Charlie Gabriel

New Orleans saxophonist Charlie Gabriel has been making music for almost 80 years, and finally makes it up front and center with the upcoming "Eighty Nine" LP.  The artist has played with all manner of jazz legend throughout his career and with the Preservation Hall Band since 2006.  This new record finds him rediscovering his love of his craft after a bout of depression when losing his last living sibling to COVID.  The stripped down session, primarily just sax, guitar, and vocals, includes some old standards and a couple of new tunes as well.  Check out "The Darker It Gets" below and pre-order the record here from Sub Pop.
