JC on the Set is the debut album by saxophonist James Carter recorded in 1993 and released on the Japanese DIW label. [1]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "Twenty-five at the time of this CD, James Carter had already absorbed much of the tradition... He also shows that he has the courage to play completely outside whenever it seems logical to him... James Carter puts on quite a tour-de-force throughout this very impressive set". [2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz said that the album “delivered in trumps.” [3]
