In this intimate concert offering, described as a “simpatico merging of two great musical minds and four talented hands” by Twin Cities Pioneer Press, violinist Regina Carter and pianist Xavier Davis have an electric connection on stage. Hailed as the foremost jazz violinist of her generation, Carter’s quest for beauty, combined with her passion for excellence, did not escape the attention of the MacArthur Foundation, which awarded her a prestigious Genius Grant fellowship. Carter has a very special musical relationship with Davis and she has performed on-and-off with Davis since 2004.
