Charlie Hunter Quotes

I do dig the White Stripes. I like the record they have out now Picture Quote #1

But I’ve come to the point in my evolution on the instrument where I realize that I can’t play the same stuff that just a guitar player or organ player would play - and I need to embrace that in a big way Picture Quote #1

I never do anything to strictly satisfy a fickle, ever-changing commercial world. I do the music I like to play. It’s the only way I feel comfortable existing in the industry Picture Quote #1

Yeah, well, it did earlier - but as Bobby and I have played together, our thing as a unit has become so strong that they kind of had to get in where they fit in. And most people do Picture Quote #1

Anyone playing with you is going to change where your direction is Picture Quote #1

Everything we did, we did live - and then Bobby took it home and chopped it up and edited it. Which is pretty much what they did with every jazz record you’ve ever heard Picture Quote #1

But I just think we’ve got such a continuity with what we’re doing that most people come in and fill in the blanks. and sometimes we leave a lot of blanks to be filled Picture Quote #1

If we really wanted to be cool, and everyone in the world had Pro Tools, we could just put it up on the internet and everyone could make their own record out of it Picture Quote #1

And then as we played more and more as a trio, it became more and more of a situation where we realized we really knew how to use the fourth member of the group - that space. The thing about the trio is that it’s the biggest sound you can have with the smallest unit Picture Quote #1

Ultimately, at the end of it, it’s just trying to get into that space where you feel like you’re hitting the right thing and you’re making music. and it feels intuitive rather than being counterintuitive Picture Quote #1

So it’s really hard for a horn player to comp. But I’m totally into trying to switch those paradigms around and find a little magic space where that works, and try to mine that Picture Quote #1

Now, when we first started, I would be playing something good and then feel like I wasn’t doing the right thing and launch into some idiotic cliche. Luckily for me, bobby was patient Picture Quote #1

I mean, in the course of an evening, people will take a solo here and there, but generally it’s all about the rhythm of that music. Dealing with the rhythm with everything. That’s essentially at least my concept of what that group is Picture Quote #1

I certainly hope my music is in no way, shape or form influenced by anything that would be known as a jam band. If it is, then I’m going to do something else Picture Quote #1

Yeah, it’s more like playing what you think is appropriate for the moment, not forcing any particular style Picture Quote #1
