In Carterian Fashion is the 6th album led by saxophonist James Carter recorded in 1998 and released on the Atlantic label.[1]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow had awarded the album 4 stars stating, "a remarkable virtuoso who can seemingly do anything he wants on his horns. It is just a matter of passing time and accomplishments accumulating before Carter is thought of as one of the all-time greats... the dominant voice throughout is James Carter's, who in general is a little more restrained, which makes his fiery explosions and colorful tonal distortions really stand out. Recommended".[2] All About Jazz noted, "The album concept for James Carter's fifth release as leader is the familiar organ combo sound with earthy tenor saxophone. The concept works for the 29-year-old saxophonist, who still manages to retain the other elements with which his career has been associated: overt physical avant-garde taunts, swingin' Kansas City rambles, and polite mainstream lyricism"".[3] Critic Robert Christgau rated the album an "A−", saying, "Just by blowing so lustily and swinging so edgily, Carter puts out more personality and pleasure than all but a few musical word-slingers".[4]
