423: Ron Carter (from the archives)
This "best of" episode features composer, teacher, and bassist Ron Carter. Enjoy, and check out the original episode from 2016 here.
About Ron Carter
Ron Carter is among the most original, prolific, and influential bassists in jazz. With more than 2,000 albums to his credit, he has recorded with many of music's greats: Tommy Flanagan, Gil Evans, Lena Horne, Bill Evans, B.B. King, the Kronos Quartet, Dexter Gordon, Wes Montgomery, and Bobby Timmons. In the early 1960s he performed throughout the United States in concert halls and nightclubs with Jaki Byard and Eric Dolphy.
He later toured Europe with Cannonball Adderley. From 1963 to 1968, he was a member of the classic and acclaimed Miles Davis Quintet. He was named Outstanding Bassist of the Decade by the Detroit News, Jazz Bassist of the Year by Downbeat magazine, and Most Valuable Player by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. In 1993 Ron Carter earned a Grammy award for Best Jazz Instrumental Group, the Miles Davis Tribute Band and another Grammy in 1998 for Call 'Sheet Blues', an instrumental composition from the film 'Round Midnight.
In addition to scoring and arranging music for many films, including some projects for Public Broadcasting System, Carter has composed music for A Gathering of Old Men, starring Lou Gosset Jr., The Passion of Beatrice directed by Bertrand Tavernier, and Blind Faith starring Courtney B. Vance. Carter shares his expertise in the series of books he authored, among which are Building Jazz Bass Lines and The Music of Ron Carter; the latter contains 130 of his published and recorded compositions.
Carter earned a bachelor of music degree from the Eastman School in Rochester and a master's degree in double bass from the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. He has also received four honorary doctorates, from the New England Conservatory of Music and the Manhattan School of Music, and was the 2002 recipient of the prestigious Hutchinson Award from the Eastman School at the University of Rochester. Most recently he was honored by the French Minister of Culture with France's premier cultural award--the medallion and title of Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters, given to those who have distinguished themselves in the domain of artistic or literary creation and for their contribution to the spread of arts and letters in France and the world.
Carter has lectured, conducted, and performed at clinics and master classes, instructing jazz ensembles and teaching the business of music at numerous universities. He was Artistic Director of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Studies while it was located in Boston and, after 18 years on the faculty of the Music Department of The City College of New York, he is now Distinguished Professor Emeritus although, as a performer, he remains as active as ever.

The Upton Bass String Instrument Company
Upton’s Bostonian was conceived at the 2009 International Society of Double Bassists convention at State College, Pennsylvania, while world-renowned jazz bassist and Professor of Jazz Studies at the University of North Texas, Lynn Seaton and Upton Bass String Instrument Co. President and Founder, Gary Upton Birkhamshaw were playing and discussing the various instruments Upton Bass had created for the convention. They started with a blank sheet of paper, and together began jotting down Lynn’s preferences and suggestion with each model. The result was a rough outline of what would become the UB Bostonian Concert Double Bass.

People who love music tend to love lists of music. The single best one I’ve ever seen is a list of 125 dub reggae albums written by a teenager named Snoopy in 1977. It filled an entire page of a newspaper. The first 20 or 35 albums make up what I think is one of the greatest bodies of popular music ever recorded. Altogether, the work is the best guide I’ve ever seen to the golden age of dub reggae.
Half of the top ten come from the master King Tubby, the late Osbourne Ruddock, who was killed after coming home from the studio. Lee “Scratch” Perry, who may have burned his own studio down, is responsible for three of those ten. Lower down, no fewer than seven were made by my personal favorite, Dub Specialist. Even more come from the Revolutionaries (Channel One’s band) and the Aggrovators (Bunny Lee’s), both featuring Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. There are several by Sonia Pottinger, or S.E. Pottinger, one of the first female reggae producers, and one of the most interesting.
And don’t miss the deep and wonderful 4th Street Orchestra, Augustus Pablo, Yabby You, Joe Gibbs, Keith Hudson, Errol Brown, Lloyd Coxsone, Rupie Edwards, B.B. Seaton, Duke Reid, Derrick Harriott, Skin, Flesh & Bones, and Tommy McCook.
