After Wynton Marsalis, no one caused more of an uproar than James Carter did when he appeared on the New York jazz scene from his native Detroit. Critics lauded his ability to play in virtually any jazz style without appearing to ape anyone. Studying as a young prodigy with trumpeter Marcus Belgrave, he played and toured with Marsalis in 1986 at the age of 17 and became a member of Lester Bowie's band upon relocating to New York in 1988. In addition to his own work, James Carter has played on albums with Cyrus Chestnut, Herbie Hancock, Detroit comrade Rodney Whitaker, Regina Carter, Madeleine Peyroux and Karrin Allyson. He moves with ease through swing, bop and avant-garde styles and is the example of how jazz lives on and why it needs to continue being experienced live. Don’t miss the opportunity to see him perform.
