If 6 Was 9 - Charlie Hunter


Think you've seen it all...note that there isn't a bass player...this guy is doing it all.

First coming to prominence in the early 1990s, Hunter has recorded 17 albums. Hunter plays custom-made seven and eight-string guitars, on which he simultaneously plays basslines, rhythm guitar, and solos. Critic Sean Westergaard describes Hunter's guitar technique as "mind-boggling ... he's an agile improviser with an ear for great tone, and always has excellent players alongside him in order to make great music, not to show off."

  1. Great blend of high energy jazz and the blues! This is a tight band with great chops. I enjoyed the drummer and his zest for playing. The sax as a lead in a blues track...just great
    Thanks
