"Gayle's been around for s, sce this style was new, but he's never gotten much acclaim. It was a stormy night the first time I went to hear Charl Gayle. By now I had accumulated enough gossip to know that Gayle, recently returned om Europe, was livg a storeont Brooklyn, htg fifty and was as strong as, if not stronger than any player alive or ad.
While wag for the mic to beg, I orred a raspberry soda and stck up a nversatn wh a jazz llagist by the name of John D'Agosto who told me that he had seen Gayle before and that he was right out of the Sixti. " Or, as Gayle himself would subsequently put , "Knock down the walls. Gayle was perfect.
I returned to the "Kntg Factory" due urse plete wh a tape mache and my wife (who now believed my belief), and asked Charl Gayle if I uld rerd him. That same week I sent the tape off to Keh plete wh my feelgs about Gayle as a mician, and his powerful, raw, seemgly unfathomable energy.
