Saxophone virtuoso James Carter arrives at G Livelab with his Organ Trio and the program "Coltrane: A Centennial Supreme." The concert features a tribute to John Coltrane, born 100 years ago.

"Music and life do not separate" says saxophone virtuoso James Carter, "my elders have taught me that music is a culture and a way of life."

Detroit native Carter shared his childhood home with five musically inclined siblings in "a house filled with all manner of sounds, from The Beatles to Funk and Hendrix." At the tender age of seventeen the young prodigy shared a stage with the great Wynton Marsalis and at 23, released his landmark debut album JC On the Set, hailed by many as the arrival of a new Jazz master. Over the decades that followed, Carter has cemented his reputation as one of this generation's most charismatic and versatile soloists, boasting collaborations with Lester Bowie, Julius Hemphill, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Kathleen Battle, Frank Lowe & Saxemble, the World Saxophone Quartet and Wynton Marsalis among other Jazz greats.
