February 21 - Awared Winning Jazz Violinist - Regina Carter
Carter first came into the spotlight as the violinist for the all female pop-jazz quintet Straight Ahead (to c1995), with Cynthia Dewberry, Gailyn Mckinney, Eilleen Orr, and Marion Hayden. In the early to mid 90’s, Branford Marsalis was quoted as saying, "They truly swing.” They released a trio of albums on the Atlantic Jazz label including their self-titled debut, Body and Soul, and Look Straight Ahead. Carter went solo before the release of their third album Dance of the Forest Rain and began an impressive run, establishing herself as a force in the jazz world on the violin.
