Big Al Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Unabashed and unashamed fan of all things Ron Carter. Elegant would be the word I'd use to describe his playing. Plus, I like it he's pretty active on Instagram and seems to actually interact with his fans (as opposed to having some intern run it for him).

soulpope Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 He is obviously part of jazz history, but as individual player not a favourite of mine .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, would you have preferred that another bass player would have taken the bass chair after Chambers, in Miles´ Second Quintet ? Who would it have been ?

Yes. that´s also my opinion. Well from his contemporaries I also like Buster Williams very much. He also has that strong sound, but another kind of solo playing. So, in the times I began to see live jazz those two bassists were mostly in demand. And Carter with VSOP is some of the best things I ever heard......., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
