Album Notes
Charlie Hunter Trio: Charlie Hunter (8-string guitar); Dave Ellis (tenor saxophone); Jay Lane (drums).
Additional personnel: Jeff Cressman (trombone); Ben Goldberg (clarinet); David Phillips (pedal steel guitar); Scott Roberts (percussion).
Recorded at Mobius Music, San Francisco, California.
Charlie Hunter's 1995 Blue Note debut landed the guitar virtuoso square on the music map as one of the most exciting new voices in jazz. His custom-built eight-string guitar (allowing him to play bass and guitar simultaneously) and taste for the funk was a revelation to younger listeners hungry for music rooted in jazz tradition but also encompassing more recent groove-driven movements such as hip-hop. When scribes tried to pigeonhole Hunter as a leader of San Francisco's acid jazz movement, the Bay Area native quickly dismissed the tag, referring to his music as "antacid jazz."
The trio (with tenor saxophonist Dave Ellis and drummer Jay Lane) cuts deep, organic grooves through tunes such as "Greasy Granny" and "Fistful of Haggis," while the blue jazz ballad "Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing" plays like a meditative summer stroll along a North California beach. Elsewhere the trio brilliantly reshapes Nirvana's "Come as You Are" into a soulful samba. It's both a fitting tribute to Kurt Cobain, and a testament to Charlie Hunter's ability to drop-kick jazz into the 21st Century.
Industry Reviews
