River City Jazz Masters presents James Carter Trio

The Arts Council’s River City Jazz Masters series brings the incredible James Carter Trio to the Capital City this Thursday for two shows at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Jazz saxophonist James Carter is a powerhouse musician and one of the most admired saxophonists of his generation. He returns to a favored format as the leader of his longstanding Organ Trio, performing rollicking swing numbers, moving ballads, gospel and blues. The Organ Trio is James Carter’s longest running and most cohesive band, with all members contributing tunes and arrangements to the trio’s book. Tickets are $25-$45 at manshiptheatre.org.
