Charlie Hunter Trio on Fog Town Network

Year: 1993. Sax: Dave Ellis. Drums: Jay Lane. City: San Francisco. Event: Urban Jam. Song: "Dance of the Jazz Fascists".
Those are the facts. Do they describe the experience of hearing young Charlie Hunter's performance that night? Only if the fact he was a piano player is sufficient to describe Duke Ellington.

Dude, Jay Lane is a friggin' god on drums... Easily one of my favorite players

I have probably said this before here, but at 4:01 he is looking raw, like he's about to bite you. LOVE THIS VIDEO, NEVER TAKE IT DOWN PLEASE!!! IT IS A GREAT SOURCE OF MY PERSONAL HAPPINESS! THANK YOU FOGTOWN!!!

1 jazz fascist refuses to dance.

It's kinda strange to think he can play this kind of music just as good as the music he played/plays with primus/sausage

Dig it!

Charlie don't surf! Jk

4:57 - 5:22 he has this blank expression like he isn't actually playing something one-hundredth as complex and crazy as he is. I do, however, definitely prefer Hunter's blank look to what Reed Mathis of JFJO does when he plays (just watch him).

This piece speaks for itself, most emphatically.

yeah nice to see charlie has come so far as a player too, though this first album is my fav :)

I saw him at yoshis recently and was so blown away. I honestly wish all shows he was standing up and the crowd can dance because you just wanna get out of your seat!!!!!!!
