Now together for over 5 years, having toured the world, the Charlie Hunter Trio follows up 2003's Friends Seen and Unseen with Copperopolis, same 3 guys, but different in one big way. And the addition of John Ellis' playing both the wurlizer and melodica opened up a lot of space for Charlie to simply shred. Recorded in New Orleans during 2004's JazzFest, this is the album fans have been calling on for years. Rope a Dope. 2006.
