The reigning queen of jazz violin.

“A talented, charismatic player who is almost single-handedly reviving interest in the violin as a jazz instrument.”
–– The Los Angeles Times

“Ms. Carter is enormously gifted, bringing a blues sensibility to her improvisations.”
–– The New York Times

“Wonderfully listenable, probingly intelligent and, at times, breathtakingly daring.”
–– Time Magazine

Regina Carter Quartet

The reigning queen of jazz violin.

Regina Carter is constantly redefining the current sound of the violin in today’s popular music. You’ve heard her powerful and intuitive soloing with a panoply of artists: Mary J. Blige, Billy Joel, Aretha Franklin, and Wynton Marsalis; as well as with her own ground-breaking groups. With every collaboration her contribution elevates the music. Many artists have dipped their toes into varying stylistic ponds, but Regina’s work has a startling authority whether she’s playing Paganini’s priceless violin on challenging classical works or redefining hard bop and jazz funk with like-minded leaders like Milt Jackson and James Carter. With her latest quartet, the MacArthur Fellowship winner digs into her Afro-Cuban, Motown, and world music inspirations. The results are ferociously grooving and moving.

Inside Jazz pre-concert talk by Alisa Clancy, KCSM Jazz 91.1 at 7 pm.

Personnel: Regina Carter, violin; Xavier Davis, piano; Jesse Murphy, bass; Alvester Garnett, drums
