This direct lineage is crucial to his sound as a pianist and composer. Charles was a part of the NYC Jazz scene for over 35 years and has performed at such legendary clubs as The Blue Note, Birdland, The 55 Bar, Sweet Basil, Fat Tuesdays, Smalls, and Mezzrow.
Charles has also collaborated with; The Gil Evans Orchestra, Michael Brecker, Gato Barbieri, Bill Evans (Sax w.
