What a wonderful guy Ron is! I have had a few exchanges with him on Facebook, and he's as gracious and informative as he was with you. I REALLY REALLY wanted to hear about his work with the great Lee Morgan, in particular, the album "The Procrastinator," perhaps the best post bop jazz album ever made... in my view. It was recorded in 1967, and criminally put in the can, unreleased until years later... I also want to hear him speak about his Juzek bass- if that is the only bass he plays, the strings he USED TO use in the mid 1960's, and the way he amplifies the bass currently. Many thanks for this interview. Give the bass player some!
Love the Ron Carter interview, he is thee elder staresman the last man standing, great that he is doing these interview because he is a wealth of infomation.I also loved the Pat Methany interview.Keep them coming.Thank you Rick. Maybe Paul Wertico, Ralph Towner.Also loved the Gary Burton piece.
this was the BEST . Ron is living history . Mr. Carter thanks for the lessons and the music. Rick does a fantastic interview here . So much detail. just great.
Rick. Ron Carter is one of my favorites. You can hear the beauty of his soul in his notes. I was so moved by your discussion with him. Thank you so much, and please keep up the great work. With love and respect - Jamie
Amazing interview Rick. Ron Carter is not only a legend is a great man too. Great sense of humor as well as a photographic memory. God bless you both 🙏
@@RonCarterBassist Dear Ron is my pleasure. Being a jazz pianist i admire you since long long time ago. by the way I also like to say that my dear friend Michael Chastang a jazz bass player from Spain that I think studied with you many years ago , he just passed away recently...just in case you like to know. All the best
Just discovered Ron Carter's interviews and his work on You Tube. Heard him play often in NYC in 1963-66; then 66-74, before I split from NYC. Great musician. In my day Ray Brown got all the accolades, but Ron Carter was great.
I've been following the career of one of Ron's proteges, a pianist, but could only ever wonder at what their conversations might be like. This interview, Rick, puts that maestro-protege relationship into much greater focus, and establishes beyond any doubt why this man's influence in music, in society and culture, is so enormous. Ron Carter is the mother lode of introspection and creative drive, of musical empowerment, and I can hear his influence everywhere. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I have to say, Mr. Carter, that your gig with Mulligan and Baker @ Carnegie Hall along with Scofield, B. James, I believe Idris Muhammad on drums and some one on Vibes who escapes me at the moment is one of my favorite LPs. I've heard alot of your stuff but this is one for the ages. Could be because Gerry and Chet were friends of my dads, in any case, I highly recommend you revisit it.
This interview is great. I love questions and answers that denote a deep level of human style and a personality of a high class. To me this is an extension of your music. I'll keep listening cause I feel huge Love and Respect. Thank You
Ron, I stumbled upon your channel by accident, seeing your comment on a video of Monk's Dream. Thank you for sharing your stories, music, and personality. Your channel is a treasure trove.
Thanks Ron and Rick, absolutely amazing interview. Really interesting to hear how some of my favoirite recordings were made without the muscians knowing. Several comments from Ron on how to interact with the bass and the bass role. Will help me as a pianist.
This is really great. I'm sitting hear trying to raise my hand with questions because the questions being asked are really interesting, and they lead to other questions.
Dear Mr. Carter, I was watching your interview with Rick Beato on his channel and that brought me over here to your YT channel. Subbed! Of all the wonderful things you talked about, what really made me nod my head was when Rick asked you who you wish you'd played with and you immediately said Ella ❤❤❤ Absolutely. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge, experience and perspective with Rick. It's such a valuable contribution to Music History 🙏🙏🙏
Epic interview. Thank you. I don't think I can aspire to achieve as much musically as he has but if I can speak as astutely, humorously and kindly as he can when I'm his age, I'll be happy
Thanks so much for this. I watched this already on Rick’s channel but had to come back for more. I just came out of lesson that segued into a long conversation about all the players amd tracks on Speak no Evil - my favourite jazz album, of any era, and among my favourite works of art in any field. There’s so much insight in this single interview. I hope someone is gonna help you with a memoir if it isnt already underway. Your honest and humble attitude is so striking in relation to the enormous significance of your life’s work in music. Very few artists, sportsmen, writers are prepared to park their ego in this way.
Mr. Jons, thank you for these kind, kind words! I am so appreciative! I don't have a "memoir" per se, but I do have an autobiography. Check out roncarterbooks.com/products/finding-the-right-notes-paperback. All the best!
I believe the bass players, especially in big bands, with no amplification, had to position the strings high so they could attack every note hoping to be heard over the "four on the floor' bass drum notes. With proper amplification, the bassist could employ three fingers for more notes and less fatigue. Also bebop eliminated heavy "floor on the floor" bass drum style. Steve

Rick you're smiling like me and hundreds of others watching this from beginning to end ... Amazing, thank you!!

Ron Carter, the most accessible musical legend of all time. Just puts himself out there to connect with fans. A great man.
I know! Ron is so generous with his time because he really cares about what he does. Thank you, Ron! You are a legend! You are so loved!
Ron Carter interview amazing
One of my favorites
Rochester loves you sir. I know you spent time at Penfield HS with the kids there. You are a musical legend and a true gentleman. God bless you.

You know Ron, I'll be re-watching this dozens of times!
Don't forget Jim Hall's Concierto.
Gold, just gold. Ron’s description of 1961 NY Jazz scene - incredible
Ron is a Jazz Legend. Such a humble gentleman that doesn't seem to realize his greatness in the world of Jazz.
Thank you very much for such kind words.

Ray Brown was mainly in LA .. I used to see him at AFM 47 in Hollywood…

Fantastic interview! And I hope I look as good and sound as sharp as Ron when I'm in my 80s.
30:10 One of the most hilarious session stories in existence...

Great, great interview. Loved it.
What a beautiful interview 🙂
When you are weary, listen to Ron Carter and your life will be immeasurably enhanced.
Great interview

Thank you! Check me out on other social media as well!
@@RonCarterBassist I have a question. Is this really you, *the* Ron Carter, or is it PR commenting on your behalf?
@@boidoh Whether or not I type the comment in myself, nothing is commented on without my approval.
Thanks Ron and Rick, absolutely amazing interview. Really interesting to hear how some of my favoirite recordings were made without the muscians knowing. Several comments from Ron on how to interact with the bass and the bass role. Will help me as a pianist.
I am deeply pleased to help you grow as a musician, Mr. Zetterberg.
This is really great. I'm sitting hear trying to raise my hand with questions because the questions being asked are really interesting, and they lead to other questions.

This was such a great interview! Rick asked a few things I hadn't heard discussed before. 🙏🏼
Thanks for this!

O.......M......G....!
I’d love to hear you, Ron, talk about Jobim
Yes, Ron on the Jobim recordings are great, Ron's bass lines!!
I believe the bass players, especially in big bands, with no amplification, had to position the strings high so they could attack every note hoping to be heard over the "four on the floor' bass drum notes. With proper amplification, the bassist could employ three fingers for more notes and less fatigue. Also bebop eliminated heavy "floor on the floor" bass drum style.
Steve
ESP is the record with RJ and Eighty One!
Most awesome... :)
Don't forget the great Paul Chambers...
Great interview but I I do have one question: 1961 was already a good 5 years into rock'n'roll no?
👌👌😎
Rick can barely contain his glee while Ron is describing bass mic placement around 18:00
When do we get part 2?
Watch this space!
What about Hubert laws ?
Or joe Henderson please
