Since 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’. ‘Eighty Nine’ 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’. ‘Eighty Nine’ includes six standards and three newer pieces on which Gabriel is a writer: ‘Yellow Moon’, ‘The Darker It Gets’ and ‘I Get Jealous’. The record also marks Charlie’s return to his first instrument, clarinet, on many of the tracks. ‘The clarinet is the mother of the saxophone’, he says. ‘I started playing clarinet early in life, and this (taught me) the saxophone’.
