There’s no more elegant or jazzy way to swing in the New Year than a night at Jazz Standard with Regina Carter! A recipient of the MacArthur Foundation “genius” award and a Doris Duke Artist Award, the violinist has been widely hailed both for the mastery of her instrument and her drive to expand its possibilities. Her eclectic discography includes Freefall, a stellar collaboration with pianist Kenny Barron; Paganini: After A Dream, a program of light classics and Latin American compositions performed on the maestro’s own priceless violin; and her shimmering tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, Ella: Accentuate The Positive. In 2018, Ms. Carter was named artistic director of the New Jersey Performing Arts All–Female Jazz Residency; and was nominated for a GRAMMY Award for Best Improvised Solo for “Some Of That Sunshine,” the title track from vocalist Karrin Allyson’s album. “Ms. Carter is widely considered the finest jazz violinist of her generation, a hard–charging soloist whose precisely focused tone and graceful way with a ballad hint at her long years of classical training.” (The New York Times) Regina Carter – violin Carla Cook – vocals Nat Adderly Jr. – piano Chris Lightcap – bass Alvester Garnett – drums   7:30 p.m. show includes three–course dinner and music charge ($150 per person) 10:30 p.m. show includes three–course dinner, champagne toast, and music charge ($225 per person)   JAZZ STANDARD NEW YEAR’S EVE 2019/2020 MENU **Menu subject to change** STARTERS APPLE & CHICORY SALAD Honey Crisp Apples, Castelfranco, Sweet Tea Pecans, Goat Cheese, Citrus-Honey Vinaigrette Vegetarian CURRY SQUASH SOUP Kuri Squash, Coconut, Carrots Vegan HAY-SMOKED OYSTERS Brown Butter, Lemon, Bacon CHIPTOTLE CHICKEN WINGS Blue Cheese MAIN COURSES  FRIED CHICKEN Hot Honey, Mashed Potatoes, Black Pepper Gravy MEMPHIS BABY BACK RIBS Mac & Cheese “CORNBREAD CRUMBLED IN GRAVY” Shrimp, Blue Crab, Jalapeño-Cheddar Spoonbread GRILLED RADICCHIO Lentils, Blood Orange, Roasted Beets Vegan DESSERTS BISCUIT BREAD PUDDING Warm Butterscotch Sauce “SHOO-RYE” PIE Rye Whiskey Whipped Cream POACHED PEAR TBD Vegetarian
