Al in NYC Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 I must say that I'm somewhat surprised to see no comment here on the PBS documentary on Ron Carter that aired last Friday (or am I missing something?). It's not often that we get 2 hours on a jazz topic in the national media, let alone an extended piece on an important musician who spent most of his professional career as a (indispensable) sideman. As usual with such things, it featured less uninterrupted music than I would like. But it did get quite intimate with Ron himself, along with interviews with many of his fellow musicians and fans, and examined both his illustrious history and his ongoing life as a working musician. One part I found very affecting was to see him return after many years to the house his father built just outside of Detroit, where he grew up.
