Staggering on Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Last night just by chance I noticed that a new documentary about Ron Carter was going to premiere on PBS and of course I had to check it out. Part of it was shot in 2017 and some from 2022 and it gives a very good picture of this amazing musician who has played on over 2200 recording sessions and at 85 is still touring and composing, he won his third Grammy this year. I don't know when/if/how it will be available outside North America but it is definitely worth watching, it's called Ron Carter: Finding the right notes and features comments from many of the great musicians he has played with and contemporary interviews with players and the man himself. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is it not being quite a while semitone away! Ron seems to have this problem on occasion too .. his intonation on piccolo is awful. I guess a small error on a tiny bass makes a big difference. Still a great player though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s suffering with bad back - dates being rescheduled for next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
