One of the most virtuosic bassists of the 21st century, Charnett Moffett (known for his work with Wynton Marsalis, Ornette Coleman, McCoy Tyner and Stanley Jordan) stands strong as a composer, master technician and relentless innovator on upright, fretless and piccolo basses. On ‘The Art of Improvisation’ Moffett leads a stellar band on a spirited journey through Indian, Tibetan, free jazz and jazz fusion territories. Special guests: Will Calhoun & RealWorld recording artist Yungchen Lhamo (dubbed ‘ The Voice of Tibet’ by the Dalai Lama) will attract World and Rock enthusiasts.

Charnett Moffett – The Art of Improvisation

admin — Sat, 01 May 2010 17:33:56 +0000

Charnett’s Motema Debut: The Art of Improvisation is slated for release May 12 2009

Throughout his 25 years on the scene, Charnett Moffett has been a man on a mission. As he states,”I’m trying to bring people together on the planet through music. That’s part of my calling here in life.” That sentiment, coupled with his extraordinary virtuosity on the bass, has resulted in a string of superb outings as a leader as well significant contributions to stellar recordings by such jazz luminaries as Ornette Coleman, McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock and Wynton Marsalis. On The Art of Improvisation, his 10th as a leader, Moffett explores his creative muse with a pure, free-spirited approach on his three chosen instruments — upright bass, fretless electric bass guitar and piccolo bass. “Each is a separate voice,” explains the innovative, multi-directional bassist and prolific composer. “And when I incorporate the bow or a wah-wah or distortion effects, I can channel even more voices.”
