Review

Early in 1998, saxophonist James Carter signed a modeling contract, perhaps explaining the title of this LP. His jazz chops, we are happy to report, have not suffered. On Fashion, Carter and his sax are all business. He is able to cool burn on slower numbers, recalling Ben Webster's smoldering ballads, then turn on a dime to deliver blistering runs of honk and skronk that seem intent on peeling the paint from the walls. Carter's horn playing is all about power and forceful delivery, but he is also capable of amazing control. And on Fashion, he dukes it out with hotshot keyboardist Cyrus Chestnut, here driving a Hammond B3 organ like he was piloting a Zamboni. Great stuff! --S. DudaDetroit-born saxophonist James Carter has proven on his three previous CDs that he's a multifaceted, jazz dynamo. His tenor sax playing can ache with the romantic silkiness of Ben Webster and then soar with the multiple ranges of David Murray. In Carterian Fashion ups the ante on listeners, with Carter and celebrated jazzman Cyrus Chesnutt getting downright soulful in the latter's first outing on Hammond B-3 organ. There would be no "Carterian Fashion," however, if there wasn't a wide and telling divergence among Carter's performances. He goes ballistic on a couple of freewheeling tunes, showing again how the avant-garde and mainstream in jazz are, in reality, kissing cousins when skillfully dashed together. And once again, fellow Detroit-native and pianist Craig Taborn hammers the keys with both subtlety and absolute directness. --Andrew Bartlett
