Hardbopjazz Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Well done, Mr. Carter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milestones Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 At first that sounds astonishing. But then...not really. Mr. Carter has been everywhere, and he always adds something to a session. If he only did the stint with Miles and a few trios (like those with Hank Jones and Tommy Flanagan), he would be an immortal. But there is, of course, so much more.

Justin V Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I have nothing but respect and admiration for Ron Carter. This just goes to prove that no matter how much of Ron Carter's work I have in my collection, there will always be more out there. Congratulations to him.

I recall seeing him act as a 'shepherd' for the baritone master Cecil Payne at the Bern Jazz Festival in the late '90s. Payne had very limited vision, but Carter danced attendance on him, showing great care and compassion. 12 minutes ago, Ted O'Reilly said: ...and, a lovely man.
