About this concert
Jazz violin virtuoso Regina Carter's Gone in a Phrase of Air is a journey through America's vibrant Black neighborhoods that were demolished in the name of urban renewal. With original music, historical music, spoken word poetry and visuals, this moving performance revisits vanished communities like Black Bottom and Paradise Valley in Carter's hometown of Detroit; Mill Creek Valley in St. Louis; the Hayti district in Durham, North Carolina; and Chicago's Bronzeville. Feel the vibrancy and spirit of these lost places under the masterful musical direction of Regina Carter: NEA Jazz Master, MacArthur "Genius" and Artistic Director of Geri Allen Jazz Camp, NJPAC's jazz residency for young women.

Absolutely wonderful. She gave a question and answer talk before the concert that was extremely interesting. During the concert she brought out a new young female bassist who knocked it out of the park! Jam packed house and the acoustics were amazing. She played songs from her Black Bottom playlist and it was really fun.

Regina Carter Biography
Regina Carter (born in Detroit, Michigan in 1966) is an American jazz violinist. She began as a classical violinist but became increasingly interested in jazz, and is considered one of the finest violinists in the genre. Carter attended Cass Technical High School.

In 1996, Regina Carter began leading her first band, an "electric band."
In December 2001, she played a concert in Genoa on the Cannone Guarnerius of Niccolò Paganini. Using the same violin, she later recorded Paganini: After a Dream for Verve Records. [1]
Active as an educator, mentor, and proponent of the Suzuki method[2], Carter has taught at numerous institutions, including at Berklee College of Music[3], and two appearances at Stanford Jazz Workshop.
