And he\u2019s still gigging and recording!!! Apparently he\u2019s the most recorded jazz bassist ever, playing on over 2,200 album (and with over 30 recordings under his own name). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for me it\u2019s not the quantity of his prodigious output, so much as the quality. He\u2019s on so many albums that I rank amongst my favourites, from the classic Miles Quintet recordings, to dates with Alice Coltrane and Brazilian maestro Tom Jobim. Although he\u2019s best known as an acoustic bassist, he has on occasion played electric. He\u2019s the cat holding down the low-register grooves on Roy Ayer\u2019s super-slinky We Live In Brooklyn, Baby!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k2vqJ78VA4g?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love Ron Carter anywhere near as much as I do, do yourself a favour and dig Rick Beato\u2019s terrific interview with this fantastic artist and human being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me May 4th is now going to be Ron Carter Day, as long as I live.
