Earlier this year, the Indianapolis Jazz Foundation announced its 2026 inductees for the Indianapolis Jazz Hall of Fame, including the late drummer Jozell Carter — a pioneering force in soul jazz music known for his bold, powerful sound.
For the next two weeks on Echoes of Indiana Avenue, join guest host Rodney Stepp as we explore Carter’s music and legacy. This week’s program spotlights his recordings with vibraphonist Johnny Lytle. Carter made a series of landmark recordings with Lytle in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
