to that band’s musical kids (including the son of Louie Perez and daughter of Cesar Rosas with their band LP3 & the Tragedy) in spirit and cultural orientation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stars at Night hasn’t even been on a proper tour yet, though they are about to go to Europe, so there's a long way to go for Stars to make a mark.

A veteran vocalist and rising force on the Bay Area blues scene, she’d kept her politics off the bandstand. But after continuing reports of conflict between longtime African-American residents and recent Oaktown arrivals, she decided to sing out — which led to “Gentrification Blues,” the defiant opening track of her new album \u003cem>My Blue Soul\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was the church in West Oakland where people started calling the police and making noise complaints,” says Odabi, who celebrates the release of \u003cem>My Blue Soul\u003c/em> at \u003ca href=\"http://www.soundroom.org/#\">Oakland’s Sound Room\u003c/a> on June 11. “There were the drummers on Lake Merritt getting the police called on them. The lyrics just started coming to me.

They include people like double bassist Mark Dresser and saxophonist Oliver Lake – who also played at Sam Rivers' Studio Rivbea sessions. Booking Lake was an act of serendipity, Gelb says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One time a woman was at [my] cooking class and she's like, 'Oh, my friend Oliver Lake is going to be in town. Would you like to have him play here?' My jaw just dropped.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/GWwHvOCsyQk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, the meal is directly inspired by the artist. For instance, when musician Stuart Dempster played, Gelb whipped up multi-layered dishes as an homage to the trombonist's multi-layered sound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I first heard Stuart, it was one of his solo records, recorded in a big cathedral with a 13-second reverb,\" Gelb explains. \"What he was doing on that recording was playing a note, letting it resonate and then just stacking up layers on top of it, all using layers of natural reverb. ... We had an eggplant Napoleon with five different treatments of eggplants, all stacked on top of each other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other times, an ingredient itself becomes Gelb's muse, such as peaches grown on the Central Valley, Calif., farm of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/03/14/390148229/the-family-peach-farm-that-became-a-symbol-of-the-food-revolution\">Mas Masumoto\u003c/a>, a pioneering figure in the organic agriculture movement who first gained fame for his eloquent defense of heirloom peaches. \"I became a huge fan of him as a person ... and then I got to taste his peaches,\" Gelb says. Now, each summer, Gelb hosts a dinner in which each course features Masumoto's peaches – raw, roasted, grilled and served over salad, alcohol-marinated, in teas and smoothies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At just 750 square feet, the loft is an intimate space. The dinners and music playing take place in the kitchen, so cooking becomes part of the performance. The bassist Dresser once performed a solo while apples baked in an oven right behind him, Gelb says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/w1FCv5ltMPY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gelb is a vegan, and so are all of his locally sourced menus, which share with the entertainment the ethos of improvisation. For instance, a pistachio-matcha ice cream was born of a desire to blend two ingredients with the same beautiful green hue, he says. Then he and his sous chef tossed in some dried cherries. It's \"spur of the moment ideas that I would refer to as improvisation,\" he says. Just as musicians aren't expected to play a certain piece the same way each time, he says, chefs should feel free to riff off recipes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why this approach to cooking? \"Most chefs, when they're young, they're in the kitchen working with great chefs. I was on stage working with great musicians. And I went out to eat with them,\" says Gelb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_109631\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/soundandsavornewcrop2_custom-793f6b6f594047b67f95194c18b054719600091c-s800-c85-400x500.jpg\" alt=\"San Francisco Bay Area jazz saxophonist Howard Wiley performs at a Sound & Savor event.\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-109631\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/soundandsavornewcrop2_custom-793f6b6f594047b67f95194c18b054719600091c-s800-c85-400x500.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/soundandsavornewcrop2_custom-793f6b6f594047b67f95194c18b054719600091c-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/soundandsavornewcrop2_custom-793f6b6f594047b67f95194c18b054719600091c-s800-c85-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco Bay Area jazz saxophonist Howard Wiley performs at a Sound & Savor event. \u003ccite>(Hannah Kaminsky)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Gelb's vegan repertoire is wide-ranging: His cookbook runs the gamut from Mexican to Chinese to Jewish soul food.

Gelb estimates well over 1,000 guests have paid for the pleasure of dinner and a show at his loft. (Tickets usually go for about $60 each.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Underground restaurants have been around for a long time,\" Gelb says. \"So have house concerts.

Would you like to have him play here?' My jaw just dropped.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/GWwHvOCsyQk'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/GWwHvOCsyQk'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Sometimes, the meal is directly inspired by the artist. For instance, when musician Stuart Dempster played, Gelb whipped up multi-layered dishes as an homage to the trombonist's multi-layered sound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I first heard Stuart, it was one of his solo records, recorded in a big cathedral with a 13-second reverb,\" Gelb explains. \"What he was doing on that recording was playing a note, letting it resonate and then just stacking up layers on top of it, all using layers of natural reverb. ... We had an eggplant Napoleon with five different treatments of eggplants, all stacked on top of each other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other times, an ingredient itself becomes Gelb's muse, such as peaches grown on the Central Valley, Calif., farm of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/03/14/390148229/the-family-peach-farm-that-became-a-symbol-of-the-food-revolution\">Mas Masumoto\u003c/a>, a pioneering figure in the organic agriculture movement who first gained fame for his eloquent defense of heirloom peaches. \"I became a huge fan of him as a person ... and then I got to taste his peaches,\" Gelb says. Now, each summer, Gelb hosts a dinner in which each course features Masumoto's peaches – raw, roasted, grilled and served over salad, alcohol-marinated, in teas and smoothies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At just 750 square feet, the loft is an intimate space. The dinners and music playing take place in the kitchen, so cooking becomes part of the performance. The bassist Dresser once performed a solo while apples baked in an oven right behind him, Gelb says.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/w1FCv5ltMPY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/w1FCv5ltMPY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Gelb is a vegan, and so are all of his locally sourced menus, which share with the entertainment the ethos of improvisation. For instance, a pistachio-matcha ice cream was born of a desire to blend two ingredients with the same beautiful green hue, he says. Then he and his sous chef tossed in some dried cherries. It's \"spur of the moment ideas that I would refer to as improvisation,\" he says. Just as musicians aren't expected to play a certain piece the same way each time, he says, chefs should feel free to riff off recipes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why this approach to cooking? \"Most chefs, when they're young, they're in the kitchen working with great chefs. I was on stage working with great musicians. And I went out to eat with them,\" says Gelb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_109631\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/soundandsavornewcrop2_custom-793f6b6f594047b67f95194c18b054719600091c-s800-c85-400x500.jpg\" alt=\"San Francisco Bay Area jazz saxophonist Howard Wiley performs at a Sound & Savor event.\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-109631\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/soundandsavornewcrop2_custom-793f6b6f594047b67f95194c18b054719600091c-s800-c85-400x500.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/soundandsavornewcrop2_custom-793f6b6f594047b67f95194c18b054719600091c-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/soundandsavornewcrop2_custom-793f6b6f594047b67f95194c18b054719600091c-s800-c85-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco Bay Area jazz saxophonist Howard Wiley performs at a Sound & Savor event. \u003ccite>(Hannah Kaminsky)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Gelb's vegan repertoire is wide-ranging: His cookbook runs the gamut from Mexican to Chinese to Jewish soul food.
