Wes, Thanks for the heads-up. There are 12 CD listed by Regina at Amazon and the sound samples are enough to get me interested.

Wes - Thanks for the heads-up! I will definately look for her and will make it a point to catch her live soon.

Jim (and Wes) - You may want to check out the release JAZZ STANDARDS ON MARS, by Robert Dick and the Soldier String Quartet (Enja). Though not the "leader" on this one, Ms Carter is prominantly featured as a soloist here. The sound is reference quality and the music is amazingly heady stuff! This disc features outstanding interpretations of Coltrane's "India," Hendrix's "Machine Gun" (Carter is awesome on this), two Dolphy pieces and Ornette's "Three Wishes" - with Carter playing the Jerrry Garcia lines! Not sure if it is still in print, but it is definately worth tracking down. . .

Thanks Wes - here goes another music order!
