Gabriel Roth – Daptone Records

In the early part of the 21st century, Gabriel Roth founded Daptone Records in Brooklyn, New York with friend Neal Sugarman. Roth speaks with Neal Cohen about the label and its sound, defined by its use of vintage equipment and analog tape. Roth also talks about the band’s spotlight artist Sharon Jones, who records and tours with Daptone’s own house band The Dap Kings and how they relate to other classic house bands like Booker T. & the MGs and The Funk Brothers.
