Description Acclaimed vocalist Betty Carter leads a showcase of hand-picked musical talent in Jazz Ahead. A one-night only performance with over 15 of the best musicans (possibly including "the next Miles Davis..." according to Stephen J. Dubner of The New York Times Magazine). Hear Carter's swooping, elastic voice, her nimble scat-singing, and lush interpreations of standards. Jazz Ahead, under Carter's nurture and guidance, has become the foremost incubator of tomorrow's new musical talent, turning such former Carter protégés as Jacky Terrason and Cyrus Chestnut into jazz stars.
