New Single “Summertime” from The Charnett Moffett Trio drops 9/22 honoring the last day of summer.

A beautiful, free-form improvised version of the Gershwin classic, “Summertime” performed live by The Charnett Moffett Trio is out today. Featuring the fine vocal artistry of Jana Herzen (vocals/guitar) with Corey Garcia (drums) this performance was recorded at Yoshi’s on July 25th, 2021. “Summertime” is a single, and the leading track of the new CHARNETT MOFFETT TRIO:LIVE EP out October 22, 2021.

On this moving track, acclaimed singer/songwriter Jana Herzen’s soulful angelic voice flies heavenward as it entwines, dances, and is lifted up by jazz bass virtuoso Charnett Moffett’s dramatic bass lines while Garcia’s sensitive symbol work provides accents and atmosphere.

JazzWise premieres “Uplifting” new single “Love for the People”, from Charnett Moffett’s June 11th release ‘New Love’

Big thanks to JAZZWISE Magazine in the UK for premiering LOVE FOR THE PEOPLE: 

FRIDAY, MAY 14, 2021

The renowned bassist shares the uplifting latest single from his forthcoming album, New Love, which is released on Motéma on 11 JuneInternationally acclaimed bassist-composer and bandleader Charnett Moffett further refines a virtuosic sound on New Love, his seventh leader release for Motéma Music, and his 17th album to date. An exploratory and vibrant follow-up to his 2018 recording Bright New Day, the album expresses Moffett’s deeply personal permutations of love and an embracing of change as part of life’s progression, as he explains: “Music is a universal language that speaks to all people. In life, human beings are in the constant process of change — whether an individual is conscious of this process or not.”


A melodious conversationalist and reflexive listener, Moffett features the fretless electric bass, often in its upper register, alongside fearless collaborators Jana Herzen on guitar and vocals, Corey Garcia and rising-star Malick Koly on drums and Irwin Hall on tenor and soprano saxophones and alto flute. Interplay among the artists is an album virtue.
