Charlie Hunter Trio is the debut album by jazz guitarist Charlie Hunter.[3][4] It was released by Prawn Song Records, a label owned by Les Claypool.[5] Claypool produced the album, and his former bandmate, Jay Lane, played drums. Dave Ellis joined in on saxophone.[6] Hunter played a seven-string guitar.[3]
The album was recorded by Claypool for one hundred dollars.[7]
Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that "the trio provides an interesting, yet accessible, groove-driven, funky, improvised jam for a new generation of jazz fans."[2] Trouser Press wrote: "Though deceptively clean, its diffuse, fusiony compositions don’t fully convey the group’s sass and spirit — only 'Dance of the Jazz Fascists' ... comes close."[7]
