Ninety year-old New Orleans Jazz legend Charlie Gabriel joins Dwyer to talk about what it's like to come from a New Orleans music family, playing professionally with brass bands at the age of 11, and the beauty of Charles Mingus. Ben Jaffe, Charlie's musical pal and producer also joins in on the conversation to share how Grunge label Sub Pop and Jazz are the perfect mix, losing his bass in Katrina and how your instrument is an extension of yourself.

Conversations With Matt Dwyer is a music podcast that focuses on the lives and work of legendary, established and emerging new artists. The interviews are not your typical Q&amp;A format but an unfolding organic conversation that shines a light on the lesser explored corners of an artist's work, life, triumphs and challenges. Some past guests included Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips, Van Dyke Parks, Lou Barlow, Donita Sparks of L7, Boots Riley and Jenn Wassner of Wye Oak/Flock Of Dimes. Conversations With Dwyer was also the catalyst for John Lurie selling his series "Painting With John," to HBO.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
