I do dig the White Stripes. I like the record they have out now  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) But I’ve come to the point in my evolution on the instrument where I realize that I can’t play the same stuff that just a guitar player or organ player would play - and I need to embrace that in a big way.  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) I never do anything to strictly satisfy a fickle, ever-changing commercial world. I do the music I like to play. It’s the only way I feel comfortable existing in the industry  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) Yeah, well, it did earlier - but as Bobby and I have played together, our thing as a unit has become so strong that they kind of had to get in where they fit in. And most people do  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) Anyone playing with you is going to change where your direction is  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) Everything we did, we did live - and then Bobby took it home and chopped it up and edited it. Which is pretty much what they did with every jazz record you’ve ever heard  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) The market didn’t define the music; the music defined the market  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) But that kind of falls in line; when you think about it, james Brown was a funk minimalist. all of those parts create a sum that’s larger than than the individual parts  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) But I just think we’ve got such a continuity with what we’re doing that most people come in and fill in the blanks. and sometimes we leave a lot of blanks to be filled  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) If we really wanted to be cool, and everyone in the world had Pro Tools, we could just put it up on the internet and everyone could make their own record out of it  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) And then as we played more and more as a trio, it became more and more of a situation where we realized we really knew how to use the fourth member of the group - that space. The thing about the trio is that it’s the biggest sound you can have with the smallest unit  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) The trio is the biggest sound you can have with the smallest unit  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) Ultimately, at the end of it, it’s just trying to get into that space where you feel like you’re hitting the right thing and you’re making music. and it feels intuitive rather than being counterintuitive  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) So it’s really hard for a horn player to comp. But I’m totally into trying to switch those paradigms around and find a little magic space where that works, and try to mine that  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) Now, when we first started, I would be playing something good and then feel like I wasn’t doing the right thing and launch into some idiotic cliche. Luckily for me, bobby was patient  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) I mean, in the course of an evening, people will take a solo here and there, but generally it’s all about the rhythm of that music. Dealing with the rhythm with everything. That’s essentially at least my concept of what that group is  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) I certainly hope my music is in no way, shape or form influenced by anything that would be known as a jam band. If it is, then I’m going to do something else  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) Yeah, it’s more like playing what you think is appropriate for the moment, not forcing any particular style  (Charlie Hunter Quotes) That’s the thing that we said about the horn before: it’s a focus issue. It’s like a singer versus a drummer. If a drummer’s playing a drum beat, and a singer starts singing, what do you think the audience is going to do?  (Charlie Hunter Quotes)
