The title of this project is aptly-named. Regina Carter, a Detroit-born, classically-trained jazz violinist, traveled to Genoa, Italy in December, 2001, and performed on Paganini’s legendary Guarneri violin nicknamed “the Canon.” After winning the hearts of the skeptical Italians, with armed gunmen surveying her every move, Carter played flawlessly, and became the first jazz musician and African-American to the play the instrument. The next year, Carter returned to Genoa, recorded on Paginini’s violin and performed a pleasing program of crossover-friendly light classics, South American compositions, a movie tune, and original works. Produced and arranged by Jorge Calandrelli and Ettore Strata, and backed by a combo led by pianist Werner “Vana” Gierig, the selections, while not exactly groundbreaking, successfully show off Carter’s impeccable and soulful playing, and the violin’s rich and reverent tones. An 18-piece orchestra supports Carter on Ravel’s “Pavane pour une infante defunte,” Piazzolla’s “Oblivion,” and Ennio Morrricone’s Cinema Paradiso theme. Borislav Strulev’s cello co-stars on Luiz Bonfa’s “Black Orpheus (Manha de Carnaval)” and Faure’s “Apres un reve.” For Debussy’s “Reverie,” Carter delivers some straight-ahead swing. In sum: She came, she saw, she conquered and, she swung. –Eugene Holley, Jr.

El título de este proyecto es muy apropiado. Regina Carter, una violinista de jazz nacida en Detroit y con formación clásica, viajó a Génova (Italia) en diciembre de 2001 y actuó con el legendario violín Guarneri de Paganini, apodado "el Canon". Tras ganarse el corazón de los escépticos italianos, con hombres armados vigilando cada uno de sus movimientos, Carter tocó de forma impecable y se convirtió en el primer músico de jazz y afroamericano en tocar el instrumento. Al año siguiente, Carter regresó a Génova, grabó con el violín de Paginini e interpretó un agradable programa de clásicos ligeros, composiciones sudamericanas, una melodía de película y obras originales. Producido y arreglado por Jorge Calandrelli y Ettore Strata, y respaldado por un combo dirigido por el pianista Werner "Vana" Gierig, las selecciones, aunque no son precisamente rompedoras, muestran con éxito la impecable y conmovedora forma de tocar de Carter, y los ricos y reverentes tonos del violín. Una orquesta de 18 músicos apoya a Carter en la "Pavane pour une infante defunte" de Ravel, "Oblivion" de Piazzolla y el tema Cinema Paradiso de Ennio Morrricone. El violonchelo de Borislav Strulev es coprotagonista de "Black Orpheus (Manha de Carnaval)" de Luiz Bonfa y "Apres un reve" de Faure. Para "Reverie" de Debussy, Carter ofrece un swing directo. En resumen: Llegó, vio, conquistó y se columpió. -Eugene Holley, Jr.
