Charlotte’s premier free jazz purveyors christen their superb new LP, The New Gravity, with a month-long residency at Snug. Saxophonist Brent Bagwell and drummer Seth Nanaa epitomize intuitive interplay as they balance furious cacophony and subtle melodicism, each permutation feeding off its counterpart. Poets, DJs and bands will be along for the weekly ride, but the spotlight shines on GT, who push boundaries while honoring its origins. (John Schacht)
