👍🙂 My Mom, Janet Remsing, played the drums in a concert with Ron Carter & George Cables in Tucson, AZ. in the mid to late 80s..!🙂 *Love your show and your playing Dom thank you!!
Ron Carter is one advanced and complex dude....this man is possibly the greatest upright jazz bassist and yet no bass influences...mostly horns. Fascinating!
Good point sir not once did he mention another bass player it seems as if his main inspiration was horn players wow could have said it better sir simply fascinating!!!
Ron Carter was on faculty at the City College of New York. By the time I got there, John Patitucci was the new bass chair. But that didn't stop Ron from paying us a visit from time to time. He'd walk into the auditorium with his baseball cap turned over his eyes and send shivers down the backs of every bass player in the room. I mean, he seemed like a nice guy. But you could feel it in your bones when he walked into a room.
RC has played in some of the most iconic albums of all time: Miles Davis' 'E.S.P', 'Miles Smiles', 'Sorcerer', 'Nefertiti', Herbie Hancock's 'Maiden Voyage', João Gilberto's 'Amoroso', Tom Jobim's 'Wave', 'Tide' and 'Stone Flower' and many others. He's the go to guy of Jazz's who's who. And his huge discography is the proof.
A wonderful interview: a musician (as opposed to a journalist) asking a great jazz musician about his invaluable experiences and creative processes from a bygone age prior to the internet. Rick Beato has done the same. This is so overdue in this digital age and much needed; not only as a legacy but also for the future of jazz and all good music. Many thanks.🙏⛄️❄️🇬🇧😷🙏2022.
By the way Dom...60 minutes is in desperate need of quality journalists and interviewers....I think they need YOU brother. Your interviewing style is so engaging and interesting. I know that Ron Carter is known to be difficult to interview ( what I have read) ...you have him openening up and talking about such amazing things that we never knew or thought of before. You're the best!
A wise, prudent, pragmatic, reliable, well-adjusted, mentally present Man. No wonder he was one of the most in-demand bassists EVER! Comforting and reinforcing, not a judgement Troll.
Back in the early to mid 1970's I was studying at Berklee in Boston with Alan Dawson. Several times a week a young guy would come to my dorm room to discuss drums and especially the things Alan Dawson was teaching. He turned out to be a truly great drummer. That guy's name is Payton Crossley. He's been Ron Carter's drummer for quite some time now. :-) As always Dom... a really great interview!
Thank you for this, Dom. As a drummer, Ron Carter is one of my bass heroes. His sound and style is unique. Ron is among the best, along with Paul Chambers, Reggie Workman, Sam Jones and Jimmy Garrison. From that period, of course.
THANKS!! Dom and Ron! Ron Carter is the Bass Beast! His powerful personality really affected all the classic music he has contributed to and subtley influenced. I am a life long bassist so really appreciate the wisdom!
That bit at 26:05 is fascinating. Ive seen drums and cymbals categorized as “pitchless” instruments, but I think that hinders perception development. Ive heard Max Roach say he plays melodies on his drums. I think it’s this level of listening-“the cymbal has an overtone like F# and it seems to be clashing with my D-string” that really opens the door to the other side.
Thank you Dom & team so much for this interview!!! As inspirational as Mr. Carter is for the breadth of contributions to the music world, I have always regarded him as an even greater inspiration for his humanity. His sense of integrity, open mindedness, and passion for self improvement are to be emulated; not just by musicians.
the subtitles can be hilarious at times. i actually saw this "transitional" group at the time and was surprised to see that actress Helen Mirren was playing piano! [9:27] actually it was Harold Mabern on piano for a short minute.
It trips me out how much alike Ron Carter is to me! I too consider inspiring performances, RUclips videos, etc.. all as education as well and always try to take in as much as I possibly can from everyone around me. Been that way my whole life, lol. I have so much respect for this man! God I wish I could get at least one lesson from him while he’s still going strong.
Great interview🎸🙌🏽 legendary style. Check my Ron Carter tribute vid. Patented a new fretboard invention to allow FretCorner bends or vibrato on all strings. Ron pioneered this technique on high G in Jim hall concierto Intro/ Outro and live jams I found.
Carter’s insights and memories are priceless. I think the interviewer seems a bit dismissive when Carter talks about racism early in the interview however.
Ron himself guided the conversation forward: ‘But that’s another story for another time’. The interviewer wasn’t the one to dismiss the topic or push the interview along, to this viewer he sat and listened to Ron. Having said that, the conversation would be a good one to have but it would take up a whole other session/s on its own
Mr. Elegant, Carter

dino de luca Thanks so much!!!
You're not kidding ... serious, unbiased journalists are very much needed!
Ron was 82 in this video ? He sounds so fresh compare to must of people of the same age. Music is magic

Talks like everybody's favorite uncle, if you're a musician. One of my idols since highschool. I missed my calling, almost.
big fan! music history,the best allround bassplayer, we love you ron!!
This is such a priceless interview!!!!! Thank you for this!!!🙏🙌

One of the best interviews ever! Intelligent and informative, not the same old, same old pat responses that so many musicians give.
It was the Low End Theory that ultimately got me into jazz via Ron of course.

Thanks Dom..... this is just a treat for a jazz fan.

love this bass player since 1970 or so!!
What a great guy!!!
Superb interview. Admiration for Ron Carter only grows.

Very well said...thanks!
Thank you Craig your your support & passion!
Wow THE Ron Carter! Can't wait to listen to this!!!
A legend indeed!!!
Wonderful interview. Thank you so much!
Wow, your Intro is magic alone!!!!!! Just a wonderful Vibe coming off both of you. Again I'm inspired.. Thank you all!
another great conversation
Thank you so much for this
A total master
Ron used to do a Jazz Workshop at Pitt back in da Dayyyy. Stil an educator!
..........Iconic and, fantastic!
another great one. thanks
I don't know if Mr Carter can sing, but he has such lovely speaking voice, I suspect he can
It's been a very, very long time, however I did sing in my high school choir...
Amazing channel ! Thank you for your great work and interviews you make Dom :)
Fantastic!!!
Thank you for this.
A really great interview.

Master
This is a great interview. I wonder if you could please do an interview with Bobby Mcferrin?
Kinda like "Let your ears be your guide and your hands will follow".
Very good! But next time.. careful with the background music not to be that loud ! Thx
Pat Metheny or John Scofiels would be nice! Keep up the incredible work!!!
The great RC, but why so serious ✌✌
Maybe I missed it- how not to ask Ron about Jaco?

@@joewhittle801 well said.
The interviewer stopped Ron's race riff because he wasn't emotionally ready to hear those sounds, trust that.
No sir you are incorrect!
