“Everyone in the Charlie Hunter Trio resides
on common ground and they seem to be simultaneously
finding even more in common as they play together.
The end result often sounds like more than just
three players, a wonder of wonders for those unfamiliar
with Charlie Hunter and only a little less so for
those who have followed the intrepid guitarist's
career.” – Doug Collette, AllAboutJazz.com
“I love this crazy album.” – Stop

“Charlie has a knack for
always taking his music and becoming the front
and center and everything in between. On Baboon
Strength, Charlie takes a step back and allows
his collaborators, Tony Mason (drums) and Erik
Deutsch (organ), into the spotlight with him. From
the first notes of the opening track you know that
this is going to be a party album. Initially sounding
like another Garage-A-Trois album, the music settles
in as swirling and other worldly sounds dance out
of the speakers, leaving you in a groovin’ daze.” – Musical
