Charlie Gabriel leading the band at 84 years young
Lets that the month with some swing, with the New Orleans Preservation Hall band paying at JazzFest 2016 . Special mention to Charlie Gabriel blowing that clarinet he was 84 when the shot was taken he had his 87th birthday recently and he is still playing .
The musical heritage of Charlie Gabriel can be traced back as far back as the 1850s. Great-grandson of New Orleans bass player Narcesse Gabriel, grandson of New Orleans cornet player Martin Joseph, and son of New Orleans drummer and clarinetist Martin Manuel Gabriel . Gabriel was born in 1932, learning to play at an early age with some of the New Orleans’ earliest jazz musicians, such as Kid Howard and George Lewis. At the age of 14, Gabriel moved to Detroit, where–two years later–he impressed Lionel Hampton with his skill and received an invitation to join the Lionel Hampton band. In 2009, he began touring with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
This picture does not perhaps reflect the reality of the day it was poring with rain when I took the shot. About an hour later the days music was cancelled due to torrential rain and lightning storms . This was a enormous drag as Stevie Wonder was headlining that day and I missed out on seeing this musical giant
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
