Reeds player Charlie Gabriel is a fourth generation musician from New Orleans who began playing professionally at age 11 with the Eureka Brass Band upon the urging of his father. The Gabriels moved to Detroit in the 1940s, where a teenage Charlie was asked to join Lionel Hampton’s band, and by his 20s was leading the hard-bop and pre-Motown movement with best friend, trumpeter Marcus Belgrave, with whom he also performed in Aretha Franklin’s orchestra. 60 years later, Preservation Hall invited Charlie to return to New Orleans, where at 91 years young now,  he plays the Hall and enjoys collaborating with master pianist Larry Sieberth at Snug. Tonight, Charlie plays with the Larry Sieberth Trio, featuring:  Charlie Gabriel - saxophone  Lawrence Sieberth - piano  Shows at 7:30pm & 9:30pm.  Doors at 7:00pm & 9:00pm.  Restaurant is open 5pm - 11pm for dinner before or after your showtime:  Advance Ticket Holders can now automatically make dinner reservations for 90 Minutes prior to your ticketed showtime in the dining room via OpenTable.com!
