'MISTICO'
RELEASED JULY 31, 2007 THE CHARLIE HUNTER TRIO (featuring
Simon Lott on drums and Erik Deutsch on piano, Fender Rhodes,
and CasioTone) unleased their first studio recording,
Mistico, on July 31 2007 on Fantasy/Concord Records! Is it
rock? Is it funk? Is it jazz? YES! It’s the indefinable,
yet irresistible, musical hybrid that comes from the master
of the 7-string guitar, Charlie Hunter. With its decidedly
loose and live feel, his latest release, Mistico is anything
but straightforward. Relix Magazine says "What's not to like
when Hunter announces smartly constructed tunes, Deutsch
drives hom the point often on piano and Lott syncopates the
hot rhythms?" To
hear sound clips and to pre-order the CD from the Official
Charlie Hunter Online Store!
