Projects: Groundtruther

Bobby Previte + Charlie Hunter

"Longitude features ferocious drumming by Previte and a startling transformation by Hunter." --Downbeat

"Transit of Venus is one of the ten must have tracks for the week" --VH1.com

"Longitude is another winner" --All Music Guide

"powerful, infectious" --Allaboutjazz.com

"Groundtruther with DJ Logic is THE free-improv jungle/drum n bass psych-metal groove disc of 2005- don't miss it!" --Jazzreview.com

"a must hear" --One Final Note

"thrilling" --Rolling Stone

"Wow. I haven't felt this energised by hearing new music in a long time." --BBC

"an energetic tour-de-force." --Allaboutjazz.com
A duo with the third person as a rotating choice, Groundtruther has invited many of the greatest improvising musicians in New York to be their guest, including Oliver Lake, Randy Brecker, Lew Soloff, Stephen Bernstein, Ray Anderson, Peter Apfelbaum, Uri Caine, DJ Logic, DJ Olive, and Jane Ira Bloom. The combination of Previte's paradigm shifting electronic drums and Hunter's one-of-a-kind 8 string sound has proved both visionary and irresistible to New York audiences. Alone, they create a distinct language. The addition of the third musician triggers territorial exploration of the most searching kind.

In October of 2003, on their first European tour, and again last summer they asked as their guest the formidable, ground-breaking saxophonist Greg Osby, who has been thrilling audiences with his stunning musicianship for years. Together, these three iconoclasts shattered conceptions of how music is organized and played, creating a volatile mix that thrilled European audiences.

Groundtruther is signed to Thirsty Ear Records, and is in the middle of a new trilogy, "Latitude, Longitude, Altitude."

"Latitude," with guest Osby, and "Longitude, with DJ Logic, are both out now. "Altitude," the third and final CD, will be in collaboration with John Medeski and will be out in fall 2007.
