About
Fretless electric bass master Charnett Moffett delivers a love letter to humanity with his new trio/quartet album, New Love. Further refining his signature and virtuosic sound in collaboration with his skilled and fearless ensemble, Moffett's twelve original tracks range boldly through contemporary-, free-, soul-, and world- instrumental jazz while he also breaks new ground as a vocalist/lyricist with a spiritual message. With intensely engaging dynamism: the album one-moment swings with passion and fervor - evoking Moffett's early years with Tony Williams, Ornette Coleman, Wynton Marsalis, McCoy Tyner .. - and the next moment swirls with contemplative beauty as Moffett spreads his message of joy and love.

Charnett Moffett’s latest reminds us, once again, that his quicksilver imagination matches the speed of his fingers. His vocalized electric bass pulsates across these 12 tracks, sometimes setting a fevered pace for guitarist Jana Herzen, and the drummers Corey Garcia andMalick Koly, or slowing the tempo to allow the meditative melodiousness of Irwin Hall’s saxophones.
