Chasin' the Gypsy
Chasin' the Gypsy is the sixth album by saxophonist James Carter which was released on the Atlantic label in 2000.[1] Reception
The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell says, " Chasin' the Gypsy, as you might guess, is an homage to Django Reinhardt, whose music Carter used to dig on Detroit radio when he was a teenager, but Carter doesn't take the predictable reverent path in paying his respects ... this is a delightful departure for Carter, though probably destined to be a one-off excursion".[2] In JazzTimes Bill Milkowski wrote, "Just when you had him pegged as a rip-snorting tenor and bari monster with a wicked penchant for ferocious overblowing, he comes across as a shameless romantic on Chasin' the Gypsy, his lovely ode to Django. Still, Carter's characteristic bravado, tenor squeals, trills and remarkable displays of multiphonics are still intact here".[5] On All About Jazz Mark Corroto noted, "Carter’s Reinhardt tribute, while appealing to traditional jazz fans, also has something to say to the Downtown crowd".[6] Critic Robert Christgau rated the album an "A", saying, "this is the spirit marriage a tribute should be. It swings like a horse thief, parlays Fransay, and adores the melody".[3] Track listing
