Regina Carter and Kenny Barron
Enjoy a rare combined concert by a master jazz violinist and a legendary pianist.
Experience the natural and captivating blend of violin and piano in jazz, masterfully performed by Regina Carter and Kenny Barron. The duo’s release, Freefall, recorded in New York in late 2000, “is close to flawless,” says JazzTimes.
Freefall showcases a tremendous range of styles, combining Afro-Cuban flavours with a delicate Sting cover and a bluesy take on Thelonious Monk. The duo ventures into intriguing territory with the quirky Barron original What If and the improvised title track, reminiscent of early 20th-century classical composers like Bartók and Stravinsky.
Kenny Barron, hailed as one of the top jazz pianists worldwide, is an eleven-time Grammy nominee known for his work with legendary musicians like Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard, and Stan Getz. Regina Carter, recognized with prestigious awards, including the National Endowment For the Arts Jazz Master, has collaborated with esteemed artists like Wynton Marsalis and Dolly Parton.
Freefall presents not only technical excellence but also emotional richness, captivating listeners with the duo's genuine class and spontaneity. Don't miss this extraordinary musical experience.
