Charnett Moffett: Improvisational Artistry

Read "Charnett Moffett: Improvisational Artistry" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke


"I enjoy all of the music, just as I enjoy different aspects of color in paintings, or different people, or different types of food, or things of that nature. For me, it seems to be a more interesting way of life to have an appreciation for all that is offered on the planet."
