Multi-instrumentalist Daniel Carter isn't as well-known as his avant-jazz contemporaries but is equally prolific. Since 1970, he has sought out musicians who encourage free expression. He has appeared on hundreds of recordings with an astonishing variety of players. He is adept on tenor, alto, and soprano saxophones, clarinet, flute, and trumpet. His airy tone and understated timbre have drawn comparisons to Lee Konitz. His ongoing collaborative relationship with bassist William Parker began with 1980's Through Acceptance of the Mystery Peace. They co-founded Other Dimensions in Music, who issued five albums between 1989 and 2011. Carter co-founded experimental quartet Test, whose Ahead! appeared in 1998. In 2019, the trio recorded a day-long session with trumpeter Roy Campbell, Jr. and drummer Gerald Cleaver, resulting in two releases: Welcome Adventure, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, released in in 2020 and 2022.
