Title: Rather Earthbound
Review: Pianist Kenny Barron is, as always, a delight, but what keeps this recording from being truly delightful is the rather earthbound violin playing of Regina Carter. Her previous release, Motor City Moments, was quite a bore, but I thought that might have been because of the fusion genre. Having heard her playing on this CD, however, I am less impressed than ever. There just seems to be no playfulness in her playing. Stephane Grapelli in his later years sounded much younger at heart than does the young Ms. Carter. Her tone also sounds heavy and thick.The sound quality is excellent. Others have praised this release; perhaps you will like it better than I do.
