The Center presents at THE TARKINGTON
Violin star and MacArthur “Genius” grant recipient, Regina Carter, is paired with jazz piano giant Kenny Barron in an intimate duet setting, first heard on their remarkable 2001 collaboration, Freefall. Barron is a 2010 NEA Jazz Master who has helped define and extend the jazz tradition. A nine-time Grammy nominee, his storied career has included extended associations with Stan Getz, Yusef Lateef and Freddie Hubbard. The Los Angeles Times named him "one of the top jazz pianists in the world” and Jazz Weekly called him “The most lyrical piano player of our time.”
Since emerging from the Detroit scene in the late 1980s, Carter has recorded a series of dazzling albums including Freefall, Motor City Moments, and Paganini: After A Dream. Winner of a coveted 2006 MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Fellowship, she began researching the African roots of the violin, resulting in her acclaimed 2010 recording Reverse Thread, an entrancing sojourn exploring compositions by artists from Kenya, Mali, and Senegal.
