"Many Blessings" - James Carter

My Damn Channel - "Many Blessings" - James Carter

Detroit native James Carter flew in from NY just to participate in this year's All-Star Revue. He tore it up with this stellar rendition of Rahsaan Roland Kirk's classic, "Many Blessings". Since 1994, he has amassed a body of recorded work that has secured his place as one of the most renowned saxophonists of our time. He's also a very generous cat who has never forgotten his Motor City roots.
