"Contrary to popular belief, See GEOGRAPHY AWARENESS on page 7 Charlie Hunter Helps Jazz Evolve This Friday Bv Eric Newsom drummer f»u i n„a „„j ■ J By Eric Newsom Staff Writer For some reason, as of late, jazz is grouped by many folks college-age and under with other genres like classical or bluegrass as being irrelevant in today's pop world. As the artists in last week's concert preview prove for bluegrass, and composers like John Williams show for classical, jazz is still alive and kicking. If anyone still has doubts about the vital signs of jazz, Charlie Hunter wants to prove them wrong. The world-renowned jazz guitarist will be bringing the sweet tone of his special made eight-string to the Asheville Music Zone this Friday. In the early 90s, Hunter (who took guitar lessons from now legendary player Joe Satriani) led the Charlie Hunter Trio (with former Primus drummer Jay Lane and saxophonist Dave Ellis) in gigs in the San Francisco area, garnering enough attention to get the band signed to legendary Blue Note Records. Drawing on a number of influences, from John Coltrane to Charlie Parker to Muddy Waters to Stevie Wonder, the band found a groove that gained them an even larger fan base. Perhaps best known at the time for their jazzed up arrangement of Nirvana's "Come As You Are," the Trio garnished critical fame both as a jazz group, and as live performers. In the next few years, the Charlie Hunter Trio became the Charlie Hunter Quintet, and then, just as quickly, the Charlie Hunter solo project. It's like this that Hunter will be performing at the Music Zone on Friday, just him and a guitar. But, as all reports say, the sounds that the man can evoke from the special eight-string guitar more than make up for the lack of a band. Little known fact: Clapton, Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Eddie Van Halen and most of the other great rock guitar players started out playing simpler versions of the complex jazz that has made a name for Charlie Hunter. "If our mission succeeds, hopefully we'll have helped to turn a generation of people onto a much more spiritually Charlie Hun,er heviUe Music and soulfully executed music than what Charlie Hunter at t photo courtesy of Charlie Hunter Hunter says of gets played on MTV,' his music. "It's culturally the duty of the younger generation to help the music evolve. We wouldn't be doing our jobs if we didn't." So do your jobs, and check out Zone this Friday night. Opening &* Hunter is the Jazz Mandolin ProjJ*. an awesome jazz group in their o right. No one has to be intellectual i listen to jazz like this, they just have have an open mind and have appreciation for good music.
