1	Layin' in the Cut (2000) more music like this by James Carter The second of James Carter's pair of 2000 releases shifts wildly, and perhaps trendily, toward electric funk, as the title cut proclaims within seconds. It's really a loose, collective electric jam session with all of the risks, occasional hot streaks, and passages of torpor that the term implies. Oddly enough, the tracks that really make it are ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.90!
2	Live at Baker's Keyboard Lounge (2004) more music like this by James Carter Between 1995 and 2004, Detroit saxophonist James Carter released several conceptual discs: a salute to Django Reinhardt (Chasin' the Gypsy), electric-era Miles Davis (Layin' in the Cut), jazz ballads (Real Quiet Storm), and a lush Billie Holiday tribute (Gardenias for Lady Day). With the release of each disc, the unavoidable question remained: ... see all copies from $7.25! new only from $18.20!
3	In Carterian Fashion (1998) more music like this by James Carter James Carter is the Arturo Sandoval of the reeds, a remarkable virtuoso who can seemingly do anything he wants on his horns. It is just a matter of passing time and accomplishments accumulating before Carter is thought of as one of the all-time greats. This particular CD, In Carterian Fashion, differs from his earlier ones in that Carter (who ... see all copies from $7.86! new only from $10.76!
4	The Real Quiet Storm (1994) more music like this by James Carter Despite this CD's title and a slight emphasis on ballads, The Real Quiet Storm is not an easy listening record. James Carter, one of the great new discoveries of the 1990s (and whose versatility, brilliance on a variety of reed instruments, and seeming encyclopedic knowledge of jazz styles makes him a possible successor to Rahsaan Roland Kirk) is ... see all copies from $9.51! new only from $10.71!
5	Conversin' with the Elders (1995) more music like this by James Carter The brilliant saxophonist James Carter and his quartet (which also includes pianist Craig Taborn, bassist Jaribu Shahid and drummer Tani Tabbal) welcome some of Carter's musical heroes as guests throughout Conversin' with the Elders. Carter matches wits with the eccentric trumpeter Lester Bowie on "Freereggaehibop" and the often-hilarious "Atitled ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.00!
6	You Sleigh Me: Alternative Christmas Hits (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99!
7	Spew (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.97!
8	Coward of the County (1999) more music like this by Ginger Baker/DJQ20/James Carter During the early '90s, Ginger Baker gradually established his reputation as a genuine jazz musician, proving that he was no rocker that was merely dabbling. Of course, anyone familiar with Cream will realize that he was among rock's jazziest drummers, but his series of records with Bill Frisell convinced many doubters of his musical merit. On one ... see all copies from $8.85! new only from $11.31!
9	Chasin' the Gypsy (2000) more music like this by James Carter James Carter celebrated 2000 by putting out two vastly different albums at the same time, an amazing concession from a major label for a jazz artist who doesn't sell in Kenny G-like proportions. Chasin' the Gypsy, as you might guess, is an homage to Django Reinhardt, whose music Carter used to dig on Detroit radio when he was a teenager, but ... see all copies from $3.54! new only from $14.88!
10	Gardenias for Lady Day (2003) more music like this by James Carter Following up his 2000 tribute to guitarist Django Reinhardt, Chasin' the Gypsy, saxophonist James Carter pays homage to iconic jazz singer Billie Holiday on Gardenias for Lady Day. Perhaps never before has the jazz iconoclast balanced so perfectly his "big top" avant-garde leanings with his more pinstriped traditionalist aesthetic. This is a ... see all copies from $7.25! new only from $7.25!
11 view cover	Out of Nowhere (2005) more music like this by James Carter Organ Trio Recorded in 2004 at the Blue Note in New York, Out of Nowhere finds James Carter paired up with fellow Detroiters Gerard Gibbs on organ and Leonard King on drums for the unofficial sequel to Live at Baker's Keyboard Lounge. While the trio revitalizes the standard "Out of Nowhere" and breezes through Benny Golson's jazz classic "Along Came Betty," ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
12 view cover	Gold Sounds (2005) more music like this by James Carter/Cyrus Chestnut/Ali Jackson/Reginald Veal Given the glut of "String Quartet Tribute to So and So," "Electronic Tribute to Some Crappy Band," and "Pickin' on Whomever" "tributes," it's somewhat surprising that no one has tackled Pavement in a tribute album -- not until now, at any rate. And even more surprising is that it's not one of those aforementioned knockoffs; it's a heavyweight jazz ... see all copies from $8.00!
13 view cover	Jurassic Classics (1994) more music like this by James Carter The young but already great saxophonist James Carter explores seven jazz standards with pianist Craig Taborn (himself a young master capable of playing in several styles), bassist Jaribu Shahid, and drummer Tani Tabbal. Among the most versatile and knowledgeable of today's saxophonists, Carter draws on many top stylists during these lengthy solos, ... see all copies from $25.87! new only from $25.87!
14 view cover	Philadelphia Boogie (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Collectables' Philadelphia Boogie has nothing to do with the city; rather, the title comes from one of the songs contained within. The tracks on the collection are by artists from all over the U.S. and were released during the '40s and '50s by labels like Roy Milton's Milltone and Ivin Ballen's Gotham subsidiary, 20th Century. The tracks are a ... see all copies from $15.00!
15 view cover	JC on the Set (1993) more music like this by James Carter Twenty-five at the time of this CD, James Carter had already absorbed much of the tradition. His debut as a leader includes compositions by the classic tenors Don Byas and John Hardee, Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady" and even a Sun Ra ballad. He also shows that he has the courage to play completely outside whenever it seems logical to him; ... see all copies from $16.94!
16 view cover	Present Tense (2008) more music like this by James Carter Present Tense was born out of two very specific desires. First, saxophonist James Carter wanted a precise recorded portrait of where he was at as a musician, aesthetically and technically. Second was producer Michael Cuscuna's dead-on assertion that Carter, for all his instrumental and aesthetic virtuosity, had never been represented well on tape. ... see all copies from $10.06! new only from $13.37!
17 view cover	Gardenias for Lady Day [Hybrid Sacd] (2004) more music like this by James Carter see all copies from $24.82! new only from $38.79!
