ABOUT REGINA'S WORK
Regina Carter is a master of improvisational jazz violin. Though her work draws upon a wide range of musical influences — including Motown, Afro-Cuban, swing, bebop, folk and world music — she has crafted a signature voice and style. In jazz, bowed string instruments such as the violin are not traditionally featured in the solo role; Carter’s performances highlight the often overlooked potential of the jazz violin for its lyric, melodic, and percussive potential. Her early training as a classical musician is reflected in the fluidity, grace, and balance of her performance.  Carter’s repertoire retains a firm connection with the familiar while venturing in new, unexpected directions. On recordings such as Motor City Moments (2000), where she overlays swing with a soulful sound, and Freefall (2001), a collaboration with jazz legend Kenny Barron, Carter taps into a broad musical vocabulary to weave new sound tapestries. In live performances with jazz veterans and in ensembles, she captivates her audience with the passion and spirit of adventure intrinsic to her approach to music. Through artistry with an instrument that has been defined predominantly by the classical tradition, Carter is pioneering new possibilities for the violin and for jazz.

BIOGRAPHY
Regina Carter studied violin performance at the New England Conservatory of Music and received a B.A. (1985) in music from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. Her additional solo recordings include Regina Carter (1995), Something for Grace (1997), Rhythms of the Heart (1999), Paganini: After a Dream (2002), and I’ll Be Seeing You: A Sentimental Journey (2006). Carter has performed at venues throughout the United States and Europe, including Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and Teatro Carlo Felice, Genoa, Italy.

关于雷吉娜的工作
雷吉娜-卡特是一位即兴演奏的爵士小提琴大师。尽管她的作品受到了广泛的音乐影响--包括摩城、非洲-古巴、摇摆乐、贝波普、民谣和世界音乐--但她已经精心打造了一种标志性的声音和风格。在爵士乐中，像小提琴这样的弓弦乐器传统上不以独奏为特色；卡特的表演突出了爵士乐小提琴在抒情、旋律和打击方面经常被忽视的潜力。她早期接受的古典音乐训练反映在她演奏的流畅、优雅和平衡上。 卡特的曲目既保持了与人们熟悉的曲目的紧密联系，又在新的、意想不到的方向上有所突破。在诸如《汽车城时刻》（Motor City Moments）（2000年）和《自由落体》（Freefall）（2001年）（与爵士乐传奇人物肯尼-巴伦合作）等唱片中，卡特利用广泛的音乐词汇来编织新的声音织锦。在与爵士乐老手的现场表演和合奏中，她用她对音乐固有的激情和冒险精神吸引了她的观众。通过对一种主要由古典传统定义的乐器的艺术处理，卡特正在为小提琴和爵士乐开拓新的可能性。

个人简历
雷吉娜-卡特在新英格兰音乐学院学习小提琴演奏，并在密歇根州罗切斯特的奥克兰大学获得音乐学士学位（1985）。她的其他独奏唱片包括Regina Carter（1995）、Something for Grace（1997）、Rhythms of the Heart（1999）、Paganini。梦之后》（2002年）和《我会见到你》。伤感之旅》（2006）。卡特曾在美国和欧洲各地演出，包括林肯中心的爱丽丝-塔利音乐厅、约翰-肯尼迪表演艺术中心和意大利热那亚的卡洛-费利斯剧院。
