Since the debut of his self-titled Charlie Hunter Trio in 1993, Charlie Hunter has recorded 17 albums. During that time, Hunter has worked with and recorded with many artists, including Miles Perkins, Scott Amendola, Will Bernard, Skerik, Jay Lane, Dave Ellis, John Ellis, Mimi Fox, Peter Apfelbaum, Stefon Harris, Kurt Elling, Bobby Previte, Greg Osby, Chris Lovejoy, LeonParker, Josh Roseman, John Santos, John Schott, D’angelo, Calder Spanier, Mos Def, Norah Jones, Adam Cruz, and Willard Dyson, to name just a few.
Last year, Charlie Hunter released Baboon Strength. The collection of songs drew from all different influences including Staxx Soul ("Porter-Hayes"), 70's new wave ("Difford-Tilbrook"), and the sounds of a busy city ("Welcome to Frankfurt"). The record has regarded as one of Hunter's most innovative efforts to date.
Charlie has been in the studio and is just about done wrapping up the recording of his next as-of-yet untitled record. The lineup includes Eric Kalb (Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, John Scofield) on drums, Curtis Fowlkes (Jazz Passengers, Lounge Lizards, Bill Frisell) and Alan Ferber (Don Byron, Kenny Wheeler) on trombone, and Eric Biondo (Antibalas TV On The Radio) on trumpet! The CD will be available in advance at the Yoshi's shows in the Bay Area (California) in December and will be available in all digital retailers in January. Stay tuned...
