"Carter creates music that is wonderfully listenable, probingly intelligent and, at times, breathtakingly daring."
The New York Times

Regina Carter is a master jazz violinist of great control, improvisational flexibility and wide-ranging style. Carter is one of the most significant and innovative violinists to emerge on the jazz scene in decades. Carrying on the legacy of Stephan Grappelli, Jean Luc-Ponty and Stuff Smith, Carter is keeping the jazz-violin flame alive. She's a true original, possessing the ability to integrate the finer elements of jazz, funk, American, Brazilian and soul music with an adventurous rhythmic sensibility. Carter demonstrates that she is one of today's most exciting and original jazz musicians. All performances will be recorded for an upcoming Carter "Live at Yoshi's" CD!
