*In the same way that Regina Carter lives her art, I aspire to live my life . . . not as a label.* Hearing her play, I feel immense gratitude as a Black American woman with a diverse ancestry & set of traditions. My epic love of jazz is *a gift from my mother,* who left this Earth when I was age 15. She was my world: her style, savvy, & gentle way with words. …my earliest memories were accompanying her on the piano, as she played Bach minuets on the flute… Meanwhile, swingin’ recordings of Claude Bolling & Oscar Peterson were ever part of our mother-daughter soundtrack. At age 17, security is what I sought most in her absence…. Ann Arbor, Michigan, became an unsuspected & unforgettable home during my college years. *My west-coast consciousness got a dose of the Midwest ethics & loyalty* that I’ll never depart. ****** (as a physics student, I was one of a few females…& often, the only female of color…) After class, I’d hunt a practice room at the Univ of Michigan school of music, until a snobby bunch wished to kick me out as a non-music major 🙄😂…good lord. My path was different…but when I last checked, *music is mankind’s universal inheritance.* We did not create the mechanics of sound, but we are given the gift to express it 🙌🏽. I carried my mother’s jazz & classical sheet music with me…her handwriting brought me comfort & I still follow those written notations. For me, Regina brings her spirit to life… And she also inspires young students, *among a legacy of jazz greats from Cass Tech High School -* (an alumni history that is just legendary for a single institution…) she’s joined by Ron Carter, Kenny Burrell, & the late Donald Byrd, Geri Allen, Dorothy Ashby, Paul Chambers, Gerald Wilson…..the list goes on. *Facts - there ain’t nothin like Motown…the people, and their commitment to their art.* My many trips to Detroit, down I-94, remain precious to me 🙌🏽. Regina: you represent a world that’s unapologetically unique…yet quietly ‘me’. - *My love & respect for your mastery, message, & resolve to always stay true to your art.*
Meira A Your story is also inspiring and I believe I detect that same humility and grace in your communications as I do in Regina Carter as she speaks and plays. Your mother gifted you a love of jazz and I hope that through the jazz family, you have received the gift of love. 💖
I only caught the second half of this live on Monday the 25th. Incredible show. But now seeing what I missed wow 🔥❤️ especially Favorite Things 😱 Emmet's nods to McCoy Tyner in the solo 🔥🔥🔥. And Ms. Carter is a wonder 👏👏👏
If I were marooned on a desert island with just one recording and a playback device, this may be the one I would select. I can't believe the number of musical quotes played in this concert. If someone with wide-ranging musical knowledge could put a list together, this fan would appreciate seeing it.

I've never been more excited to see a concert in my life I'm going to go see Regina tonight at the Savannah music festival and I think it will be probably the best concert I've ever been to❤
Wow, this was absolutely mind blowing. My Favorite Things shook me to my core especially Emmet's solo. Regina, Kyle, and Russel were off the charts in every song. Your abilities are mind boggling and your impact on the jazz world is huge. I'm thinking about sending a video in because you guys are one of the main reasons I'm a jazz fanatic now. Thank you!
I love the proud and excited looks Russell gives Regina from time to time - and at the glorious runs at around 1:28:55 where both Russell and Kyle look like they’ve been zapped with absolute goosebumps - the reaction we all had I think!
Amazing……..all around greatness! Technical q. For someone with better ears than me…….when Regina plays (I believe the 3rd chourus of “Can’t Buy Me Love” ) a ‘way outside’ sort of a scale, does anyone know what (in a nutshell) she’s doing eg. what scale? Thank you for indulging in my curiosity!
If 16:44 is the moment: I think it's a 4 bar phrase. Bar 1 is a Bb arpegio going up into a B major arpegio coming down. Bar 2 is a Cmaj 7 going up then a Db major coming down. I think she then plays around a Db maj 7 in bar 3 (Db ionian) and then a B maj 7 (B ionian) in bar 4. Its the chromatic arpegios that make it. The actuall lines themselves arn't crazy but in context they are just amazing!! (apologies if not 100% accurate)
@@cathalmurphy8623 thanks so much for this! I haven’t gone back to the video to see the elapsed time….. sounds like it though ….. what you describe….. greatly appreciated!!!
REGINA IS A PURE GODDESS, WHAT A FEEL-SPIRIT-FIRE-ENERGY!!! THE BAND SOUNDS REAL BAD ASS-KILLING

