Bio / Background
BIO:
At the age of eleven, guitarist/producer 'Earl Carter' bought a couple of how to books and proceeded to teach himself how to play guitar. At age fifteen, he picked up the saxophone and joined his high school concert band, marching band and jazz ensemble. He practiced on both instruments for several hours everyday in hope of someday becoming a professional musician. Although he became proficient on both instruments, he eventually decided to focus primarily on sharpening his guitar playing skills.
During the late '80s and early '90s, Earl was a member of the platinum hit-making dance/GoGo band, "EU." With EU, he recorded music on the soundtrack to Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing and the GoGo Live music video. In 1999, Earl laid several guitar tracks for many artists at P. Diddy's New York City recording facility, "Daddy's House." He has also co-produced dialogue recordings with his production partner J.R.

He's done hundreds of shows, many of which have been for contemporary jazz and straight ahead radio stations i.e. WJZW 105.9, 95.9 in Baltimore and WPFW in Wash. DC. His No Frettin project reached heavy rotation on college radio WHOV in Hampton VA and several copies were sold via live concerts and the internet. Earl uses world class players in his band and makes every effort to give his audience a spactacular show. He ocasionally performs at the legendary jazz club "Blues Alley" located in Washington DC and has just released this outstanding new CD project.

This is a very good piece of work by Earl Carter. When I am relaxing I set my iPod to 495 and just chill to these soft, melodic tracks. This CD is a work of art. Blessings, The G... http://cdbaby.com/all/theg
