Music Review: How Jazz Is SUPPOSED To Sound....
Rating: 5 Stars
If you're a big fan of Kenny G., you might just as well stop reading this review right now. This disc is real jazz, thoughtfully created and carried out with inspired improvisation. "In Carterian Fashion" is an album of 10 awesome tracks and no gimicks. Even more so than, Joshua Redmond ( I'm a big fan of his too), Carter is the torchbearer carrying true jazz into the new millenium. A "young lion", as it were. To me, the true test for jazz players is being able to shine in a small combo setting and it seems that today, there's way too much production and electrified funk. Put a handful of players into a room and see what happens. In this case it's a resounding success. Jazz still lives and all is right within the musical world. This is Carter's fifth album as a leader, and he's not quite thirty. He's had a full apprenticeship with such luminaries as Lester Bowie and Julius Hemphill of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, one of the most far reaching aggregates in jazz history. Though he's often compared with Rahsaan Roland Kirk, he reminds me more of Eric Dolphy. Though he principally plays tenor sax, he plays all of them and even a delightful growling bass clarinet on "Odyssey". He makes his instruments howl and moan during some solos, yet keeps it all plain and somber on others. He's joined here by a stellar ensemble Craig Taborn, Henry Butler, and Cyrus Chestnut on Hammond and a perfectly suited rhythm section comprised of bassist Jaribu Shahid and, alternately, Tani Tabbal or Leonard King behind the traps. His brother, P-Funker Kevin Carter makes a welcome appearance on guitar (the only electrified material, still rather unembellished), and Dwight Adams shines on trumpet. The rest of the crew dazzles too, and this, to my ears is how small combo jazz is meant to sound. The tunes a re all captivating and the production minimal. Why aren't more players using this time tested formula? Nothing here could possibly be improved upon. It's all just superb music making. If you like classic jazz with cascading solos over solid, straight ahead ensemble playing, this is a release sure to please.

In Carterian Fashion by James CarterThis product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
Early in 1998, saxophonist James Carter signed a modeling contract, perhaps explaining the title of this LP. His jazz chops, we are happy to report, have not suffered. On Fashion, Carter and his sax are all business. He is able to cool burn on slower numbers, recalling Ben Webster's smoldering ballads, then turn on a dime to deliver blistering runs of honk and skronk that seem intent on peeling the paint from the walls. Carter's horn playing is all about power and forceful delivery, but he is also capable of amazing control. And on Fashion, he dukes it out with hotshot keyboardist Cyrus Chestnut, here driving a Hammond B3 organ like he was piloting a Zamboni. Great stuff! --S. Duda
Detroit-born saxophonist James Carter has proven on his three previous CDs that he's a multifaceted, jazz dynamo. His tenor sax playing can ache with the romantic silkiness of Ben Webster and then soar with the multiple ranges of David Murray. In Carterian Fashion ups the ante on listeners, with Carter and celebrated jazzman Cyrus Chesnutt getting downright soulful in the latter's first outing on Hammond B-3 organ. There would be no "Carterian Fashion," however, if there wasn't a wide and telling divergence among Carter's performances. He goes ballistic on a couple of freewheeling tunes, showing again how the avant-garde and mainstream in jazz are, in reality, kissing cousins when skillfully dashed together. And once again, fellow Detroit-native and pianist Craig Taborn hammers the keys with both subtlety and absolute directness. --Andrew Bartlett
