Charlie Hunter & Ella Feingold
City Winery Boston presents: Charlie Hunter & Ella Feingold live on March 3rd at 7:30pm.
Different Strokes for Different Folks marks a full-circle moment for Ella Feingold, who first saw Charlie Hunter performing with Leon Parker at the Regatta Bar in the late '90s. She never imagined that decades later, she’d be playing and recording alongside him as both a peer and a friend. Today, Hunter describes her as “one of the baddest, greasiest guitar players on the planet.”
This exploratory duo project is a deep dive into the art of musical conversation. Built on a foundation of rhythm, space, and groove, Hunter and Feingold engage in a fluid, improvisational exchange, pushing beyond conventional structures to create something raw, immediate, and deeply immersive. Their interplay unfolds like a dialogue—organic, unpredictable, and rich with nuance—where silence holds as much weight as sound.
At its core, Different Strokes for Different Folks is an exploration of time and texture, where funk meets minimalism and melody meets motion. Rooted in jazz, soul, and ambient influences, the project embraces both synchronicity and divergence, allowing each moment to breathe and evolve naturally. It’s a testament to the power of the guitar as a vessel for personal expression—where innovation, authenticity, and human connection take center stage.
It’s music that’s complex but never complicated.
It’s music for rolling the windows down and cruising.
It’s music that makes your neck sore.
It’s music to get lost in and let your mind wander.
It’s music to sing over.
It’s music that makes you want to pick up your instrument and play along.
It’s music that takes its time.
It’s a musical conversation between two friends, captured over four days.
It’s minimalist funk.
