NYC: CHARNETT MOFFETT AT BIRDLAND
Charnett Moffett performs at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) on Thursday, April 11th at 6:00 pm. Appearing on over 200 recordings, Charnett Moffett is a veritable bass legend and has one of the most distinguished careers in jazz. Charnett's father Charles was a drummer with Ornette Coleman, and so Charnett was always around jazz royalty. In fact, his name is a tribute to both men. He first appeared on a recording at age seven with the Moffett Family Band. Then at age 16 he left Juilliard to join the Wynton Marsalis Quintet, before starting his non-stop career working with innumerable icons of music including Art Blakey, Ornette Coleman, McCoy Tyner, Tony Williams, Dizzy Gillespie, Herbie Hancock, Dianne Reeves, Arturo Sandoval, Anita Baker, Stanley Jordan, Harry Connick Jr., David Sanborn, Branford Marsalis and Bette Midler. Most recently he's been touring with vocal sensation Melody Gardot. Charnett recorded three CDs for the esteemed Blue Note label and six others on various labels before his path led him to Motoma. Whether as the leader or in a supportive role, his intense and energetic solos inspire audience ovations around the world. There is a $25 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
