The Charlie Hunter and Scott Amendola Duo

[VIRTUOSOS IN TANDEM] Drummer Scott Amendola and guitarist Charlie Hunter have been bouncing in and out of each other’s orbits for decades. The two are Bay Area jazz luminaries who have collaborated on stage and on record over the years, including a stretch when they were members of T.J. Kirk, a project that melded together the work of James Brown, Thelonious Monk and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. The duo circled back together again recently and recorded one of 2012’s best jazz LPs, Not Getting Behind is the New Getting Ahead, a warm, groove-heavy paean to the struggles of the 99 Percent.
