'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!
