Charlie Hunter Gathers The Heavy-Hitters For An Unforgettable Jazz Lounge Session

After mystifying the boat with Original Garage A Trois and more throughout the weekend, the excitement for Charlie Hunterâ€˜s Jazz Lounge set on Saturday evening couldnâ€™t have been higher. Unsurprisingly, the master guitarist/bassist delivered the goods. Hunter began the set looking relaxed as he simultaneously laid out infectious guitar and bass grooves on his hybrid guitar. All the while, Charlie joked and laughed with the horde of artists watching with excitement from next to the stage, making his dextrous multi-part playing seem all the more impressive.

Before long, that gathering of artists/observers began to join him onstage. First, Cory Wong and drummer Peter Janic joined in to kick the grooves up a notch. The collaboration grew from there as Nigel Hall and a horn section comprised of Skerik, Casey Benjamin, and Phil Lassiter took the stage to join them, offering up some creative musical tangents including a jam on Jimi Hendrixâ€˜s â€œThird Stone From The Sunâ€. Hot damn, what a band!

Itâ€™s often hard to pinpoint the most exciting impromptu collaborations from a week full of them, but this Hunter/Wong/Janic/Skerik/Benjamin/Lassiter/Hall jam quickly and easily rose toward the top of that list.
