THE COALITION OF THE WILLING - BOBBY PREVITE
Created from drummer Bobby Previte and guitarist Charlie Hunter’s Groundtruther project, this highly charged jazz set reveals a radically different facet of their collaboration. Instead of full-blown improvisations, here Previte, as leader, supplies tunes to spotlight Hunter’s Telecaster prowess. Although renowned for his eight-string mastery playing bass and lead simultaneously, this is Hunter’s first full recording with a six-string. He cranks up the volume and negotiates the misplaced rhythms of Previte’s tunes with rock-romp brilliance. Sex Mob slide trumpeter Steven Bernstein supplies the horn arrangements with Skerik on saxes. Galactica’s Stanton Moore doubles the drum charge, and co-producer Jamie Saft commands the keyboards. An exhilarating spin cycle in which jazz, rock, blues and funk tumble. Billboard
