This set of tunes was recorded back in 1995 but the CD was released in mid-1998. This is a project put together by Charlie's friend, Bay Area trumpeter Scott Jensen, who has written a few tunes that Charlie performs including "Common Ground" and "Do That Then". Hunter primarily lays down the rhythm parts while the others solo. As the liner notes say, 'The Bay Project was made up of just a few rehearsals, a few hours in the studio, and a few years fermenting the tapes in a dark closet'. Jensen and Hunter are joined by three members of the Bay Area hip-hop outfit, Alphabet Soup.

The Bay Project is no longer available. With less than 1000 copies printed, this is a collector's item.
