hey guy's i caught the charlie hunter trio at the green mill in chicago on fri night.charlie play's a 8 string guitar/bass, i think it's a novex it has faned frets.i only caught the first set because i had a late night session but i have several of his records and a dvd so im familar with his music but watching him play funkey swinging bass lines while blowing hip solos at the same time always knocks me out.he had john ellis on sax,keys,bass claranet and harmonium and derrick phillips on drums,both of those guys are great in their own right and they had a great group sound,they were really enjoying each others playing and it was fun to watch.to cap it off the doorman collecting the cover told everybody who came in "there is NO talking while the music is being played,if you talk you will be asked to leave"(the green mill is known in chicago as a great jazz club where it's hard to hear the music over the yapping yuppys)they also had a no smoking in the front of the club near the band stand rule in effect that was really cool. |
