Info for New Love
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
An artist with an unusual abundance of spirit, chops, and charisma, Charnett Moffett has released sixteen acclaimed albums and has toured the world as one of the most innovative and versatile acoustic and electric bassists in jazz. He debuted on the Blue Note label in 1987, and after signing with several other labels through the years, in 2008 he found his ‘home’ at the Motema label where he has released his seven most recent projects. Moffett’s career began as a child prodigy, appearing first on record in his father Charles Moffett’s band at age 8. In addition to his leadership career, he has collaborated as a ‘bassist to the stars’ on over 200 albums, many of them considered to be classics in jazz.
