James Carter is playing in the newly renovated Detroit Film Theater this Friday, July 27th at 8pm.
Sidemen for this date are Dwight Adams on trumpet, Ralphe Armstrong (bass), Gerard Gibbs (on piano – not organ this time), and Leonard King (drums).
I am especially fond of this lineup – although at $20 bucks I initially thought it was a bit steep. But hey – these are world class musicians that were talking about, and have you been to the DFT lately? Ambiance counts, in my book.
Come to think of it, I’ve never seen James or any of these guys play in a setting like this – it’s always been in a club or at a festival. And in those places (charming as they are) I always end up missing some of the performance because I’m talking to friends, trying to order a drink, or listening to the loud birthday party at the table next to me.
This will be a serious listening experience – and surely worth every penny of twenty bucks.
Highly recommended.
