"The Genious" knows how to pick 'em!,
By smoothjazzandmore (Ogdensburg, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Friday at Five (Audio CD)
Carr was the lead guitarist for the late, great musical genius, Ray Charles and went on tour with his orchestra during the last 10 years of his life. He also worked with another great Jazz Guitarist, the late Ray Brown. It's easy to see why Charles selected Carr. He has an exciting guitar style that's similar to another great guitarist, Larry Carlton. There's allot of energy in his playing. It seems like he's having fun and he wants us to enjoy his playing as well. The tracks New York Shuffle and Gramercy Groove are evident of his years of experience. My personal favorite track on the CD is "Coast to Coast". His debut, CD is a collection of blues and jazz tracks that will satisfy the lively listener as well as the relaxed.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Toe-tappin' jazz!,

This review is from: Friday at Five (Audio CD)
I love this debut CD from a guitarist I've watched play live a number of times at Ray Charles concerts when the master was still alive. There is very little weakness here; all the tracks reward a close listen. A couple of the songs -- all originals -- are pure genius. I have "Friday at Five" and "Exit" as power songs on my ipod, they really get me running! The tone of Carr's guitar is pure, much like early Benson. Through the fuzz box you get a strong rock vibe that really grooves. All good stuff. Highly recommended!
