Charlie Gabriel (and Ben Jaffe)

Ninety year-old New Orleans Jazz legend Charlie Gabriel joins Dwyer to talk about what it's like to come from a New Orleans music family, playing professionally with brass bands at the age of 11, and the beauty of Charles Mingus. Ben Jaffe, Charlie's musical pal and producer also joins in on the conversation to share how Grunge label Sub Pop and Jazz are the perfect mix, losing his bass in Katrina and how your instrument is an extension of yourself.
