REGINA CARTER - I'll Be SeeingYou: A Sentimental Journey (2006)

Violinist Regina Carter has made a career out of blurring genre distinctions, bringing a classically steeped feel to her fusions of bop, swing, jazz, and pop. “I’ll Be Seeing You: A Sentimental Journey” continues the artist's ambitious project by taking on a variety of standards, including "St. Louis Blues," "A-Tisket, A-Tasket," and "I'll Be Seeing You." Yet Carter's journey is not one of mere nostalgia: her inventive musicianship and forward-thinking vision keep things fresh and relevant. Guest spots from vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater and clarinetist Paquito D'Rivera, among others, add spice and variety.
