James Carter • Jurassic Classics

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
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, yet always sounds quite individual. His violent depiction of a train whistle on "Take the 'A' Train" perfectly launches that romp, and he also really stretches out on "Epistrophy," plays the blues on John Coltrane's "Equinox," and shows quite a bit of fire on "Oleo." A very stimulating session.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El joven pero ya gran saxofonista James Carter explora siete estándares de jazz con el pianista Craig Taborn (él mismo un joven maestro capaz de tocar en varios estilos), el bajista Jaribu Shahid, y el baterista Tani Tabbal. Carter, uno de los saxofonistas más versátiles y expertos de la actualidad, se inspira en muchos de los mejores estilistas durante estos largos solos, aunque siempre suena bastante individual. Su violenta representación de un silbato de tren en "Take the 'A' Train" lanza perfectamente ese retozo, y también se estira realmente en "Epistrophy", toca el blues en "Equinox" de John Coltrane, y muestra bastante fuego en "Oleo". Una sesión muy estimulante.
