Larry Carlton: Jazz fans will know the stellar guitarist from his 1970s stint as a member of the Crusaders, later in the smooth jazz quartet Fourplay and from his many solo recordings. But the four-time Grammy winner was featured on so many classic recordings including Steely Dan’s “Katy Lied” and “Aja,” Joni Mitchell’s “Court and Spark” and “Hejira,” Barbra Streisand’s “Stoney End,” Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5 and Other Odd Jobs,” Al Jarreau’s “Glow” and Michael Jackson’s “Off the Wall.” While Carlton has been prolific in the studio for decades, he hasn’t performed in the Twin Cities since 2010.
