Charlie Hunter Quintet "Right Now Live" DVD

charlie hunter is a virtuoso! u gotta see this. i saw him live once. as a guitarist for 12 years then, i thought i could understand how he played when i saw his hands, i was wrong. and he didn't allow smoking in a rock club that notoriusly has a smokey haze and no ventilation (double door chicago). charlie has a mutant hybrid axe that has the top 3 bass strings and bottom 5 guitar strings. if u close your eyes u would hear a badass bassist playing with wes montgomery. check out the track "oakland". a few tracks on the dvd have him by himself and he can mesmerize any crowd by himself (the definition of a virtuoso in my book). the rest of his band sounds like a cross between an acid jazz band and dr dre's studio musicians. check out his album "pound for pound"(5 out of 5 thumbs) for the ultimate seat chair experience. 5 out of 5 thumbs.
