Charlie Hunter: Charlie Hunter

Read "Charlie Hunter" reviewed by Jim Santella


Grabbing at the traditional roots of jazz, Charlie Hunter explores the possibilities. His instrument provides a bass line, chordal harmony and plucky melodies. Hunter’s 7th release contains ample variety; six of the nine tracks are fresh originals. Both horns provide outstanding additions to the band; particularly on the charging “Nothin’ But Trouble."

Charlie Hunter/Leon Parker: Duo

Read "Duo" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Memo to Bruce Lundvall, head honcho at Blue Note Records: whether by design or perhaps mistake, you have stumbled upon or rediscovered the ways of Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff. The simple duo recording by guitarist Charlie Hunter and percussionist Leon Parker is a throwback to the old days of BN records. Whoever decided on recording ...

Charlie Hunter/Leon Parker: Duo

Read "Duo" reviewed by Ed Kopp


I could probably spend hours just listening to Leon Parker strum his fingers on a table top. There's a hypnotic quality to this man's rhythm-making, and his performance on Duo is by turns engaging and astounding.That I'm equally taken by Charlie Hunter's performance is more of a surprise.

Charlie Hunter & Leon Parker: Duo

Read "Duo" reviewed by Jim Santella


Guitarist Charlie Hunter and percussionist Leon Parker have more going for them than two hands apiece. Hunter can produce several lines simultaneously and evoke organ, bass and guitar, while Parker runs the gamut of textures from his set. Hunter’s composition “The Last Time," for example, finds Parker with one hand on the drums and another with ...

Charlie Hunter Quartet: Natty Dread

Read "Natty Dread" reviewed by Douglas Payne


From the surprisingly successful Blue Note Cover Series comes this exceptional disc by multi-talented eight-string guitarist Charlie Hunter. The 29-year old Hunter has made a thankfully unpredictable choice “covering" Bob Marley's influential and popular 1974 reggae classic Natty Dread. Hunter, heard here in a quartet with an alto, tenor sax and drums, resists the urge toward ...
