Charlie Hunter
Right Now Move

Decrease Font SizeEditor's Review:
Though jazz may still be a mysterious and relatively untapped musical genre
for many of the young and impressionable, regardless of your musical inclinations,
Charlie Hunter is simply a treat. This uniquely talented player made a name
for himself on an unusual instrument; the eight-string guitar, which is basically
a hybrid bass / guitar, contained on one neck. Simultaneously flinging Leslie
speaker-laced melodic lines, bass grooves and punchy chords, Hunter flawlessly
does with one instrument what usually sweats a talented two. A testament to
his prowess, the Charlie Hunter Quintet more resembles a sextet, and the songs
presented on Right Now Move, replete with muted stabs, rolling phrases
and instinctive arrangements that flow freely but return to hit the head in
unison, showcase not only Hunter’s exceptional playing, but compositions
as well. He’s got game.
