Violinist Regina Carter is on a mission: to make a meaningful musical contribution and do it on her own terms. Over the past four years, Ms. Carter and her quintet have brought audiences to their feet with exhilarating performances worldwide. Her influences have ranged from R&B to East Indian to classical music. She is completing work on her album Reverse Threads, a collection of infectious African folk melodies in a beautiful, contemporary interpretation as only she can provide.
