Ron Carter played in Miles Davis' legendary quintet in the 1960s and is one of the few living legends of jazz. He has appeared on more than 2000 CDs and records. About his rhythmic qualities musicians say: "He doesn't mark the groove, he is the groove!" For more than half a century Ron Carter has been one of the tone-setting double bassists of jazz. With his philosophy of absolute professionalism and reliability, he has become the role model for entire generations of jazz musicians.
In his sensational quartet, Ron Carter may be the head and call the shots when it comes to making music, but that's exactly how he sees himself as a group-serving musician who wants to help each of his fellow players develop their full potential - in the interest of the overall musical picture. The interplay that results is simply magical. Besides Miles Davis, Ron Carter has worked with Gil Evans, Cannonball Adderley, Eric Dolphy, Freddie Hubbard, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock and McCoy Tyner, in solo projects, with big bands and even in the field of hip-hop. As before, his playing is full of radiance and elegance. Filigree mainstream and modern jazz at its best.
