Clarinetist, saxophonist, and flutist Charlie Gabriel is a
fourth-generation jazz musician from New Orleans. Raised in a
classically trained musical family that emigrated from Santo Domingo in
the 1850s, Gabriel began playing clarinet professionally with the Eureka
Jazz Band when he was eleven years old. During World War II, his
father, clarinetist and drummer Martin Manuel Manny Gabriel often sent
his son as a substitute on gigs. Charlie recalls how the musicians with
whom he played ”T-Boy Remy, Kid Humphrey, Kid Sheik, Kid Shots, Kid
Clayton, and Kid Howard” also raised him and brought him home after the
gigs.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a career spanning countless genres, Gabriel has performed with Tony
Bennett, Frankie Avalon, Brenda Lee, Mary Wells, Aretha Franklin , Eddie
Willis, Joe Hunter, and many other early Motown artists. Gabriel sums
up the influence of his fellow musicians, "many, many people inside of
me that I have rubbed shoulders with, and I got something from each one
of them. It's all wrapped up inside of me, and by me still playing today
and still able to go around the universe, I give to them all these
other things I have from those that I have came in contact with"</div>

Our dear friend and bass drummer for the Treme Brass Band, Uncle Lionel Batiste, has passed away this past weekend. The Preservation Hall family misses Uncle Lionel and we send our condolences to his family and fellow Treme Brass Band members.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
"Uncle" Lionel Batiste, the Treme Brass Band’s longtime bass drummer
and a beloved, dapper character who reveled in charming women of all
ages on the dance floor, died early Sunday at Ochsner Baptist Medical
Center after a brief battle with cancer. He was 80.<br />

Mr. Batiste was an iconic figure in the brass band community and the
larger world of New Orleans music. With his omnipresent sunglasses, a
wristwatch worn across his hand, and his kazoo, he literally moved to
the beat of his own drum.<br />
<br />
In the traditional brass band cap, white shirt and black tie, Mr.
Batiste appeared in numerous commercials and TV shows, including HBO's
"Treme." He was also featured on the 2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage
Festival presented by Shell's souvenir Congo Square poster by artist
Terrance Osborne.<br />
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mQ1iB7_UhP4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<br />
Many local musicians cite him as a role model. Trumpeter Kermit
Ruffins has referred to Mr. Batiste as “my total influence,” who
taught Ruffins “how to act, how to dress and how to feel about life."<br />
<br />
“Inside Uncle Lionel’s bass drum," said fellow drummer Herman LeBeaux, "is the pulse of the city."<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Raised by a musical family in New Orleans, Johnson
started playing trumpet and piano around the age of 6. Four years later, Johnson increased his
musicianship and taught himself how to play the trombone, tuba, organ,
saxophone, drums, and more. He
began performing professionally at the age of 12. To deepen his musical education, he attended New Orleans
Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA)
and majored in music at Southern University at New Orleans. Johnson became Jaffe's protege,
studying under him at NOCCA.</span></div>

Life can be measured by the things on your
"bucket list" and the things you never knew were on there in the first
place. They include those truly memorable nights in your life that when
someone asks about them, or when something reminds you, you can't help
but pause for a moment and smile.<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
One of those nights happened
for me in New Orleans a year ago with my sisters. After a great meal on a
balmy night, we sat down and heard some live jazz. It was real, New
Orleans jazz — in the heart of the French Quarter.</div>

The music, beats and
improvisation were so infectious that the slapping of my hands on the
tops of my thighs would later turn to bruises. I slapped with such gusto
that I couldn't help myself.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
I tried to be more careful Sunday night at Red Butte Garden as the Preservation Hall Jazz Band took the stage, but it was hard.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The large band, clad in attire
that could pass for costumes from the movie "Men In Black," delicately
wailed — if that's possible — from one classic to the next.</div>

Kicking it off with "They Come
to Play" and "On the Bayou," the band, featuring guitar, mandolin,
banjo, fiddle, clarinet, piano and plenty of brass, talked little and
played a lot and seemed to have a fantastic time doing so.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
In a joint effort, much like
the CD released in 2011, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band played with the
Del McCoury band, creating a night of vintage New Orleans jazz, with a
little bit of classic bluegrass sprinkled in...</div>

About <b>Shake That Thing:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is what New Orleans music is all about – sacred, profane, jubilant,
solemn, loose, funky and fun. Drawing talent from the full cast of
players featured in Preservation Hall’s nightly performances, this CD
faithfully recreates the verve an energy for which the venue has become
so well known. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Featuring an expanded lineup of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Shake
That Thing is a joyous celebration of over 40 years of New Orleans jazz
tradition. Adding such New Orleans jazz luminaries as trumpeter Leroy
Jones, clarinetist Dr. Michael White, and drummer Shannon Powell, the
band powers through several standards and traditional tunes that easily
rate as some of the most raucous, funky, and happy tracks to come out of
Preservation Hall. From Don Vappie's patois vocals on "Eh la Bas" to
the gospel-meets-street beat of "His Eye Is on the Sparrow," most of the
various New Orleans musical styles are covered here. This is relevant,
rootsy jazz that deserves to be heard well beyond the confines of the
institution it sprang from. </div>

Preservation Hall Sound Engineer, Earl Scioneaux III, will be recording a Daft Punk tribute album this Summer. Scioneaux's unique twist lies in the translation between his Daft Punk arrangements and the brass band musicians performing the music. Scioneaux is funding his project through donations generated by his <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Samplefreq/brassft-punk-daft-punk-tribute-via-new-orleans-bra" target="_blank">BRASSFT PUNK KICKSTARTER</a> account. Donations will end on 6/15 at 6:00PM.<br />

<br />
"Daft Punk seemed an obvious choice - their music is great, it's
accessible and widely known, and it's super danceable. What better way
to reformat their tunes than the irresistible funky goodness of a New
Orleans brass band?"<br />
<br />
"I plan to arrange Daft Punk's 4 biggest hits
for brass band. I've already written the arrangement for Harder,
Better, Faster, Stronger. The other 3 tunes I'll be doing are: One More
Time, Around the World, and Da Funk."-Earl Scioneaux III<br />

Grove staple, this year will mark the band's first return to the festival in
the past 5 years. <b>Billie and De
De Pierce's Preservation Hall Band</b> were the first Preservation Hall Band to
play there in 1969, where it became an annual tradition until 1999. In 2007, Preservation Hall Jazz Band
performed again at Stern Grove, led by trumpeter John Brunious (uncle to
current Preservation Hall Jazz Band trumpeter Mark Braud).</span> </div>

Festival will be celebrating their 75<sup>th</sup> Season of Concerts this year
as well. In celebration of their
anniversary, Preservation Hall Jazz Band have been commissioned to compose and
perform a piece of music. The song
will reference the festival's tradition of “the waving of the pink section,” in
which audience members wave the SF Chronicle's Sunday Datebook in the air. The tradition began with the band's
former trombone player, Jim Robinson and his legendary waving of his white
handkerchief.</span></div>

During Jazz Fest, we had the pleasure of attending a Pandora town hall meeting at Hotel Monteleone with Pandora founder, Tim Westergren. At the meeting, Tim spoke about the roots and origins of the most successful internet radio company. Needless to say, what Tim had to say was inspiring, while clearly representing the true risks of starting an entrepreneurial venture. Tim made Pandora successful with a lot of resources, but mainly heart. Preservation Hall shares this value, as we were once an entrepreneurial venue 50 years ago.<br />

interesting musical similarities to your choice. Then sit back and enjoy
as it creates a listening
