One of the most important saxophonists in jazz emerged in the 90's, James Carter was “the one who bridged the gap” between the avant-garde of the sixties and the swing of mainstream jazz, a purely formal assessment if not formalistic for the “experts”.
James Carter with the advent of the new century has shown that he shares common features with Albert Ayler and Pharoah Sanders as well as with Django Reinhardt or Billie Holiday, which is natural for a thinking creative musician of contemporary jazz.
Playing sax, flute and clarinet, Carter excelled as one of the most comprehensive modern jazzman. His organ trio with Gerard Gibbs in Hammond came about naturally in the middle of the decade, indicating that the path followed by James Carter keeps equal distance from the predictable or expected and far 'n out or simply adventurous. The groove in his case may be related to a wildly emotive music grounded in bebop and pure blues, but can be full of surprises…
