Take Your Pick (2010)

Carlton is 18 mei 2011 in de Metropool te Hengelo: "Hij won februari 2011 voor de vierde keer een Grammy, samen met Tak Matsumoto in de categorie "Best Pop Instrumental Album"." "The veteran session and smooth jazz man teams up with Japan's Tak Matsumoto here. The latter is with over 80 million albums sold in Japan alone, no less an icon. This is a truly collaborative effort, with the two guitarists splitting the writing and arranging duties right down the middle; Matsumoto even arranges two of his tunes for a Japanese horn section, while Carlton brings in some American ringers to spice up three of his tunes. But regardless of where the music was recorded, the core rhythm section of drummer Billy Kilson (Dave Holland, Chris Botti), bassist Michael Rhodes ((J.J. Cale, Aaron Neville, and keyboardist Jeff Babko (Sheryl Crowe, James Taylor) keeps things honest on a set that leans towards a lighter complexion, though there's plenty of grit to give the music some edge and energy." (John Kelman, AllAboutJazz)
