Charnett Moffett in Dallas

[kh1958]

I just happened to notice that Charnett Moffett is making a rare live appearance in Dallas, at the Clarence Muse Cafe Theater, Friday and Saturday, February 18 and 19.

There are no other details, but as a sideman, Mr. Moffett has put on some astonishing performances. The Moffett Familly Jazz Band, which played at the Caravan of Dreams a couple of times years ago (including one set with Ornette Coleman) was one of the most exciting groups I've ever heard live.

He also made appearances at the Caravan with Tony Williams and Wynton Marsalis.

His most recent recording as a leader, For the Love of Peace, is rather outstanding.

I'm excited to see again the gentleman who, to my tastes, is the most compelling bassist in jazz today.