Wow, that was amazing and so beautiful Regina
Watching this for the second time - and it's even better than the first time! Thank you so much
Regina Carter is a wonderful lady and a great musican. I love her music.
So steez. Regina was my prime mover to study jazz violin at college!
I've never been more excited to see a concert in my life I'm going to go see Regina tonight at the Savannah music festival and I think it will be probably the best concert I've ever been to❤
Emmet & Russell are up there with Oscar & Niels! And Russell has a smile that makes every day sunny!!
These boys go hard from the get go! The original EC3 ❤🔥And that intro to My Favourite Things (and the rest of the tune) is unforgettable!
Your best show ever! Regina is a positive spirit rarely scene anymore. She’s wonderful! Do more shows w her.
Regina Carter !!!!
Such grace AND fire. Yes the best so far. Kyle Poole is close to tears a couple times, Ms. Carter is so cosmic.

On par with the Peterson Trios - this is next level jazz played by young enthusiastic musicians. An absolute joy!
Thank goodness

The great Ms Carter swinging with the boys. Doesn't get any better!
I love that you can tell it's Regina Carter playing without looking. So unique.
Beautiful!
The ending to "I'll be seeing you" was sublime.
יפה ! תודה רבה! 🤓
Incredible show. Week to week and cheek to cheek.
I have literal tears this music is so beautiful
Surrey with the Fringe On Top- Sublime!
Wow drum audio so much better amazing!!!!
I wish I could be on site to enjoy the fantastic Jazz music!
Wow Regina Carter, thank you!
I’m sorry, but this band is KILLING. Kyle is coming at you with insane ideas, Russel so hip and emmet fucking happy, Errol boisterous- THANK YOU!!!
That bass sounds good Russell!
Swingin'. Thanks again Emmet and Crew.
A room full of musical geniuses. Expect nothing less from EC & company.
Thank you, thank you! On "Come Sunday" watch Regina almost sing the lyric in the beginning of some of the phrases
Wow, killin!
On fire, just love it 1:21:27
Thank you so much 🙏
Love y'alls rendition of Can't Buy Me Love. Had never thought of it as a blues number before. And Regina Carter is so tiny! Great show!
This is absolutely wonderful.
💓💓💓...W0W... 💓💓💓

Wow!! Just WOW!! Thank you!!
Awesome X 10
Yeah, very nice like everytime!
Love what you do!
Intro to My Favorite Things quotes "Fratres" by Arvo Pärt, if you were wondering.
great piano
This is incredible
My goodness ❣️
Great, thanks!!!
Excellent 👌
Wonderful! You really keep the level up in this form of art!
Awesome
To be correct Can't Buy Me Love is usually attributed to Lennon-McCartney. I u R sure Paul wrote the lyrics as well, write it so.
41:47 The Peacocks!
Shit!, that's amazing!
Was that some of "I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together" at the end of "Struttin' With Some BBQ"?
☺️👍👍👍👍........!!!!
It's like a jazz Paganini

Yup, that’s exactly it……..wow…..good ears on your part! I’ll try incorporating those arpeggios in my solos! Once more, merci beaucoup!
👏👍🏼
凄く楽しいです。
Eleanor fucking Rigby ❤
oh if she is i am also
Estáis invitados a callos y tortilla de patatas, nonos arrepentiréis, como yo de escucharos
Brilliant. One thing..drums shouldn’t get too heavy on this number. Kyle great tho
The only disappointment was it only lasted 2 hours instead of 4.
