Saxophonist, David Carr, Jr., has pursued his passion as an artist since the
age of 12. His inspiration came inherently from his father, also a saxophonist. Through his
influence, along with his undying patience and hard work, David's desire to pursue his goals
with perseverance and dedication was born. All these attributes have played an integral part
in his success today.
Self-taught and a prolific player by ear, David writes and produces his soulful melodies in his own studio. His refreshing new blend of contemporary jazz, combined with an R&B/Funk flair, has earned him a reputation and sound which has separated him from many other saxophonists of today. Coupled with his provocative stage presence and innovative sounds, his smooth, yet rhythmic sound, has been compared with such greats as Grover Washington, Jr. and David Sanborn.
David performs as a solo artist, as well as, with his band. David's performances are largely comprised from corporate & charity events, weddings and/or private parties, JAZZ concerts and music festivals-both in and outside of the US. Combining his many years of experience, along with his raw talent, profoundly reinforces that David Carr, Jr. is a true commodity.
Adding to the already long list of performances in David's musical career, David and his band debuted in New Orleans as the headlining band for the 2002 NFL "VIP & CELEBRITY" Super Bowl Party held at The Aquarium.
Some say, "It's the spirit behind the music that endears David to his fans. Sophistication, refinement, charisma, passion and charm-the artist and his music-an inseparable and incomparable thin line." This might explain why all "3" of David's saxophones (alto, tenor, & soprano) were given to him on stage as "surprise" birthday gifts from his loyal and supportive fans.
Currently, David's second commercial release, "In Too Deep", a double-CD set, was debuted on March 19, 2003, at Market Hall in Dallas. In 1997, he debuted his pre-release "limited edition" CD from the new double-CD, "In Too Deep". His holiday CD, "Holiday of Jazz", debuted in November, 2001. "Sounds of Innosense" was his first commercial release (1995).
