“He is the complete musician, a technician with no apparent limits and a poet of deep sensibility.” Detroit News
An artist long intrigued by contrasts and hybrids, James Carter is a powerhouse musician and one of the most admired saxophonists of his generation. Raised in Detroit, he grew up surrounded by music, absorbing everything from funk and fusion to rock, soul and acoustic jazz.
Since bursting onto the New York circuit under the auspices of Lester Bowie, Carter has spent the last quarter century propelling jazz full-tilt into the future with his technical proficiency and enthralling improvisations. Equally expressive on soprano, alto, tenor and baritone sax, his boundless musical fluency traverses the full spectrum of jazz from swing, blues, boogaloo and bop through to more avant-garde styles.
