One of the greatest jazz bassists, Ron Carter continues to play and teach in his 80s! Mad respect.

And he makes even a simple scale sound cool.

[robertray]

I love how he played the scale totally straight but you can still here the swing in the ghost notes.

[Njabuloseh]

Never heard a major scale sound so good 😅

[joshuabeeAlafia]

Ron Carter's musical genius is priceless.

[giovi.]

Although I am not a bass player I find his voice and teachings so wise and soothing.

This man is a Grand MASTER. Very few of his breed and stature remain. Herbie, Sonny, and him. That's about it. Respect.

This makes so much sense, I can now see how they are able to do those fast runs, etc.

This guy has a wealth of knowledge.

[JazzTroopa]

Living, walking, talking Jazz History. Most everything that everyone else wrote about Jazz, he actually participated in. He Was There. His First Person Perspective on Anything Jazz is Priceless...
