I'm no afficiando..but saw this guy live and realized that all the other saxophonists I'd seen uptil then wasn't even in the running..one of the few artists to give me goosebumps and actually made me listen for the full hour and a half set...one of the greats
Razorsharpedge Agree! And funny you mention Django; the recordings of him playing at campground jam sessions at the 2015 Django Reinhardt Jazz Festival are worth watching. Try searching: "james carter #1 samois camping 2015"
I listen some amazing stuff, there is nothing Carter can’t do with his horn. Back to Getz though I enjoy my hearing and a softer sound. But nobody amazes like Carter, serious training and imagination.

I've never really loved that in ever solo he plays he uses every trick he has... but lord does he have absolute total command of the instrument, perhaps more than anyone in history. I just want to hear him play one solo straight up one day haha
DO NOT DO THAT PLEASE.!!!

Looking at these sophisticated player in comment telling how jame carter style is ‘unsophisticated’. JC up there playing on stage , and touring his musician life while these armchair musician complaining, oh well the irony
@Mr. Octobass I don't think he's "unsophisticated" in his approach to music. He's just in terrible taste. Furthermore, his solos have no shape. He's constantly grandstanding. I hear no real sincerity in his playing. And he's not the only saxophonist in Jazz history who's guilty of this. Earl Bostic was another incredibly gifted saxist (perhaps even more so than Parker) who had lousy taste and made an entire career out of grandstanding and show-boating. Illinois Jacquet did a shit-load of grandstanding but he could also play beautifully crafted solos. Roland Kirk as well.
It's hilarious how many "experts" are under the impression that someone gives a toss about their opinion about James Carter or any other musician or artist that is doing what they want to do. Those keystrokes could have better been used writing your own memoir. FOCUS.
Monsieur CARON none of us will forget the shock & surprise of Uzeb in Zapata's Lounge Halifax 1982 - I came looking for Carter doing theme from film Winter Meeting with his trio, then saw this was your upload and had to investigate! regards to you and PS this big band is mixed beautifully outdoors - whatever became of your incredible FOH engineer, with whom we spoke in club 35 years ago?
Every now and then he plays wonderfully, but even at his age he just *can't resist the fucking showboating.* Somebody should tell him to stop the goofy shit and EDIT HIMSELF. Even Illinois Jacquet didn't do all of that clowning.
I'm pretty sure he is a giant standing on several giants shoulders, somebody put some time in and then .... a new age is born his unique sound. My brain hurts after I listen.

Yes, he's a great Saxophones.
I love how the guitarist was completely enthralled with JC’s playing. I think he’s the best saxophonist of all time, alive or dead
If this guy can't make you love the sax, then nobody can.
Mr. Carter is from another atmosphere!! Wow! Love this guy!!
Mr. Carter is an exception to the jazz world's rules , & I approved this message.🔥🎷
Complete and utter command over his horn.......he thinks it; he sounds it. Bloody brilliant.
I love me some James carter! he is the real deal!......no imitation, authentic!
Amazing musician. Very cool guy. Love the way his humorous, cheeky side pours out through the bell of the horn.
0:40 is the best effect in the world
I think he is channeling Ben Webster with that puff sound.
Swing my freaking tail off...mother-of-God that was genius!
Great player ! ...Love the Lawton mouthpiece.....
The first tune on "Sonny Stitt with the Oscar Peterson Trio".
Such a good tune! Every song from that album is great.
Sempre achei James Carter acima do "estratosférico". O sax é simplesmente um tubo nas mãos dele, ele faz o que quer, o que sua mente quer. Magnífico!
What a high killing pitch note James! Greeting from Jazz man, Kuala Lumpur.
Le meilleur de James Carter,je ne me lasse pas de le réécouter .
This man has the best dance moves.
James Carter is the Django Reinhardt of now. He plays with such freedom and verve. Unpredictably improvising I rate him with the best ones.
Razorsharpedge Agree! And funny you mention Django; the recordings of him playing at campground jam sessions at the 2015 Django Reinhardt Jazz Festival are worth watching. Try searching:
"james carter #1 samois camping 2015"
Chris Potter numero uno, JC is great too
Woooooow he may be the best jazz saxophonist 😢what an energy an technic .I feel sorry not knowing him up to now😢
James Carter, I Can't give you anything but Love..thnx, Alain great..
James Carter is the Michael Jackson/Michael Jordan of Saxophones. He's THE household name in the Saxophone world.
I listen some amazing stuff, there is nothing Carter can’t do with his horn. Back to Getz though I enjoy my hearing and a softer sound. But nobody amazes like Carter, serious training and imagination.
@3:36 Mad "Fascinating Rhythm" quote, James Carter is the man :)
this guy is amazing
degenera el sonido dandoles un matiz diferente,fantastic
You can sure tell when he’s having a good time!
When I need inspiration I watch this
Gee, but it's tough to be broke, kid.
It's not a joke, kid, it's a curse.
My luck is changing, it's gotten from
simply rotten to something worse
Who knows, some day I will win too.
I'll begin to reach my prime.
Now though I see what our end is,
All I can spend is just my time.
I can't give you anything but love, baby.
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby.
Dream awhile, scheme awhile

Happiness and I guess
All those things you've always pined for.

