His solo albums are hit or miss my favorites being his first "duo" album and Tales from the Analog Planet, and of course Natty Dread. I'd heard about his project Garaje A Trois w/ Stanton Moore a while ago, but I haven't had a chance to check it out. I'm sure its awesome and I'm a huge fan of Stanton's solo albums. Sadly I havent heard Mistico yet either, but its gaining a pretty solid reputation.
I've been lucky enough to work with Charlie a handful of times engineering shows and I will say that he is a very positive and humble human being and after seeing him live several times I have yet to see the man **** up a single note during a performance, and I get paid to pay attention. |
You say old ... I'm wondering if it was a typo. Don't you mean
ancient? :P Stanton Moore is also a wonderful musician, and if you dig him, then you'd definitely like G.A.T. Their earlier stuff is with Skerik, which if you haven't heard him, you need to. Amazing saxophonist! The three of them are amazing together, but Charlie left the band in '07. Though I like the later stuff with Marc Benevento and Mike Dillon, too, there's an energy about the original trio that cannot be mimicked.
So this is kind of long and a cover, but still awesome:
