Witness the Jazz Fusion Evolution that is Charlie Hunter

Friday July 11th, Charlie gets freaky @ the Boulder Theater.

Just the facial expressions alone on this man, while he defies normal finger dexterity on his 7-string guitar, is enough to call Charlie Hunter's show "Performance Art". Or more fittingly, considering his unusual style of playing his one of a kind guitar, "a freak show".  You see, Charlie plays the strangest of guitars, a combination between a six string guitar and a bass guitar. This is no small feat, as the bass guitar has a longer fret board than a six string, and to combine the two takes a very interesting fret layout.  This is one of the many reasons Charlie Hunter has come up with his own brand of Jazz fusion.

Charlie Hunter's music and band members are in constant fluctuation. Each album sounds quite different from the other,  and his band mates change multiple times a year.  He has played and recorded with many Jazz/Funk greats like Karl Denson, Robert Walter, Mike Clark, Stanton Moore and Fred Wesley, just to name a few.  Does this reflect his constant desire for progression, or a bad case of ADD? I can't say, but his current band The Charlie Hunter Trio is nothing short of genius. Notably, long time Boulder favorite, Erik Deutsch of The Motet played keys on his latest album and will be playing at his live shows. With Nels Cline of Wilco fame opening, this show should be jaw dropping! See you there.
