Praise for Daddy Plays Old-Time New Orleans Jazz


Few families in jazz provide such an unbroken evolution of the music as the Gabriels, and Larry Gabriel has done a magnificent job of framing their contributions within this context. There has always been a discussion about the vital musical connection between New Orleans and Detroit, and Gabriel, through his family, has marshaled living evidence of this continuing relationship. This study is another important addition to understanding the foundation of jazz. Blow, Gabriels!
