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.
