Carter's Boogaloo

Carter’s Boogaloo is the second piece to emerge from The Exchange. When Carter Arrington and I began shaping the album, I encouraged him to invite some of the UK guitarists whose playing he particularly valued. For this track, he called Parliamentary Jazz Award winner Nigel Price. One of its pleasures is hearing Carter and Nigel—two master guitarists with distinctly different musical voices—approach the same tune. Carter, Nigel and Hammond organist Liam Dunachie each take a solo, with Joel Barford on drums and myself on bass attending to the necessary business underneath. Thomas Kleyn arranged the three-horn section, playing tenor saxophone alongside Paul Jordanous on trumpet and Frank Walden on baritone saxophone. The horns give the tune its punctuation without getting in the way of the improvising—which is easier said than arranged. And the title? It is Carter’s tune, and it is a boogaloo. Occasionally the paperwork completes itself.
