About Charlie Hunter
Hometown
Rhode Island, United States
Born
May 23, 1967
Genre
Jazz
Although his first public exposure, in the early 1990s, was as a member of Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy, Charlie Hunter has gone on to establish himself as a world-class jazz guitarist, smoothly blending bop, funk, free jazz, and pop into a vibrant whole that updates and expands the boundaries of jazz fusion. As a band leader, he shines in small-group settings, and has collaborated with a varied roster of artists from both the jazz and pop worlds. Part of his distinctive sound comes from playing a custom-built eight-stringed guitar through a rotary speaker simulator.
