 Rhythms Of The Heart - Regina Carter, Music Downloads - Online
Review: Regina Carter definitely has a lot of room to run in the jazz world with the violin, an instrument that has been selected by relatively few for compelling reasons; a)., the sheer difficulty of mastering the contraption, and b)., the rigorous, non-swinging, non-improvising classical training that usually produces that mastery.
Some of the conservatory still lingers in Carter's formal stage stance and in traces of the music, but there is no doubt that she can swing mightily, if not yet with the consistently eloquent ease of the old masters.
Carter also tries out a mild salsa groove on "Mojito," and a nice, revolving African beat on "Mandingo Street" in the manner of early-'90s Jean-Luc Ponty.
