Charlie Hunter, John McLaughlin and Billy Cobham
Jez Nelson presents a concert by eight-string guitar virtuoso Charlie Hunter, plus highlights from a reunion gig performed by guitarist John McLaughlin and drummer Billy Cobham.
Jez Nelson presents a concert by 8-string guitar virtuoso Charlie Hunter. Taught by Joe Satriani as a young student, Hunter emerged on the Californian scene in the 1990s, making a name with a series of albums on the Blue Note label. He has recorded 19 albums to date, in various line-ups working with the likes of Norah Jones, Kurt Elling and Bobby Previte. With an instrument and a fingerpicking technique that allow him to combine bass lines and melodies, Hunter brings a fresh approach that draws on early blues, funk as well as jazz. With Scott Amendola on drums.
Plus, highlights from another guitar/drums gig - John McLaughlin's reunion with Billy Cobham, recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival last July. The duo revisit music from the Mahavishnu Orchestra and perform more recent material.
