Editorial Reviews

Violinist Regina Carter's able to cover ample stylistic terrain without any sense of a tourist's itinerary. Her signature excursions on Rhythms of the Heart reveal a jaunty joie de vivre reminiscent of Stephane Grappelli, best showcased on "Lady Be Good" and Tadd Dameron's "Our Delight." But there are also credible forays into salsa with "Mojito," Afro-pop with "Mandingo Street" (featuring Cameroonian multi-instrumentalist and composer Richard Bona), and soulful reggae on a cover of the Temptations' "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," where vocalist Cassandra Wilson provides her trademark hushed refinement. A longtime sidewoman for trombonist Steve Turre and others, Carter proves adept at fostering ideal forums for her cohorts, particularly pianist Kenny Barron, whose tune "Cook's Bay" is a pastoral gem, and whose exchanges with Carter on "N.Y. Attitude" ensure that's there's a graceful depth to the song's brisk efficiency. Finally, don't overlook the pensive beauty of Carter's take on the ballad "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most." --Britt Robson
Review
Cassandra Wilson's influence is spreading. And while it might be difficult to imitate her vocal style, musicians of all sorts are learning that jazz artists can afford to be eclectic without sacrificing the strength and unity of their own voices. Regina Carter, the terrific young violinist, opens and closes her new disc with standard-issue stuff: a swinging romp through "Oh, Lady, Be Good!" and a sexy slide across "Skeeter's Blues." But between tracks one and 10, there are a lot of nice surprises, including a delicious guest appearance by Ms. Wilson singing "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone." Just try keeping your finger off the repeat button after that tune.
Carter has tools, make no mistake. Her tone is deeply textured, and her fingers fly. Her pitch is perfect. She also knows how to deliver a melody so that you can hear the song's words in your mind, understand their message, and gain a sense of how they make her feel. In Carter's hands, "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" is terribly sad, and not just because the tempo is slow. the power is in her sound. Lewis Nash stands out on drums, and Kenny Barron turns in four tasty piano tracks. Acoustic guitarist Romero Lubambo performs an exquisite duet with Carter on "By the Brook."
But the best thing about this CD is Carter's sense of adventure. One gets the idea that she feels not at all confined by the violin, although it is surely one of the stepchildren of the jazz family. She can play the violin like a horn or she can use it to gain the effect of a full string section. At times, she sounds thoroughly modern; at others, like she's happily dipping into the swing era. In fact, Carter dips into so many different eras and styles that she defies simple categorization. There's '70s-style funk, bouncy Latin grooves, and a cool African percussion section. After two or three listens, you don't think of this as violin music. It's hip music. And it's Regina Carter's very own.

This CD also marks the appearnce of Kenny Baron, what an awesome treat! His piano really kicks it up a notch. And for all of you Cassandra Wilson fans out there, she makes a brooding appearance on track #3 "Papa was a rolling stone." I didn't care too much for "Mandingo Street." It seemed a tad too experimental and belonged in another CD, but fall in love with track #6, "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most." It 's a quite, romantic piece with Baron's translucent piano and Carter's weepy violin. It inspires complete amore, even if you're devoid of any amorous proclivities. Trust me.
I do have to give this a 4 star rating only because it isn't as brillaint as the previous two but nevertheless, it's worth owning.

Daß Regina in Deutschland fast unbekannt ist, liegt eindeutig an der Blödheit und Borniertheit der Musikverlage, die sich eigentlich nur noch über "Raubkopien" wirklich Gedanken machen, und sonst alles außerhalb des Mainstream nicht mehr propagieren.
