Charlie Hunter Trio (Guitar): Charlie Hunter (7-string guitar); Simon Lott, Erik Deutsch. Personnel: Erik Deutsch (piano, Fender Rhodes piano); Simon Lott (drums). Audio Mixer: Scott Harding. Recording information: Bedfordstudio, Brooklyn, NY (02/2007). Photographer: Michael Weintrob. Although jazz fusion guitarist Charlie Hunter appeared on the scene in the mid 1990s with a specially constructed eight-string guitar that allowed him to play basslines, rhythm parts, and solos essentially simultaneously, the San Francisco-based artist is talented enough as both a player and composer not to fall into the novelty trap that Stanley Jordan, for example, found hard to escape. Balancing a productive career as a frontman with his lucrative sideman roles for the likes of Norah Jones, MISTICO finds Hunter in basic power-trio format, this time favoring a seven-string guitar that obviates the need for a bassist. The 10 tracks range from the funky, danceable "Wizard's Sleeve" to the pensive "Ballad," but overall, Hunter is in a rock-oriented mood here, not unlike the Bad Plus.
