Virtuoso bassist, prolific composer, and band leader Steve Hunter formed his first band at age 18 in 1978 and has had a band ever since. He has released ten albums of his original music, in addition to playing on and contributing compositions to albums by many other artists and bands. Steve has played with international artists Billy Cobham, Chick Corea, Mark Isham, and Bobby Previte and Australian artists Mark Simmond’s Freeboppers, Dale Barlow, Joseph Tawadros Trio, James Muller, Bandaluzia, Tree and The Translators among many others.
Steve’s current trio with Matt McMahon (piano/keyboards) and Gordon Rytmeister (drums) has been together and playing regularly for seven years now, primarily playing his original compositions along with a few tunes by others such as Chick Corea and Miles Davis. While Steve’s music sits under the jazz umbrella, his music also draws on elements from Spain, Africa, Latin America and Funk.
“Hunter has always been one of our most single-minded and disciplined players, one whose prolific output has been of one consistently high standard – the standard he applies, bushido-like, to himself and expects (and gets) from his sidemen/collaborators.” – australianjazz.net
“The Steve Hunter group is one of several bands to offer this world-class level of creativity. Its music reflects the sum of the parts that is Hunter – virtuoso bassist, imaginative composer, astute band-leader.” – Sydney Morning Herald
