THE BATTALION CLASSIFIEDS
en LiT Brian Terry
started playing his
brand of Cajun zydeco
with a hip-hop beat, there was no
word to describe it.
“I call it z-funk,” Terry said. “It’s
just funk and zydeco mixed with
hip-hop, rap and blues, putting it
all together.”
Z-Funk is also the name of LiT
Brian & the Zydeco Travelers’ sec
ond album, a collection of urban-
influenced zydeco and funk tunes.
“I grew up in Houston, man,”
Terry said. “My dad used to play
all the time. But I also used to lis
ten to Snoop Dogg and 2Pac. I
fused the two of them together to
see what I could come up with,
just put it down, face down.”
LiT Brian and the Zydeco Trav
elers will bring its urban-Cajun
fusion to Bryan’s 3rd Floor Canti
na tonight at 9 p.m.
Terry has played the piano accor
dion for 11 years, since high school.
He has a tattoo of Buckwheat Zyde-
co’s accordion on his arm.
“I still listen to zydeco,” Terry
said. “Clifton Chenier, Buckwheat
Zydeco, those kind of cats.”
Terry cut his teeth on zydeco
under the tutelage of his cousin,
accordionist Geno Delafose, who
will play the at 3rd Floor Cantina
March 14.
The Zydeco Travelers cover
Clifton Chenier’s “You Got Me
Crying” on Z-Funk, as well as
songs from such funk icons as
James Brown and Rare Earth.
“We try to give them some
thing more than just zydeco,”
Terry said.
The band’s first album, Fresh,
concentrated more on urban
rhythms than on roots zydeco,
LTI Bryan Terry and the Zydeco Travelers are playing at the 3rd Floor Cantina tonight at 9.
Terry said.
“Fresh was basically an out-
coming, a debut,” he said. “We
were letting peo
ple know who we
were. On Fresh, we
had straight hip-
hop. Z-Funk took
it back home to
funk and tradi
tional zydeco.”
The musical dif
ference between
the albums is pal
pable, Terry said.
“It sounds like
two different
bands,” he said. “If
“It's just funk
and zydeco
mixed with hip-
hop, rap and
blues, putting it
all together."
Li’l Brian Terry
Musician
Z-Funk was way in left field, Fresh
was way in right field. We knew we
wanted to make a change, but we
didn’t know it was going to come
out like that.”
The band has
played to packed
houses all over the
nation, from
Philadelphia to St.
Louis, but it has
been a while since
Terry has played in
his home state.
“We’re just start
ing to play Hous
ton and Austin
again,” Terry said.
“We have people
waiting in line to
get in to the clubs we play. Some of
them can’t even get in.”
The band’s return to3rdFlw
Cantina will feature a Caja
crawfish boil starting at 6 pm
manager Willie Bennett said.
“We’re going full-tilt, doin
the whole Cajun deal,” T ’" r
nett said.
The 3rd Floor Cantina hasali
hosted zydeco legends Beausolt!
who played a halftime showattt
year’s Super Bowl.
Terry said he is looking
ward to the show in Bryan —
, he looks forward to every shoi
his band plays.
"I love this, 1 wouldn’t givei
up for nothing,” Terry sai;
"Whenever you can do whatj’ii
want to do, that’s cool. You cai
beat that.”

NEW YORK (AP) — A private collection of
19th- and 20th-century art, expected to net $80
million, will be sold to further the charitable
goals of the couple who collected the works.
The Loeb collection, unveiled Wednesday by
Christie’s, will be sold in a special auction May 12.
It was amassed by John Langeloth Loeb and
his wife, Frances Lehman Loeb, during their 69-
year marriage. Known for donating millions to
charity, the couple’s will required their five chil
dren to sell the masterpieces to fund a new phil
anthropic group supporting programs from the
arts to family planning.
She died in May at age 89 and he in Decem
ber at 94.
John Loeb Jr. said his parents came from old
money but were inspired by family traditions of
art acquisition, and began filling their Park Av
enue apartment with Impressionist and post-
impressionist masterpieces in the late 1940s.
