==Early life and career==
Charnett Moffett attended Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York City and later studied at Mannes College of Music and the Juilliard School of Music. In 1983, he played on saxophonist Branford Marsalis' debut as a leader, Scenes in the City, and the following year he joined trumpeter Wynton Marsalis’ quintet, appearing on 1985's acclaimed ''Black Codes (From the Underground)''. During the 1980s, Moffett also worked with Stanley Jordan, appearing on the innovative guitarist's best-selling 1985 Blue Note debut, ''Magic Touch'', as well as two Blue Note albums with drummer Tony Williams’ quintet: 1987's ''Civilization'' and 1988's ''Angel Street''. In 1987, Moffett signed with Blue Note Records and debuted as a leader that year with his first of three albums for Blue Note, ''Beauty Within'', which featured his father Charles Moffett on drums, older brothers Codaryl Moffett on drums and Mondre Moffett on trumpet, Kenny Garrett on alto saxophone, and Stanley Jordan on guitar.
In 1993, Charnett Moffett recorded ''Rhythm & Blood'' for Sweet Basil's Apollon Records. A mix of jazz and pop, it placed high on the music charts in Japan. He later scored artistic triumphs on the Evidence label with 1994's ''Planet Home'' (featuring his electronically enhanced rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" in tribute to Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock showstopper) and 1997's ''Still Life'', featuring keyboardist Rachel Z and drummer Cindy Blackman. In 1996, Moffett appeared on two simultaneous releases by Ornette Coleman - ''Sound Museum: Hidden Man'' and ''Sound Museum: Three Women''. Another 1997 recording, ''Acoustic Trio'' for Teichiku Records, showcased Moffett's acoustic bass playing. Three other '90s recordings for the Sweet Basil/Evidence label were done under the collective name of General Music Project (with saxophonist Kenny Garrett, pianists Geri Allen and Cyrus Chestnut, and Charles Moffett Sr, his father, who died before the group could tour together). Another recording from 1995, ''Moffett & Sons'', is a collaboration with his father. In 2001, Charnett released a potent tribute to the late Jaco Pastorius entitled ''Mr. P'', a trio recording with pianist Mulgrew Miller and drummer Lewis Nash. Charnett has also performed on various movie soundtracks, including acclaimed ensemble cast pictures ''Glengarry Glen Ross'' (1992) and ''The Visit'' (2001), and was a featured soloist for ''The Score'' (starring Robert De Niro and Marlon Brando).
