“Listening to saxophonist James Carter is mind-blowing,” declares The Washington Post. From moonlit ballads to funky grooves and the most cerebral post-bop, whether in an intimate club or on a festival’s main stage, the Detroit-born saxophonist seems to encapsulate the entire history of jazz in a single set. The New York Times, for its part, has described James Carter as “one of jazz’s most charismatic and powerful soloists,” noting his complete mastery of his instruments. On the intimate stage of the Théâtre de Verdure, James Carter will fill the evening with his talent and musical sensitivity.
