.: Tracklist :
Although jazz fusion guitarist Charlie Hunter appeared on the scene in the mid 1990s with a specially constructed eight-string guitar that allowed him to play basslines, rhythm parts, and solos essentially simultaneously, the San Francisco-based ... Full Descriptionartist is talented enough as both a player and composer not to fall into the novelty trap that Stanley Jordan, for example, found hard to escape. Balancing a productive career as a frontman with his lucrative sideman roles for the likes of Norah Jones, MISTICO finds Hunter in basic power-trio format, this time favoring a seven-string guitar that obviates the need for a bassist. The 10 tracks range from the funky, danceable "Wizard's Sleeve" to the pensive "Ballad," but overall, Hunter is in a rock-oriented mood here, not unlike the Bad Plus.
