Yoshi's Oakland Presents The Charnett Moffett Trio: New Love feat. Jana Herzen with Corey Garcia

“Charnett Moffett’s latest reminds us once again, that his quicksilver imagination matches the speed of his fingers.” – DOWNBEAT“Joyous and mystically resonant in equal parts.” – JAZZWISE (4 Stars) “The playing’s fresh and effervescent in the extreme. ” – TEXTURA“One of the era’s defining bassists…a virtuoso who elevates just about any musical setting” – THE OAKLANDSIDE“It’s music at the intersection of swing, spiritual and free jazz.” – AFROPOP“Charnett Moffett is a bass wonder man.” – DownbeatJoin legendary jazz bassist Charnett Moffett and his trio to celebrate the release of his trio/quartet album NEW LOVE out June 11 on the Motéma label. On his 17th all-original album, Moffett further refines his virtuosic and innovative sound and expresses his deeply personal permutations of love and an embracing of change as part of life’s progression: “Music is a universal language that speaks to all people. In life, human beings are in the constant process of change — whether an individual is conscious of this process or not,” he comments. Approaching a range of sounds and traditions with vitality and signature authenticity, the prolific artist welcomes the dimension of space across the twelve effervescent tracks of NEW LOVE and breaks new ground as a moving lyricist and vocalist with an uplifting spiritual message. A melodious conversationalist and reflexive listener, throughout the album Moffett's fretless electric bass takes the lead, often in its upper register, in dynamic interplay with his fearless collaborators Jana Herzen (guitar/vocals), Corey Garcia, Malick Koly (drums), and Irwin Hall (tenor &amp; soprano saxophones/alto flute). In the trio concert at Yoshi's, Moffett's long-time collaborator, Jana Herzen is featured with drummer Corey Garcia. The concert also celebrates Moffett and Herzen's recent marriage and return to the Bay Area.

It is music where the rhythm instruments take the melody and vocals hold the beat.” – AFROPOP.ORG'Bass icon Charnett Moffett showcases virtuosity and versatility on NEW LOVE" – Bass MagazineABOUT CHARNETT MOFFETTAn artist with an unusual abundance of spirit, chops, and charisma, Charnett Moffett has toured the world as one of the most innovative and versatile acoustic and electric bassists in jazz.
