This new series, “The Hang,” promises to explore the music of exciting artists and examine the music that inspired them to take it up. The first show features one of the Bay’s best and most versatile saxophonists, Howard Wiley, who incorporates elements of funk and a whole lotta soul into his playing. Wiley has toured or played with a plethora of artists like Miss Lauryn Hill, Christian McBride, and Sheila E. Fans get a chance to hang out with Wiley as he spins some of his favorite jazz records. Then he’ll mix it up with some live trio music and then will answer fans’ questions over drinks.
