Paradox Jazz Orchestra

About: James Carter

Rooted in Detroit and schooled in the jazz tradition from an early age, Carter plays with the unpredictability and force that have made him one of the most sought-after saxophonists of the past three decades. His live sets span the full jazz spectrum - from intimate ballads to full-throttle free jazz - with effortless switches between tenor, baritone and soprano.
