Bursting
on the scene out of the bay area in the early 1990s armed with an 8-string
guitar and the backing of the legendary musical pranksters Primus,
Charlie Hunter has reigned as the west coast ambassador of groove for
over a decade. On his self-designed instrument which includes a combination
of bass and guitar strings Hunter developed a musical style akim to
a walking b-3 organ player, simulateously puming out funky bass lines
along with intricate guitar passages. This incredible technique along
with his slavishness to the groove won Charlie an enormous following
among younger listeners before the term Jam Band was uttered and his
inherent hipness attracted jazz, hip hop, soul fans alike.
Steady Groovin is a retrospective of funky classics recorded
by Hunter during his 10 year tenure with Blue Note and features
special guests ranging from Mos Def to next generation jazz legends
Stefon Harris and Leon Parker.
