| | The International Institute Of Bassists Bass Lessons Online - Cliff Engel |
 | | Carter often outlines turnarounds (usually the last two measures of the song form) with root notes played on beats one and three and chromatic approach notes on beats two and four to heighten the underlying sense of tension and release and further propel the music forward. | | | Jazz bass virtuoso Ron Carter was born in 1937 near Detroit and raised in a musical family. | | | Carter's extensive use of left hand articulations including pull-off skips and glissandos have become an integral part of his signature sound. |

| | Ron Carter - Impulse! Records |
| | Carter's nearly as accomplished in classical music as jazz, and has performed with symphony orchestras all over the world. | | | Carter also toured and recorded with Bobby Timmons' trio, and played with Cannonball Adderley. | | | He's led his own bands at various intervals since 1972, using a second bassist to keep time and establish harmony so he's free to provide solos. |

| | Ron Carter is a true master- a musician of the highest order. | | | If it were up to me to title a record for Ron Carter, it would be, simply and respectfully, "Maestro". | | | In December of last year, "The Bass and I" was riding the number one spot of the Gavin Radio charts and it was the number one selling jazz CD at Tower Records. |

| | Boston.com / A&E / Music / Ron Carter happy just to put down a base |
| | Carter is well read, cultured, famously punctual and disciplined, and savvy about the music business. | | | Carter recalls a recent record date at which his decision not to play any solos prompted consternation in the studio. | | | Two widely imitated trademarks are his pregnant long notes and the elongated portamento -- the deep-knee-bend slide that Alexander found so stimulating -- that causes the music to hover as if Carter had turned off gravity. |

| | Carter’s Bach and Grieg, then just don’t listen to it. | | | Carter take a further leap, by mixing classical music with sounds that aren’t from the classical tradition? | | | What I’ve been hearing is his latest release on the Blue Note label, titled Brandenburg Concerto, and offering Grieg, Handel, Bartok and Ravel as well as Bach, in arrangements that either turn the music into jazz, or add jazz commentary. |

| | CD Review of Ron Carter - Stardust on Blue Note @ jazzreview.com |
| | But Carter knows these musicians’ interests and abilities, and music being music, he knows that musicians possess a never-ending curiosity about the intricacies and delights of harmonic sound and that music transcends boundaries, both mental and geographical. | | | Thankfully, Ron Carter continues to record, and as a result we can continue to enjoy a stream of his musical consciousness as Blue Note regularly releases his CD’s. | | | The perfect ending to the CD, the title track, spotlights Carter and Hanna as a duo as the bassist carries the melody, reminding us of their work in the 1970’s in The New York Jazz Quartet (with Frank Wess and Ben Riley). |

| | Blue Note Records |
| | Carter’s studio goal was to mirror a club setting and play the songs (three covers, four Carter compositions and one each by Malone and Miller) on a continuum, taking few breaks and avoiding distractions. | | | One of the most revered and technically accomplished acoustic bassists in jazz, Ron Carter has recorded over fifty albums as a leader and participated in countless recordings as a session player (conservative estimates have him contributing to over 2000 albums). | | | The lighthearted “A Quick Sketch” was originally recorded for a recording Carter made with Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams and Wynton Marsalis. |

| | Long time Ron Carter fans listening to this album may worry when they don’t hear the trademark bass solo but if they are patient they will be rewarded as the signature solo comes in the last tune "Samba de Orfeu." | | | While this sounds complex and difficult, which it is, the Ron Carter Sextet pulls it off in a manner that flows naturally and keeps the music compelling. | | | This album is well recorded and allows the individual instruments to be heard clearly as they play their complex and intertwined roles. |
