Jazzing it up with a bow

Every generation seems to demand the presence of a new artist to prove once again that jazz can be played on the violin. And Regina Carter is a worthy descendant of such convincing jazz fiddlers as Stuff Smith, Joe Venuti and Stephane Grappelli. She is joined by the captivating vocalist Carla Cook in “A Sentimental Journey” -- a tour through the standards of the Great American Songbook.

Regina Carter, Samueli Theatre, Orange County Performing Arts Center, 600 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa. 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Friday. $52 to $56. (714) 556-2787.

* Also 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Saturday.
