Last year violinist/bandleader Regina Carter made an indelible mark on the jazz world. In addition to displaying her brilliance and spunk as a performing artist by indefatigably touring the world, the perennial jazz violin poll winner was also roundly applauded for her debut Verve outing, Rhythms of the Heart. At the time of its release, the CD was praised by Time magazine’s Christopher John Farley, who wrote: "...Carter creates music that is wonderfully listenable, probingly intelligent and, at times, breathtakingly daring." A few months later the album was chosen as one of Time’s top ten recordings of 1999.
With her follow-up, Motor City Moments, a celebration of the music of her hometown of Detroit, Carter once again demonstrates that she is one of today's most exciting and original jazz musicians.
Chosen as one of Time magazine's top 10 albums of 1999, Motor City Moments not only pays tribute to Detroit via the music a rich mix of soul-to-swing gems written by an array of Motor City musicians including popsters Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder and jazz greats Thad Jones and Milt Jackson but the CD also stars such Detroit natives as Belgrave, pianist Barry Harris and saxophonist James Carter, the violinist's second cousin.
Includes liner notes by Regina Carter and Bob Blumenthal.

Violinist Regina Carter is a highly original soloist whose sophisticated technique and rich, lush tone took the jazz world by pleasant surprise when she arrived in New York from her native Detroit. And jazz fans weren't the only people who heard that mercurial quality in her playing: artists as diverse as Faith Evans, Elliot Sharp, and Mary J. Blige have employed her talents on their recordings, as has filmmaker Ken Burns on his soundtrack for The Civil War. Add this to an extremely long list of jazzers that includes Tom Harrell, Wynton Marsalis, and Oliver Lake. Carter began playing her instrument at age four and attended Detroit's prestigious Cass Technical High School. Upon graduating, she departed for the new England Conservatory of Music, only to return to Michigan to join the all-female jazz quartet Straight Ahead. After two recordings for the Atlantic label, Carter left the band in 1994 in search of a solo career. She had already been doing session work in the city and sought to make the move permanent. Carter found herself working with Max Roach, the String Trio of New York, and the Uptown String Quartet before recording her self-titled debut recording on Atlantic in 1995. Its mixture of R&B, pop, and jazz confused jazz fans and delighted pop critics. It sold well enough for her to record Something for Grace, which leaned in the jazz direction, though it featured R&B sheen in its production. Carter left Atlantic for Verve in 1998 and recorded two more outings under her own name, the last of which, Motor City Moments, is her finest session. In 2001, Carter recorded a duet session with Kenny Barron that has been universally acclaimed for its lyrical qualities and stunning range of dynamics and harmonic invention. She has since released the classical-influenced Paganini: After a Dream in 2003 and the American songbook album I'll Be Seeing You: A Sentimental Journey in 2006.
