With her album, Regina Carter pays tribute to her grandfather who worked as a coalminer in Alabama and whom he never saw (“Violin Virtuoso Regina Carter”). The entire album is the mix of folk jazz, contemporary jazz, gospel, country music, spirituals, blues and R&B. Personally for me, the most striking and interesting pieces appeared to be I’m Goin’ Home, See See Rider, and Trampin’. they impressed me greatly.

The melody of I’m Goin’ Home reminded of a traditional spiritual. The piece started with the guitar party which was then picked up by accordion. The piece reminded of a spiritual because of its emotional coloring and the way the instruments, guitar, accordion, and violin, reflected longing and even homage. The piece was performed moderato, and such a choice of tempo created the feeling of spaciousness.

In the piece titled See See Rider Regina Carter used elements of country music. In fact, it was the melody that reminded of some rural song. The main thing that defined the piece as jazz was the rhythm. More specifically, the piece was characterized by syncopation and swung notes. However, the most notable was the second part of See See Rider because of the soloist’s masterful improvisation.

Trampin’ was the piece that impressed me most of all. It was so because of its funky and greasy character. It is possible to say that there were two lines in the piece. The first line was comprised of the parties of drums, guitar and recorded vocal party, and the second was the actual party of the soloist. The piece was also energetic because of the great number of syncopations and swung notes characteristic of blues.

Overall, the jazz concert was the best I had ever attended. First of all, music itself was so sophisticated and full of emotional honesty. Secondly, performance was amazing as well. Not only the soloist, Regina Carter
