We had seen Regina at the

We had seen Regina at the Blue Note with Kenny Barron a few years ago and couldn't wait to see her again . She didn't disappoint us. OUTSTANDING!!! It was our first time at Northrup and it is also a great venue. We are hug jazz fans and come to the cities quite often (100 miles). Neither of us had ever heard of the kora before. Great sound!!!!

Regina Carter's Ted Mann performance

This concert was an exquisite offering of sonic and visual delights, often achieving moments of such sublime transcendence that tears welled in one's eyes. Novel instrumentation employing combinations of violin, accordion, and 21-string kora produced music juxtaposing joyful jauntiness with haunting beauty.

Regina Carter concert

We expected this to be an incredible concert, but it so far exceeded our expectations!!! It was a pectacular exposure to a wide range of music, ethnomusic anthropology, and just incredibly fine musicianship. I hope they will be invited back; we would certainly come to hear them again. We haven't ordered the new CD yet but would like to do so.

Regina Carter's Reverse Thread

I agree, it was a fabulous show, I wish it would have gone on for a bit longer and more people should know who such an amazing talent is. Her band was fantastic, particularly the accordian player, of which I've never heard the instrument played so inventively, creatively and virtuostically.
One of the best shows so far this year.

Regina Taylor concert

What a fabulous concert! I only wish they could have played longer and that the theater had been full! What a shame more people didn't come to hear her.

Thanks for bringing this wonderful music to us.
