Instrument: Saxophone
Genre: Jazz
Origin: united states
Now Carter presents us with James Carter’s Elektrik Outlet, a new configuration within which he has found a new groove to explore. Shifting
his sax into a keen array of electronics and pedals just might be the perfect "outlet" for Carter to tap into that "frustrated guitarist" that he often
describes himself to be. An excellent selection of tunes from Eddie Harris, Gene Ammons, Al Jarreau, Stevie Wonder, Minnie Ripperton and others provides
impetus for Carter’s Elektrik Outlet to sizzle, slide, and pop. Adding energy to the group are fellow Detroit artists, Gerard Gibbs on electronic keyboards,
Ralphe Armstrong on electric bass and Alex White on drums.
Line Up:
James Carter – Saxophones (altered via effect pedals)
Gerard Gibbs – electronic keyboards
Ralphe Armstrong – electric bass
Alex White - drums

"Make no mistake: Carter…who has emerged as one of the brightest stars in jazzdom, was the man. His performance was nothing short of a virtuoso clinic, a toe-tapping, heart-stopping, smile making romp."
Lawrence B. Johnson, DETROIT NEWS
"This is James Carter in the present tense, at the full height of his jaw-dropping powers, swooping through a new concerto he premiered in October with the Detroit Symphony."
