The Jazz Gallery Presents: Barry Altschul
This week, The Jazz Gallery is proud to welcome drummer Barry Altschul and his quartet to our stage for two sets. With an inimitable sense of melody and pacing on the drums, Altschul has been a beloved improvising collaborator for decades. He’s perhaps best-known for his associations with pianist Paul Bley, saxophonist Sam Rivers, and for the quartet Circle, featuring Chick Corea, Anthony Braxton, and Dave Holland.
Altschul is still a major presence in the New York scene, playing with musicians of different generations. Check out at recent performance at Mezzrow with the pianist Álvaro Torres.
For his performance at the Gallery, Altschul will be joined by longtime partners Joe Fonda on bass, Kenny Wessel on guitar, and Hayes Greenfield on saxophone.
The Barry Altschul Quartet plays The Jazz Gallery on Saturday, July 13, 2024. The group features Mr. Altschul on drums, Hayes Greenfield on saxophone, Kenny Wessel on guitar, and Joe Fonda on bass. Sets are at 7:30 and 9:30 P.M. E.D.T. $35 general admission ($20 for members), $45 reserved cabaret seating ($30 for members), $20 livestream access ($5 for members) for each set.
