LATITUDE is the first in a trilogy of recordings for Thirsty Ear's Blue Series; an ongoing collaboration between Charlie Hunter and Bobby Previte, world class guitarist and drummer, respectively. Each album is enhanced with the addition of a different guest, making for a fresh and unique trio. This release features Greg Osby on alto sax. Osby's lyricism is morphed into countless shapes and colors, underpinned by Previte's use of electronic drums to trigger samples that intertwine with Hunter's endless rhythmic flow and funky melodicism. The result is a sound that speaks to Jazz fans on both sides of the avant-garde mainstream divide, as well as those who enjoy Electronica or the jam-band scene.
