The James Carter Trio
James Carter ( Soprano, Alto and Tenor Sax )
Gerard Gibbs ( Hammond Organ )
Alex White ( drums )
If you want to make a list of the worlds
"Five Greatest Saxophonists"
James Carter
would have to be on it, and maybe he would be # 1.
His technique is not surpassed.
Neither is his lyric inventiveness
Nor his rhythmic driving pulse.
On the Alto ( above )
and on the Soprano Saxophone ( below )
he speaks to you like no-one I have ever heard.
Alex White:
Unassuming, quiet, rhythmically driving, sometimes almost threatening,
precise to the utmost and imaginative,
He is the consummate drummer.
A throbbing sonorous sound
barking
edgy
aggressive
then
lyrical,
smooth
from the highest
to the lowest register
A Tenor Sax like no other!
Gerard Gibbs
makes his Hammond Organ sound like a whole Orchestra.
Close your eyes and you would swear there is before you:
a Trombone, a Contra bass, a Violin, a Piccolo Flute
and almost any other instrument you have ever heard.
Who brought this World Group to Bleiburg ?
"Arthur Ottowitz"
the cultural Guru of this town.
For his successful efforts over the years
to attract the finest the music world has to offer,
and particularly for bringing us James Carter
He deserves a Gold Medal.
