Young virtuoso jazz drummer Bryan Carter, leading his stellar quintet, celebrates the release of his new album Enchantment on May 31, kicking off a national tour with this performance. The phenom began playing drums at age three and by age 11 he’d studied with jazz masters like Louie Bellson, Harold Jones, and Ed Thigpen. He performed at an early age with Chicago’s South Shore Jazz Ensemble, directed by his father, noted educator Ronald Carter.
Currently attending The Juilliard School (and having prestigiously been named a Vic Firth Artist), Carter has performed at a wide range of venues, clubs, and festivals including Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Beverly Hills Hotel, Spaghettinis, the Staples Center, the Chicago Jazz Festival, and the Lima Peru and African Jazz Festivals and performed and recorded with such artists as Clark Terry, Jon Faddis, Ted Nash, Terell Stafford, McCoy Tyner, Kenny Barron, and more. Following the CD release tour, this summer, Carter will perform and tour nationally and internationally with, among others the Juilliard Jazz Ensemble and Kenny Barron Trio.
