Information About

Charnett Moffett




Moffett's given name was created as a combination of that of his father ( Charles Moffett , the jazz Drummer ) and that of Ornette Coleman (the jazz Saxophonist ). As a teenager Moffett played in his father's band, but by the mid- 1980s he had begun to create a reputation playing with Wynton Marsalis and Branford Marsalis . This led to a career as a free-lance bassist, and he has performed and recorded with a long string of musicians, including Stanley Jordan , Ornette Coleman, McCoy Tyner , Kenny Garrett , Mulgrew Miller , Courtney Pine , Arturo Sandoval , Lew Soloff and Sonny Sharrock . He has also played and recorded as a leader. He is a current member of the Manhattan Jazz Quintet .
