Ella Feingold & Charlie Hunter: Sanford N’ Anybody

Here is music from an album I have been eagerly waiting for, featuring a too-good-to-be-true new collaboration between two of the most distinctive guitar voices around: Ella Feingold and Charlie Hunter. With these kinds of stellar pairings, tempering anticipation with caution is not unwise—but not this time.

Feingold and Hunter aren't just virtuosos—they're conversationalists. And on Different Strokes for Different Folks, they are in a deep dialogue speaking fluent funk in all its rich dialects. Often the groove simmers gently, but it burns hot. A track that I am playing on repeat is "Sanford N' Anybody"
