Arguably the most recorded bassist in the history of music, but certainly in American Classic Music (Jazz). The Guinness Book of Records needs to examine this musician's output. Ron Carter is a generational artist. The last of two surviving members (Herbie Hancock) of the Miles Davis Quintet, Mr Carter was a force in this groundbreaking group.
With Tony Williams/drums, Wayne Shorter/saxophone, Hancock/piano, and Miles Davis/trumpet, Carter was more like a player facilitator, interpreter. His stellar work is heard demonstratively during the Davis led Columbia Label recordings of the sixties. Mr. Carter also lends his hands to early Blue Note Records by Hancock, and countless stablemates employed by the label, like pianist Andrew Hill.
A sideman with Gene Ammons, Chet Baker, Gato Barbieri, George Benson, Kenny Burrell, Jaki Byard, Donald Byrd, Billy Cobham, Alice Coltrane, Hank Crawford, Lou Donaldson, Don Ellis, Eric Dolphy, Gil Evans, Tommy Flanagan, Red Garland, Stan Getz, Johnny Griffin, Johnny Hammond (Smith), Joe Henderson, Eddie Harris, Freddie Hubbard, Bobby Hutcherson, Milt Jackson, Antonio Carlos Jobim, J.J. Johnson, Hank Jones, Antonio Carlon Jobim, Lee Morgan, Johnny Hodges, Wes Montgomery, Milton Nascimento, and Coleman Hawkins. (This in no way intended to be an exhaustive list of his many outings).
He was a prominent voice on the CTI label of the seventies, and a frequent contributor to almost everybody, and anybody with aspiration to create the best music. Under his own name, (estimated 60 albums), Mr. Carter's prolific output never loses a step, and at 87 years old (born May 4th 1937).
