K, I have to say I was there when! Saw Charlie Hunter play in his first breakthrough trio, and knew right away he was a major talent. Charlie takes jazz guitar out of the realm of dusty old clichés, and marches it through territories better known to heavy metal or rockabilly players. His creative curiosity and musical ambition make Hunter’s compositions and improv’s practically indistiguishable from each other, yet solidly original. These traits are as far from the museum mentality so common in the genre today, as they are distinctly jazz. Or to put it simply, this is heavy!
