As a teenager living in Detroit, Charlie played with Lionel Hampton, whose band just then also included a young Charles Mingus, later spending nine years with a group led by Cab Calloway drummer, J.C. Heard. While he’s also fronted a bebop quintet, played and\/or toured with Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennet, Aretha Franklin and many more, this is the first time his name appears on the front of a record, as a bandleader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2006, Gabriel has been a member of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, featuring prominently on That’s It, So It Is, and Tuba to Cuba. 89 was different, and not simply due to a smaller ensemble.  “We had no particular plan, or any particular insight on what we were gonna do. But we were enjoying what we were doing, jamming, having a musical conversation,” Charlie says, further musing, “Musical conversations cancel out complications.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e89 includes six jazz standards and two new pieces, “The Darker It Gets” and “Yellow Moon”.” Charlie describes the repertoire, which includes “Stardust,” “I’m Confessin’ (That I Love You),” and “Three Little Words,” as “standard material that every musician, if they’re an older musician like myself, will have played throughout their career. Every time I play one of these tunes the interpretation is a little bit different.” Tracks: CD\u003cbr\u003e\nMemories of You\u003cbr\u003e\nChelsea Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\nI'm Confessin'\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Darker It Gets\u003cbr\u003e\nStardust\u003cbr\u003e\nThree Little Words\u003cbr\u003e\nYellow Moon\u003cbr\u003e\nI Get Jealous\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RHYTHM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50425073434817,"sku":"SPCD1490","price":29.98,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6482\/1953\/files\/413793-Product-0-I-638917018228632322.jpg?v=1784619823","url":"https:\/\/techsupplyshed.co.nz\/products\/89-by-gabriel-charlie","provider":"TECH SUPPLY SHED","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
