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 called Carter "a remarkable virtuoso who can seemingly do anything he wants on his horns.
[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"".
[6] 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".
