Heaven on Earth is a live album by saxophonist James Carter, organist John Medeski, bassist Christian McBride, guitarist Adam Rogers and drummer Joey Baron recorded at the Blue Note Jazz Club, and released on the Half Note Records label in 2009.

[1] The AllMusic reviewer, Matt Collar, commented: "More than just a live date, Heaven on Earth is a knotty, adventurous document that allows for as much group interplay as it does for spotlighting Carter's long-recognized virtuosity".

Sometimes hyphenated as soul-jazz, jazz-blues or funk-jazz, it embraced the groove and spirit of the black popular music of the day with in-your-face exuberance.

Carter, whose lip-smacking, guttural vibrato recalls the honking saxists of early R'n'B, plays with a swashbuckling swagger that would have made PT Barnum proud".

[5] PopMatters critic Will Layman observed, "By mixing expertise with a healthy appetite for the avant-garde, Carter and his crew avoid The Problem of Too Much Precision.
