SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Stanford Dinkelspiel Auditorium
(see times)
Regina Carter is constantly redefining the current sound of the violin in today's popular music. You've heard her powerful and intuitive soloing with a panoply of artists: Mary J. Blige, Billy Joel, Aretha Franklin, and Wynton Marsalis; as well as with her own ground-breaking groups. With every collaboration her contribution elevates the music. Many artists have dipped their toes into varying stylistic ponds, but Regina's work has a startling authority whether she's playing Paganini's priceless violin on challenging classical works or redefining hard bop and jazz funk with like-minded leaders like Milt Jackson and James Carter. With her latest quartet, the MacArthur Fellowship winner digs into her Afro-Cuban, Motown, and world music inspirations. The results are ferociously grooving and moving.
