James Carter, a native of Detroit, is a virtuoso reed man with a godly mastery of the saxophone. He is in line to join the ranks of the greatest saxophonists in the history of African classical music (jazz). He exudes a musical confidence and world-class showmanship that far exceeds his chrono / logical age. I had the pleasure of showing James his portraits. He autographed them both in ink with large signatures. One has a horn symbol he drew, with the signature: James “JC” Carter. The second portrait was autographed: “With Eternal Gratitude”. Upon departing, he gave me a brotherly hug. I was touched by his “down to earth” nature and the gratitude he expressed is undoubtedly mutual. His music transports the soul to the heavens. These 18×24 originals of “JC” are not for sale. The prints with signatures will be posted and available soon. This work is based on a photograph by Pat Smith.

Detroit has a long and rich history as a fertile ground, / a cultural vortex, for creating revolutinary leadership in all forms. / Musically speaking, James Carter is a giant in a long history of musical stalwarts and innovators from Motown. What I appreciate about JC is his mastery, commitment, professionalism. He maintains an accessibility and “down-to-earthness” in spite of his global success. It is uplifting to watch him walk into Baker’s Keyboard Lounge (Detroit) carrying his horn. I know, through his performance, the audience will be transported into a heavenly dimension. James Carter autographed this 18×24 original. This original is not for sale. This piece was conceptualized by utilizing, as a reference, a photo by Han Speekenbrink and images of the solar system. James often speaks of “planetary alignment” to underscore the synchronistic occurence of the presence of the audience appearing before him during the performance as a special moment in time. 18×24 Graphite Pencil on Off-white Strathmore Archival Paper
