In an interview at the 1998 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, bassist extroardinaire, George Porter Jr. (of Meters fame), said that Galactic is the future of New Orleans music. When these four young purveyors of funk initially got together they cut their teeth on a few dozen old Meters instrumentals, making sure the foundation was solid. Today they write many of their own songs but still recognize their roots, which is why they chose to put the supergalactic spin on this Dirty Dozen Brass Band song called "Charlie Dozen", complete with the twin sax attack by Ben Ellman and Jason Mingledorff.
