Ron Carter is 87 at the time of this show. Let that sink in. The man is an absolute legend.

[bergsonnebien]

Ron, bientôt 50 ans que vous offrez le meilleur à mes oreilles et à mon coeur ; que vous accompagnez ma vie, avec la plus grande élégance, humilité, générosité. Immense merci pour votre talent suprême qui touche chacun qui vous écoute 🙏🏽

[christianefleurant]

Tonight I'm taking a break from the Olympics Games and I don't feel out of place at all. Gentlemen, you are gold medalists for me. Thank you, thank you .

[stevebr]

Ron Carter is a national treasure and i really mean that!

[davidschnittman]

Love, just love this…one of the great things about Covid lockdown was the emergence of Emmet Cohen!

[Horsemam]

Hello from Ireland, so great to see live jazz from Birdland. Thanks to Emmet, whose broadcasts kept me sane during the pandemic. Thanks to Ron Carter for his legendary lifetime of music. Loving this music tonight, it has soul, and it swings.

[dpw]

Ron Carter. I'm so glad I caught this.

[JazzGroove]

Emmet Cohen is 34 years of age. Ron Carter is 87 years old. A difference of 53 years!

And therein lies the beauty of remarkable musicians separated by two generations still willing and able to get together and to perform wonderful music for all of us to enjoy.

JAZZ LIVES!!!!

[CHUBBAAWUBBAA]

Absolutely insane to see Emmet and Ron playing together

[waltersassano]

Saw this trio the following night from this recording. Ron Carter's 9-minute solo about an hour into the show brought the house down. Such a fantastic night of music.

[cheri]

And now the world is a better place to hear these legendary gems of jazz.
BRAVO 👏 👏 👏
🙏♥️🌎🌍🌏🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵💫✨️💫

Incredible musicianship on the stage. Ron Carter is still doing it.

[mylittlemexicanfriend]

I was at Birdland for the show the day before, was amazing! great music and vibes. Emmet even came out after and had a nice little chat with a whole line of people (me included) he even agreed to sign a poster I bought that very night (thank you again if your reading this). was definitely a highlight of my vacation to New York. cannot emphasize how nice of a guy he was

[gordonkrainen]

All were superb ! The drummer was not showy but fit in with the group well. What a great show!

[mountainsMatt]

So well done. Its an acoustical equivalent to smelling a childhood memory of grandma cooking chocolate chip cookies! Thank you Emmet and the band, priceless rhythms...🍷

[mountainsMatt]

And there it is, the joyful smile Emmet shares when he plays. A package deal with the quality acoustics. Thank you Emmet, i raise a toast...🍷

[sunnywrightmusic]

That Bass solo made me feel like I was having a conversation with the man…

[gnillgig]

Una fantastica allegria! Ottima performance
