Both Venmo and PayPal created another task for Devin — withdrawing money out of these platforms into his own bank account. For $10, supporters can buy a Bean Coin, the equivalent to a $10 bar tab at local joints. Customers can cash them in starting in 2021, presumably when the virus will be under control. Using their dedicated parade fan-base, the Krewe of Red Beans launched their first initiative with a $60 food order and an Instagram post.

The first voice or lead melody is usually the cornet or trumpet, though some early jazz bands used the violin. The second voice, or obbligato, is usually the clarinet, but can also be the violin or saxophone. The interaction of the three instruments creates a melodic polyphony, which is in contrast to the solo melody statements of modern jazz styles, which came after New Orleans jazz in the mid-1920s. Collective improvisation among these instruments can involve a three-way “call and response.” The first voice will state a theme or melody, and the second and third voices will then make a melodic statement in response it. The overall affect is a musical conversation, in which the first and second voices respond to one another, and the deeper third voice provides a bass-level counterpoint.

Krewe of Red Beans founder Devin De Wulf, who led the effort, said his goal was to push an infusion of cash to local restaurants to help them stay afloat.

As of April 19, the Feed the Front Line NOLA had sent over 60,000 meals to doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers engaged directly with COVID-19 patients, spending $566,000 in the local economy so far. “We chose the name Feed the Front Line NOLA because the hospital workers were the ones protecting us,” says De Wulf.

The first female mayor of the City of New Orleans, LaToya Cantrell has faced an unprecedented set of challenges during her first term. The loss of human life during the pandemic was felt acutely in the mayor’s office, according to Cantrell, who said that the casualties motivated the city's response and inspired efforts to help the community emerge from the crisis. Dr. Jennifer Avegno, director of the New Orleans Health Department, has been at the center of the COVID-19 crisis from the start. Born and raised in the New Orleans area, she has been the public face of the city’s response to COVID-19 and has been responsible for orchestrating the city’s efforts in establishing safety protocols and testing centers.

When Chef Nathanial Zimet got an order for 110 meals from his restaurant in Uptown New Orleans, he was just days away from closing his doors.

The Maple Leaf Bar, 8316 Oak St., is holding a benefit concert and blood drive Saturday in support of Joe Cooper, who was shot four times while protecting his wife and his home in Gentilly.

The Second Line – the magazine of the New Orleans jazz club, started in 1950 – took its name from the second lining tradition, which by that time included fans of jazz music, both black and white.

This led to what became known as a "jazz funeral", with the SAPC members marching in a dirge with a brass band before the deceased body being "cut loose" and a celebratory parade begins. The same club exercised their social aspect with a colorful, annual, public Second Line parade through their home community. The initiative will pair older, more vulnerable musicians and artists with their younger counterparts to assist them with shopping for their groceries and household needs. Violence has marred some parades in recent years, including the May 12, 2013 Mother's Day Parade shooting where 19 were wounded and one was trampled. De Wulf says that in addition to helping local restaurants, the morale boost for the health care workers is an important part of the effort. Feed the Second Line, a sister effort, was announced on Friday , which would have been the second day of our city’s beloved Jazz and Heritage Festival.
