This Minnesota native is keeping busy in the New York jazz scene, but he finds time to return home during the summer to share his great sound and cool tunes with us.

“Tall and serious-looking, Charlie offered one shapely solo after another, playing throughout the range of his horn with a glossy brilliance, never straining for effect but making us sit up and take admiring notice. He had his own sound, his own easy swing.” -Jazz Lives
