\/\/illy Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 If only that wasn't the same night as Diesel Dog, Fat Cats, Don Ross, Tea Party, Nero, et cetera... I hope it's a great show. I'm jealous of anyone attending (TimmyB)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Wow, I didn't realize Logic would be with him. This could be a cool show. Charlie Hunter was in project Logic right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexis Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I'm strongly considering going to see this and then burning it over to nero. I'll make my decision closer th the date when I have a better handle on timing. Gotta savour the flavour after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudly Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Us over here in Van. were lucky enough to have Charlie come through our little town last month. 3 piece with sax and drums...at our lovely Richards on Richards club (650 cap, awesome sound and sight lines, great staff!). WOW!!! It was one of the most awe-inspiring, jaw dropping performances I've ever seen....I'm sure you all know his schtick....plays bass and melody at the same time on his hybrid instument....it's one thing to know that, and completely another thing to SEE it up close. I've seen him a number of times in busier settings and larger venues in different states of mind....up close and personal (mildly puffed down) is the way to go... He's a weird cat too....hates hippies....and hates noodle dancers to the point of putting in his rider that tables must be set up in front of the stage (like a jazz club) so he doesn't have to deal with the distraction of flailing dreads and wafting patchoulli. Can you blame him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudly Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Richards in 2000 was indeed a boogiefest...(and my first Charlie experience)...the guy does promote rug cutting, no doubt...(case in point, Garage a Trois)...so is Mike Clark's RX, depending on who's playing (I saw MC w/ Charlie, Robert Walter's, Fred Wesley, Skerik, Karl D, Jessica....twas a mad boogiefest. but he also gets a little avant garde at times...kinda like one of *those* MMW shows...) I'm sure he was very nice to you back then and always honors his fan base, which is both Blue Note Jazz afficianado's and jam-music afficianado's....I guess I embellished a little hard there (did I just 'dish the dirt there??? ooops, my apologies, cuz I really don't know nothing bout him personally.) to get the point across that there were tables set up in front of the stage this time around at his request to create a buffer zone of sorts, which pissed me off cuz, well hey, that's where I stand (and twist/contort, etc) But it really worked out well and wound up growing on us noodlers cuz it did give it a jazz club type feel...

FairySari Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 What time is this show going to start? Is there any chance of this show starting early? I'd like to see this show before the nero show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
