David Carr Jr.

Saxophonist, David Carr Jr. has pursued his passion as an artist since he was 12 years old. As a self-taught and prolific player by ear, DAVID writes and produces his soulful melodies in his own studio. His refreshing new blend of contemporary jazz, combined with a R&B/Funk flair, has earned him a reputation and sound which separates 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. has become a rare commodity.

Adding to the already long list of performances in David's musical career, both here in the U.S. and abroad, 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 charmthe artist and his musican inseparable and incomparable thin line.” This might explain why all “3” of David’s saxophones (alto, tenor, & soprano) were presented to him on stage as “surprise” birthday gifts from his loyal and devoted fans.

DAVID has recently signed a recording agreement with a brand new label in L.A, “Uncle Buster’s House of Grooves”. His first release on this label, with his fourth CD, “DCJ4”, was just released in July, 2007, accompanied by a video. He released his third CD, “I Thought You Knew”, in January, 2006. With a diversified, free form style on this CD, David created an edge to his music that can only be expressed by DAVID himself. David’s second commercial release, “In Too Deep”, a double-CD set, 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 set, “In Too Deep”. “Sounds of Innosense” was his first commercial release in 1995.
