Growing up in Cincinnati, Carter knew from an early age that the arts would be her lifelong pursuit. A proud graduate of the School for the Creative and Performing Arts, this solid foundation is the springboard for Calvert’s highly praised and accomplished career.

On her new CD, Carter Calvert and The Roger Cohen Trio, she floats effortlessly between jazz idioms, American Songbook classics, Broadway selections and Pop hits, making each song her own with a rich, soulful sound.
Carter Calvert effervesces: her voice echoes chimes in the night...Her smoldering
grip on Fever is positively dangerous.

Backing Ms. Calvert is The Roger Cohen Trio, featuring pianist Jim West, bassist Brian Glassman and drummer Roger Cohen of whom Modern Drummer Magazine stated, “Roger’s playing reveals an admirable combination of power, musical creativity and restraint.” The trio supports Calvert with maturity and originality and through masterful arrangements brings this exquisite vocalist’s full bodied range and unique articulation of jazz styles to light. Their superb musicianship is captivating and memorable. Rarely does music making happen on this level. Carter Calvert and The Roger Cohen Trio become a singular collaboration of exciting rhythms and sounds in support of the album’s diverse songs.
…a voice of smoke and fire.

...the electric sizzle and animal heat of her performance threatens to set off the building’s sprinkler system. That gal can sure sing—not to mention her talent as a 4-alarm, come-hither vixen, sensuously slithering through this X-rated show-stopper with measured insouciance.
