Both on Island Style and So Lonely, Charlie Moreno participates
as co-producer of the records. On what´s his third record to date,

production. With the support of the Canary Islands Government
once again, he gets embarked upon the recording of Subway to
Venus, a record full of ambition, where CM proves all of his
potential. With the collaboration of Javier Sanchez, the great
guitar player, co-producer of the record and Moreno´s right-
hand man, the recording takes place in Madrid, in the Arco del
Valle Studios, owned by the prestigious sound engineer Andres
Vazquez, who participates with the production tasks, plus takes
charge of the mixing and mastering processes. This record counts
with the stellar appearances of Chuck Loeb, Javier Sanchez,
Hector Salazar, Andrian Schinoff, Lugotti, Esther Ovejero, Rayco
Gil, Andreas Prittwitz, Paco Salazar and Paco Mayorga. Through
all that he learned on his previous recordings , Charlie Moreno
achieves a fantastic result, with music that takes you through
many styles, from jazz-funk to flamenco.
This time, Charlie Moreno´s musical path led him to a new adventure of crossing the Atlantic Ocean. On achieving an important scholarship awarded by the Canary Islands Government after an insular regarded contest, the great guitarist Chuck Lueb took the lead of a production that was recorded in the USA almost entirely. With a bigger budget this time, the bassist focused on his band-oriented compositions. This record counts on high level collaborators as Eric Marienthal, Joel Rosenblatt, Till Brönner, Carmen Cuesta, Lizzy Loeb, Javier Sanchez, Kike Perdomo, David Charles, Andreas Prittwitz, Nathan Eklund and of course, Chuck Loeb. Recorded at The Carriage House Studios, mixed and mastered by the two times Grammy Awards winner Phil Magnotti, the production is a high profile sound where you can also feel an increase of quality in Charlie Moreno's career.
The first solo CD by Charlie Moreno, was a great effort by producer Andreas Prittwitz, who moved heaven and earth to achieve this project. The result is an intimate record where the electric bass takes its place as a lead instrument. Tunes oriented on the "solo bass" style seasoned with outstanding collaborations by musicians such as Chuck Loeb, Jose Antonio Ramos, Nono Garcia, Antonio Toledo, Luis Fernandez, Valentin Iturat, Inoidel Gonzalez, Sergio Garcia, Daniel Casielles, Carlos Calzado or Andreas Prittwitz himself. The work took place in Madrid, in the Pull-Push studios, headed by the great piano player Mariano Díaz. This record was presented on several jazz festivals and bass- oriented events all around Europe.
