James Carter & Satish Robertson

On October 30, 2024, the James Carter Quintet performed on the stage of the Ostrów Cultural Center with a program entitled The Music of Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis. James Carter is a Detroit-based charismatic American Jazz musician who has worked with artists such as Lester Bowie, Wynton Marsalis, Frank Lowe, Cyrus Chestnut and Dee Dee Bridgewater. Carter has also played in the World Saxophone Quartet and the Charles Mingus Big Band. He is considered a virtuoso not only on the saxophone (alto, tenor and baritone), but also on the bass clarinet and flute. In 1993, at the age of only 24, he recorded his debut album “JC on the Set,” which earned him a breakthrough reputation among critics.

During the concert in Ostrów Wielkopolski, Carter's band included trumpeter Satish Robertson, pianist Gerard Gibbs, double bassist Hilliard Greene and drummer Elmar Frey. The musicians presented not only their leader's compositions, but also paid tribute to Eddie Davis, the American tenor saxophonist who died in 1986, to whose playing style and technique James Carter is now being compared to.
