Last year violinist/bandleader Regina Carter made an indelible mark on the jazz world. In addition to displaying her brilliance and spunk as a performing artist by indefatigably touring the world, the perennial jazz violin poll winner was also roundly applauded for her debut Verve outing, Rhythms of the Heart. At the time of its release, the CD was praised by Time magazine’s Christopher John Farley, who wrote: "…Carter creates music that is wonderfully listenable, probingly intelligent and, at times, breathtakingly daring." A few months later the album was chosen as one of Time’s top ten recordings of 1999.

With her follow-up, Motor City Moments, a celebration of the music of her hometown of Detroit, Carter once again demonstrates that she is one of today's most exciting and original jazz musicians.

Chosen as one of Time magazine's top 10 albums of 1999, Motor City Moments not only pays tribute to Detroit via the music a rich mix of soul-to-swing gems written by an array of Motor City musicians including popsters Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder and jazz greats Thad Jones and Milt Jackson but the CD also stars such Detroit natives as Belgrave, pianist Barry Harris and saxophonist James Carter, the violinist's second cousin.
