Take a peek behind the scenes of the latest album from Charnett Moffett - one of the most highly regarded bassists in jazz. "Treasure" offers a thematic yang to the yin of his critically acclaimed Motema debut, "The Art of Improvisation", which came out in 2009.
While "Treasure" shares the eclecticism and some of the Asian and Middle Eastern influences of "The Art of Improvisation", the newer release palpably concentrates an emphasis on the swing and pulse that has earned Moffett standing ovations throughout his career.
Moffett’s ensemble features a host of great players including Rodney Holmes, Denardo Coleman, Oran Etkin and long time collaborator and guitar icon Stanley Jordan who joins in for two swinging tracks.
Enjoy the video!
