Justin V Posted May 5, 2020 Report Posted May 5, 2020 The great Ron Carter is 83 today. Here's wishing him a happy birthday. I'm listening to a gig from the Blue Note's Patreon page that he did with Houston Person. Quote
Gheorghe Posted May 5, 2020 Report Posted May 5, 2020 I´ll Play his 1979 Album "Parade" which I love very much. It´s an Allstar quartet with and augmented mini big band...... I saw Ron Carter twice: Once with his quartet in 1979, and the second time with VSOP II in 1983. Quote
Milestones Posted May 5, 2020 Report Posted May 5, 2020 Ron Carter secured a spot among GREAT musicians (not just bassists) 50 years ago. He has continued to work and build the legacy. Happy birthday to one of the great living masters! Quote
Gheorghe Posted May 7, 2020 Report Posted May 7, 2020 One interesting Thing that I´d like to write About Ron Carter is that he often Plays the Contra-C, and first I thought he uses a 5 string bass (like Chubby Jackson did), but later I saw he had some kit on the neck of the bass which sure is a Contra-C Extension. You can see it on photos of Ron playing the bass. He didn´t use it when he was with Miles but used it in the 70´s when I saw and heard him live. Very very interesting and the Deep C sounds good .