3:38 fascinating rhythm :p
Qué hacés escribiendo en inglés? jajja saludo

James For President
Okay, that whistle and slap (at 4:44) got me.
Omg He is saxphone monster.
When you see that funky shit on your reed but it’s time to play
Magnifique ! Même stochelo n'en croit pas ses oreilles !!
+XELA ALEX 😊
going to throw my sax in the canal tomorow
DO NOT DO THAT PLEASE.!!! Of course I know you won't😎

thanks for your advice khurram,you made me feel better,i just wont lison to the talented twats
Well, good idea! I'd do the same, but I'd have to go fish it back from the canal first!
Don't. Just do whatever it is Carter DOESN'T do, which is tell a story with your horn.
Timothy Lee same here bro😂
indimenticabili giornate!!!!
magnifico!! un assolo veramente gradevole
Davide Baylon
truly the best saxophonist alive!
+Nathaniel Miller Hard to say. There's also Joshua Redman, Alex Han.... but he is fantastic for sure ! and the sound he does, make him unique ahah.
Nandayo and pepper adams
Oh man, you don't listen to anyone other than the wack players then...
Chris potter is the best
Dont forget Ben Wendel.
King of contemporary
He's an amazing sax solist
Sublime!!
my hero right there
Looking at these sophisticated player in comment telling how jame carter style is ‘unsophisticated’. JC up there playing on stage , and touring his musician life while these armchair musician complaining, oh well the irony
Too much flash and dazzle and minstrelizing. He can't play a coherent solo, which is why he resorts to all that off-the-wall jive.
@Mr. Octobass I don't think he's "unsophisticated" in his approach to music. He's just in terrible taste. Furthermore, his solos have no shape. He's constantly grandstanding. I hear no real sincerity in his playing. And he's not the only saxophonist in Jazz history who's guilty of this.

Masterful!
great james---awesome - keep on-Sub-
that guitar player. He's Stochelo Rosenberg?
Yes
Yeah :)
i need help guys even tho all of you here might be sax bias but what should i pick up sax or trumpet
Saxophone is easier to learr. but if you get good at trumpet and can really play style then youll be a beast as a trumpet player.
Jakub Kopras sax gets you bitches. Just saying it how it is. If you wanna be badass, go for sax.
JURASSIC !
MONDIAL!!!!! MR:!!
His reed must've been shredded after this-- what a beast!
Ray M. I was at Yoshi's in Oakland about the time you wrote your comment, and he must have gone through 10 reeds. He just kept popping them off .
也不给我伙计们几个镜头，是因为这是他个人团队拍的，牛逼个人秀哈哈。
Me encanta
It's hilarious how many "experts" are under the impression that someone gives a toss about their opinion about James Carter or any other musician or artist that is doing what they want to do. Those keystrokes could have better been used writing your own memoir. FOCUS.
Super cool😂
Show! Tocar muito
DESMANCHA TUDO.... DESMONTA TUDO... DEPOIS MONTA... MUITO BOM!
Lol he looked very worried about his reed at the beginning of the video 😂
I've heard that Carter smash a couple of reed each one show
King Carter.

Joshua Redman. Or is he not accomplished enough?

Ever Valenzuela

incrivel
오우!!! 어메이징^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hi guys, Iam from Brazil, what the mouthpiece his is using?
Geoff Lawton BB custom
It's Not Me Who you want 💋👀🖤😊
this style cannot be rendered without reverb! the mic is dry & this basically leaves James sounding flat
No reverb needed.
What arrangement is this?
An imitation Earl Bostik
Yes, him and Lockjaw
I'm pretty sure he is a giant standing on several giants shoulders, somebody put some time in and then .... a new age is born his unique sound. My brain hurts after I listen.
+Michael McDermott He is one bad dude; they don't make them like him very often, if ever...love him.
It’s like poor James Carter now lol at least he has Jackie Chan
if only there was a transcription
+Blake Bradley Use your ears :) May be grueling at first but each one you do after will get easier, it's worth it, good luck!
Tem boca não o cara regasssa kkk
Carter has definitely studied Arnette Cobb
0:15 - 0:21 Oml XD
0:20
