Ron is definitely the coolest guy in the room. I checked out the Tetra speakers after watching this. Hope this helps Ron earn his set, as if he hasn't already!!
This interview would have benefitted from two cameras, with main focus on Ron Carter, and brief shots of the interviewers when they're asking questions. Having them flank him throughout the interview and in the shot throughout like this is awkward. They are ultimately somewhat superfluous - main focus is and should be Mr. Carter.
Ron Carter was one of the most sought after Jazz Bass Players for studio sessions than anyone I can think of. A real master. AND, some of the comments on this video are some of the worst I have ever read.
Ron speaks the truth , such a great player and thinker.
Also, the live sound that he mentions is achieved in his own audio listening gear at home towards the beginning of the interview includes Tetra speakers. Tetra is made in Ottawa, Canada, and largely ignored by publications like Stereophile. Pity, as it Tetra are outstanding speakers.
The freedom is not quite as the interviewer imagines it. He should listen more to Ron. The story of an internal debate between direction and magic constrained by the individuality of the circumstance and necessities thrown up by the band, the composition, the physicality of getting the sound out and carrying people with you or your ability to catalyse a change with a note you choose. Freedom is in the movement of the ensemble constrained by circumstance. Great to hear Ron Carter.
Todos mis respetos y admiración. Gracias por tanto y tan bueno, y gracias por compartir el vídeo.
great interview. but i wonder if these 2 folks actualy understand what he's saying.
Great job. Drew many great responses from the master.
Would have been nice if they’d have gotten some actual LIVING people to interview legendary bassist Ron Carter...
Ha. Thanks.
Stephen Mejias Ha. You are alive! ;)
I did enjoy the piece, but felt that the man could have been introduced a bit better, he is after all a living legend.
I’ve always wondered why more musicians aren’t audiophiles, so it’s great to hear from people like Carter.
I'm glad you enjoyed the piece. I think some of what you are expecting to see in the video -- a certain sense of liveliness, a more enthusiastic introduction, praise for Ron's work -- took place behind the scenes, before and after the actual recording. Collectively, over the course of our entire experience with Ron, which actually took place over many days and included several live sets with various groups at Birdland, we certainly expressed our appreciation for his time and work. Speaking only for myself now, I felt it was most important to be respectful -- to Ron and to Gideon Schwartz, who brought us together and hosted the interview. Something John Atkinson taught me about interviewing is that, to the extent possible, it's important for the interviewer to remove himself from the piece, while still pulling from the subject compelling, provocative thoughts. That's what I was trying to accomplish. I'm fairly happy with the result and I'm extremely grateful for the experience.
I think there are many musicians who deeply appreciate great sound -- far more than we realize. Whether they think of themselves as "audiophiles" is another matter. Recently, Ken Micallef and Jana Dagdagan have profiled several. You can find those interviews here: www.stereophile.com/category/interviews. Longer ago, in the late '90s through early 2000s, Rick Rosen contributed a column to Stereophile called "Rick Visits," which John Atkinson once perfectly described as a "fascinating peek into musicians' secret lives as audiophiles."
Arnaldo Vargas Because musicians' passion is music not sound. Audiophilia is a false refinement and a distraction.
There is such an obvious disconnect between Carter and the interviewers that this clip is almost difficult to watch. "How did your relationship with Gideon develop?" "We are still working on that." Ouch. And that whole thing with Michel Legrand's album fell so flat it was almost comical. What does come through though is Carter's intelligence and poignancy, which should be no surprise because that's how he's always played. "Ron Carter, retired school teacher working weekends." Funny guy!
a master! I also love the upright bass best...
hello stereophil its okay if you can tell me who make the beast recording for all style for jazz
"We all came out to Montreux, on the lake Geneva shoreline...."
Retired school teacher??
Regards from Serbia.
Binaural interview
While watching this video I found that I want to be a woman
This has never been easier than nowadays. Congratulations 😆
No offense, but this is why young people aren't interested in high(er) end audio. I love music, i love watching & reading new and old product reviews on items ill never own or even hear. I love any info i can ingest on the subject of sound. BUT nothing is better than auditioning my home system and/or my car system and getting someone elses hair on the back of their neck to stand up by giving them a sound experience they never even knew was possible! I watched this whole video, and these guys im sure are passionate about audio, but there was no energy conveyed to draw people in
