Charles Burnham

Charlie Burnham's violin has graced the work of many, including Cassandra Wilson, James Blood Ulmer, Steven Bernstein, Susie Ibarra, Peter Apfelbaum, Medeski, Martin & Wood, and others.

"Burnham passes a rigorous test of his versatility and depth of expression on percussionist Susie Ibarra’s Radiance (Hopscotch HOP 2). Ibarra’s Trio with Burnham and pianist/harpist known only as Cooper-Moore, melds such diverse materials as pastoral adagios, African harp music, and Jimi Hendrix’ "Up from the Skies" into an engaging program, prompting Burnham to utilize everything from delicate bow articulations to a sly use of a wah-wah pedal. After hearing Equal Interest and Radiance, one longs to hear Bang in a more challenging setting." - Bill Shoemaker
