The passion and fire of Charles Burnham’s violin has graced the work of many: Cassandra Wilson, James “Blood” Ulmer, Steven Bernstein, Peter Apfelbaum, Henry Threadgill, String Trio of New York, Ted Daniel, Medeski, Martin & Wood, and many, many others. But armed with a whole new book of originals and a stellar new band, Burnham’s step into the spotlight has long been coming. Wordly and other-worldly sounds can be heard from Burnham’s musical and personal journeys as his soulful voice and violin lead you down some open roads and dark alleys, and bring you to some spots you may not have known even exist.
