Charlie Hunter
Santa Claus came this year with a Charlie Hunter DVD, Solos Jazz Sessions. Being a huge fan of that guy and his playing, I just wanted to recommend that DVD, showing a very good and skilled musician playing solo and being not boring :

I do really think that Stick players should learn a lot from him.

Re: Charlie Hunter
That man makes me wanna get into the practice room...!
He's soooo musically developed and yes, he does seem to share are a common thread/inspiration with Stickists. I definitely find myself coming back to his ideas more and more.
The whole bass line to comping thing...... I hope to one day play with some of that fluency then add more of the contrapuntal ideas from the Stick. Ah well, one thing at a time.

Re: Charlie Hunter
Charlie Hunter has actually been more influential to my Stick playing than any Stick player. The exception would be Tony Levin's playing with Crimson which led me to get a Stick in the first place in 1984.

Re: Charlie Hunter
I did back to back sets with Charlie this past September at our LBJF. Charlie does more than juggle multiple parts. His groove is always funky. It's all about the groove. I love his playing. His latest solo CD of old standards is absolutely killer. Charlie will be returning to LBJF Sept. 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW6GN988 ... re=relatedSA

Brett I don't think. The beauty of his music is that, I think, he clearly understood the limitations of his instrument : he can't play all the time, thus it let the music a lot of room and space. We (the stickists, and I in particular) tend to fill the room with notes and notes, all the time. I may be wrong but it's the way I feel most of us.

Re: Charlie Hunter
All I'm saying is that his harmonic lines more advanced than any stickist I have heard.

Re: Charlie Hunter
He did a masterclass which some parts have been recorded (you can find under Charlie Hunter clinic). One is about interdependancy, and another one is about the Blues (and is just a lesson about musicality with capital M)
