recorded at the Blue Note in New York, and released on Half Note Records. In addition to Carter on tenor, soprano and baritone saxophones, are John Medeski on Hammond B3 Organ, Adam Rogers on guitar, Christian McBride on bass and Joey Baron on drums. Together they carve out a groove that captures the buzz and vitality of jam-jazz at its most exhilarating.
Carter’s most recent recording, released in Spring 2011 and titled Caribbean Rhapsody, features the Concerto for Saxophones written specifically for him by composer Roberto Sierra. The world premiere of the Concerto in October 2002 with the Detroit Symphony yielded rave reviews of this brilliant work. In this four movement concerto, Carter switches off between tenor and soprano saxophones with brilliant technical command. Described as electrifying, fresh, stimulating, and utterly unconventional, Caribbean Rhapsody provides a cross-over of classical and jazz elements showcasing Carter as a supreme soloist.
