James Carter – Conversin' With The Elders CD

Description: James Carter – Conversin' With The Elders CD -- The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, led by Wynton Marsalis and Stanley Crouch, has made a public point of not inviting such post-Coltrane avant-gardists as Anthony Braxton, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and the World Saxophone Quartet to the jazz-revival party. Carter, by contrast, has invited them to his own shindig on the superb Conversin' with the Elders. Braxton and the AEC's Lester Bowie are represented by compositions, while Bowie and the WSQ's Hamiet Bluiett are present as Carter's soloing partners. More conventional jazz heroes, such as Count Basie horn men Buddy Tate and Harry "Sweets" Edison, are also on hand. By taking a broad approach to jazz history, Carter has so expanded his musical vocabulary that every time he brings his mouthpiece to his lips he can make any sound he wants--silky swing, strangled shrieks, romantic lushness, or bawdy honks. He uses them all here with a casual swagger that's a pleasure to behold. --Geoffrey Himes Product Description In an often-quoted phrase, James Carter, 27, has been called "the most exciting young saxophonist to arrive on the scene in the last 25 years." His records have made year-end best-of lists in the New York Times and the Village Voice, where his debut Atlantic release, the Real Quietstorm, was the only jazz recording in a list filled with the best of rock, pop, hip-hop, and soul releases from 1995. On his latest release, Conversin' with the Elders, Carter engages in a series of impromptu dialogues with "some of the musicians who have influenced me, on or off stage..." such as, Lester Bowie, Hamiet Bluiett, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Buddy Tate, Larry Smith, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Anthony Braxton, and Bennie Moten. Says Carter, "I thought the best way to show my appreciation to them was to have them participate on a recording celebrating the music that brought US together."
