Editorial Reviews
Charlie Hunter -"Everybody Has A Plan Until They Get Punched In The Mouth" Now with his 17th album, he returns to his quartet to perform 10 all-new Blues, Rock, Jazz and Latin-flavored songs alongside bandmates Kirk Knuffke (cornet), Bobby Previte (drums), and Curtis Fowlkes (trombone). Recorded 100% live in a studio in Hudson, New York, Charlie performs his simultaneous bass, rhythm and solo magic on his custom 7-string electric guitar, proving once again that Charlie Hunter is the undisputed king of modern jazz guitar improvisation.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2017Charlie Hunter never stands still, never disappoints, and never ceases to prove that jazz can be both serious and fun. When I listen to an album like this, all I can think of is a line on one of Roland Kirk's live albums about how a lot of people didn't show up for the concert because they didn't want to hear that "way out there jazz." Kirk, of course, was one of the funkiest players ever, and an inspiration to Hunter in more ways than one. Kirk played multiple horns at once, and Hunter plays bass and lead lines simultaneously on his seven-string contraption (down from eight). Hunter even used to have a project called TJ Kirk, playing the music of Roland Kirk, Thelonious Monk and James Brown, with a couple other guitarists. Most importantly, like Kirk, Hunter keeps things fun and rooted in blues.
And never before has Hunter kept things THIS heavily rooted in blues. It isn't just the Big Bill Broonzy thing. Hunter's blues riffs are all over this album, and the horn combo of cornet and trombone keeps things sounding very New Orleans. This isn't dixieland jazz, not by a long shot. However, Charlie Hunter was never one of those to let his playing get too abstract, and what New Orleans-based jazz always does is keep things rooted in blues. Hunter has done fusion, funk, and plenty of other stuff. Call this his blues album. It's still jazz, but as always, it's the kind of jazz that anyone who says they hate jazz should hear. Nobody can hate this.
The other thing worth mentioning here is how effectively Hunter uses space. Between Hunter's ability to play bass lines and guitar lines simultaneously, Bobby Previte's percussion, and the Kirk Knuffke/Curtis Fowlkes horn section, you would think that this album would sound busy, and to be sure, that New Orleans point I made? Yes, they can sound almost like a full New Orleans band at times. Of course Hunter can arrange that kind of thing, even with a quartet. But most of the time, he doesn't. Most of the time, everyone gives each other space, and lets the music breathe. That's the thing about keeping it bluesy. It has to sound organic. And it does.
Jazz may not be the most popular genre, but this is accessible music. Everybody should be able to enjoy this album. It is bluesy and organic. The jazz snobs can appreciate the structure of the improvisation. Instrumentalists? It's Charlie Hunter! It's not too busy, but there's energy. This is an album that should unite fans of music across styles.
Like Roland Kirk said, those people who didn't want to show up for that way-out-there-jazz? They don't know what they're missing. Me? I'll keep getting every album Charlie Hunter puts out, and attend every concert I can.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019So much to chew on with this set of compositions. Take funk-jazz master 7-8 string guitarist Charlie Hunter and throw his pulsating,. conceptual mind in with a couple of New Orleans oriented horn guys and you get uniquely stop-everything-and-listen inducing compositions that were every bit of a very intriguing surprise for this Hunter fan/listener. I love Charlie Hunter. Here he shows his breadth of imagination, roaming way out into a very rich left field. He incorporates ambling, contemplative tempos & pauses in composition, well askew of his usual driving groove-jazz beats, while never abandoning those same fill-the-gut-and-soul groove roots. It's a very successful exercise in exploration of genre-bending, one that opens new doors for the listener - fellow musician or just fan.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2018Another great offering from Mr. Hunter and friends. Endlessly inventive. Never fails to bring a smile to my face when I listen to this disc.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2016Mellow on first glance, yet I found myself slowly burning inside out. These musicians and their instruments have become one. Phenomenal (and not too many notes!)... Very happy to be punched by his bluesy jazzy crazy hands.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2016Charlie Hunter and longtime collaborators Bobby Previte and Curtis Fowlkes have created a record that is at turns swinging, heavy and intimate. Hunter's stanky 7-string guitar/bass stomp through the sure-footed arrangement of "No Money, No Honey" lets us know that Hunter's work with horns has come roaring back(though last year's Let the Bells Ring On" was clearly a turn in that direction). As is the case with many of Hunter's efforts, all tracks were recorded live, bringing an abiding groove to the proceedings.
All players are in fine form here, with the pleasant surprise of Kurt Knuffke and his coronet. Knuffke gamely matches every swoop and turn, and provides some edgy whispering and quiet, old school tone and original moments to the record. In all "Everbody..." is another body of evidence that we live in great musical times, if you know where to look and listen.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2017Got for a gift for a friend. Jazz musician. Says it's great.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2016This album is stellar. There is no need for additional words.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2016Another instrument is missing - interesting in a narrow way, almost a "play-along" session. Hunter is one of my favorite guitarists, he's certainly unique, original, but there's no fire on this date. For Hunter fans only. He's produced better, much better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bobby Previte on drums is also terrific and really pushes the tempo along
I saw Charlie Hunter on tour in 2016 and so had to buy this album. It is hard to categorise this. It is modern jazz, but with some funk and blues flavours. Bobby Previte on drums is also terrific and really pushes the tempo along. Most tracks have a live feel which I like as I often feel a lot of American jazz albums are over-produced. You can sample three of these tracks on YouTube and the CD is a bargain at the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars PURO BLUES EN TODAS SUS FACETAS, MARAVILLOSO
Hunter se hizo famoso por su guitarra de siete cuerdas donde se incluia los sonidos del bajo. Maravilloso guitarrista que ha quedado para una minoria muy selecta, una pena pues con los años cada vez toca mejor , mas puro y accesible. Sus ultimos discos son de una precision absoluta. Los ultimos CD se acompaña por Bobby Previte a la bateria, Curtis Fowlkes al trombone, realmente magico y en este ultimo se suma Kurt Knufke al corno frances. La musica es puro blues del mejor y en todas sus variantes, realmente hipnotoptico y subyugante. Grabado en vivo pero en un estudio es fascinante. No lo dejes pasar, es una joya intemporal, al menos escuchalo par que entiendas todo lo que digo.Un CD para escuchar mil veces.
