[JAZZ] There are moments, most of them arranged by music curator Steve Baczkowski, in which Hallwalls feels like a center of the free jazz universe. That will certainly be the case when multi-instrumentalist Charles Gayle performs this Friday, September 29. Gayle, originally a saxophonist, taught music at UB in the 1970s; he then moved to New York City, was homeless for 20 years, a situation he says he chose, and worked as a street musician; then, in the late 1980s, he recorded a trio of albums that made him famous. Catch him at Hallways on Friday and find out why.
