Hunter pushes away from jazz while staying completely true to it. Channeling every musical influence he has, he's brought about his most ambitious record yet. From fusion to grog rock, it's all here, whether intentionally or not; it's all in the name of jazz. "The worst direction is to take that information literally," he says, speaking on the subject of jazz tradition. "The best is to deal with your influences-deal with the fact that you're living in 2007 and reflect that."

Charlie Hunter Trio - Mistico available in stores & online now.
