Reed virtuoso James Carter turns in one of his most focused, accomplished albums with 2008's PRESENT TENSE. Although Carter is well known for his eclecticism and willingness to range left of center (he is as comfortable blowing free as in more straitlaced jazz contexts), PRESENT TENSE finds him working in an idiom that recalls the golden era of 1960s post-bop. Carter lets his dexterity soar on bass clarinet, flute, and soprano, tenor, and baritone sax, while yielding plenty of space to a krack line-up that includes drummer Victor Lewis, pianist D.D. Jackson, and trumpeter Dwight Adams, among others. This mixture of swing, bop, Latin, and ballads, along with its moments of experimentation, makes PRESENT TENSE an accessible, artfully crafted effort.

Personnel: Rodney Jones (guitar); Dwight Adams (trumpet, flugelhorn); D.D. Jackson (piano); James Genus (bass guitar); Victor Lewis (drums); Eli Fountain (congas, percussion).
