New JC song on iTunes

October 30, 2003

I was pleasantly suprised to find Sunset, a pre-release track from James Carter's forthcoming Columbia release, Gardenias for Lady Day, Sunset">available on iTunes. This is a warm, rich-sounding track with an orchestral string section that hearkens back to an earlier era of standards. The sound is not suprising for an album that is intended to pay tribute to Billie Holiday. I am looking forward to its release on November 11.
