Ronald Carter
Tumblr media
Ronald Levin Carter (born May 4, 1937) is an American jazz double bassist. His appearances on 2,221 recording sessions make him the most-recorded jazz bassist in history.
Carter is also a cellist who has recorded numerous times on that instrument. Some of his studio albums as a leader include: Blues Farm (1973); All Blues (1973); Spanish Blue (1974); Anything Goes (1975); Yellow & Green (1976); Pastels (1976); Piccolo (1977); Third Plane (1977); Peg Leg (1978); and A Song for You (1978).
Career
He was a member of the Miles Davis Quintet in the mid 1960s, which also included Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and drummer Tony Williams. Carter joined Davis's group in 1963, appearing on the album Seven Steps to Heaven and the follow-up E.S.P.. Carter also performed on some of Hancock, Williams and Shorter's recordings during the sixties for Blue Note Records. He was a sideman on many Blue Note recordings of the era, playing with Sam Rivers, Freddie Hubbard, Duke Pearson, Lee Morgan, McCoy Tyner, Andrew Hill, Horace Silver and many others. He was elected to the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame in 2012. In 1993, he won a Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Group and another Grammy in 1998 for "an instrumental composition for the film" Round Midnight. In 2010 he was honored with France's premier cultural award, the medallion and title of Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
Early life
Carter was born in Ferndale, Michigan. He started to play cello at the age of 10.
His first jobs as a jazz musician were playing bass with Jaki Byard and Chico Hamilton. His first records were made with Eric Dolphy (another former member of Hamilton's group) and Don Ellis, in 1960. His own first date as leader, Where?, with Eric Dolphy, Charlie Persip, Mal Waldron, George Duvivier, and a date also with Dolphy called Out There with George Duvivier and Roy Haynes and Carter on cello; its advanced harmonies and concepts were in step with the third stream movement.
Career
1960s–1980s
Carter came to fame via the second Miles Davis Quintet in the mid 1960s, which also included Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and drummer Tony Williams. Carter joined Davis's group in 1963, appearing on the album Seven Steps to Heaven and the follow-up E.S.P., the latter being the first album to feature only the full quintet. It also featured three of Carter's compositions (the only time he contributed compositions to Davis's group). He stayed with Davis until 1968 (when he was replaced by Dave Holland), and participated in a couple of studio sessions with Davis in 1969 and 1970. Although he played electric bass occasionally during this era of early jazz-rock fusion, he has subsequently stopped playing that instrument, and in the 2000s plays only double bass.
Carter also performed on some of Hancock, Williams and Shorter's recordings during the sixties for Blue Note Records. He was a sideman on many Blue Note recordings of the era, playing with Sam Rivers, Freddie Hubbard, Duke Pearson, Lee Morgan, McCoy Tyner, Andrew Hill, Horace Silver, and others. He also played on soul-pop star Roberta Flack's album First Take.
After leaving Davis, Carter was for several years a mainstay of CTI Records, making albums under his own name and also appearing on many of the label's records with a diverse range of other musicians. Notable musical partnerships in the 1970s and 1980s included Joe Henderson, Houston Person, Hank Jones, Gabor Szabo and Cedar Walton. During the 1970s he was a member of the New York Jazz Quartet. In 1986, Carter played double bass on "Big Man on Mulberry Street" on Billy Joel's album The Bridge.
1990s–2000s
In 1993, he won a Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Group and another Grammy in 1998 for "an instrumental composition for the film" Round Midnight. He appears on the alternative hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest's influential album The Low End Theory on a track called "Verses from the Abstract". He appeared as a member of the jazz combo the Classical Jazz Quartet. In 1994, Carter appeared on the Red Hot Organization's compilation album, Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool.
The album, meant to raise awareness and funds in support of the AIDS epidemic in relation to the African-American community, was heralded as "Album of the Year" by TIME. In 2001, Carter collaborated with Black Star and John Patton to record "Money Jungle" for the Red Hot Organization's compilation album, Red Hot + Indigo, a tribute to Duke Ellington.
Carter is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of the Music Department of City College of New York, having taught there for 20 years, and received an honorary Doctorate from the Berklee College of Music in Spring 2005. He joined the faculty of the Juilliard School in New York City in 2008, teaching bass in the school's Jazz Studies program. Carter made an appearance in Robert Altman's 1996 film, Kansas City. The end credits feature him and fellow bassist Christian McBride duetting on "Solitude".
Carter sits on the Advisory Committee of the Board of Directors of The Jazz Foundation of America and on the Honorary Founder's Committee. Carter has worked with the Jazz Foundation since its inception to save the homes and the lives of America's elderly jazz and blues musicians including musicians that survived Hurricane Katrina.
Most recently, Carter appeared as himself in an episode of the HBO series Treme entitled "What Is New Orleans" and his authorized biography, Ron Carter: Finding the Right Notes, (ISBN 978-0989982511) by Dan Ouellette, was published by ArtistShare in 2008.

Film Recommendations!
I thought I’d recommend some of my absolute favourite movies, because I love sharing my love of movies and just things in general with people. So, in no particular order, here is my list of recommendations:
1. Tombstone (1993)
Tumblr media
So I just watched this movie a couple days ago and absolutely loved it. Yes, it is a western. Do you need to like westerns to watch it? Nope. That’s why it’s great. And, it’s based on real people/real events. I sobbed hysterically at the end, but I’m also a huge sap. Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday is perfection. I love love love him.
Here’s the plot summary: Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) and his brothers, Morgan (Bill Paxton) and Virgil (Sam Elliott), have left their gunslinger ways behind them to settle down and start a business in the town of Tombstone, Ariz. While they aren't looking to find trouble, trouble soon finds them when they become targets of the ruthless Cowboy gang. Now, together with Wyatt's best friend, Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer), the brothers pick up their guns once more to restore order to a lawless land.
Quotes:
“I’m your huckleberry.”
“Why, Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave.”
“You gonna do somethin’ or just stand there and bleed?”
2. Fight Club (1999)
Tumblr media
Okay. Okay. I just watched this one, too, and let me tell you. If you haven’t seen it/haven’t been spoiled for it, you have no idea what it’s really about. Honestly. It’s so fuckin’ weird and it blew my mind which is something I thought only M. Night Shyamalan could do. Wow, just. . . wow. Watch it, I implore you. I think everyone essentially knows the basic plot, but here it is if you want it, straight from google:
A depressed man (Edward Norton) suffering from insomnia meets a strange soap salesman named Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) and soon finds himself living in his squalid house after his perfect apartment is destroyed. The two bored men form an underground club with strict rules and fight other men who are fed up with their mundane lives. Their perfect partnership frays when Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), a fellow support group crasher, attracts Tyler's attention.
Quotes:
“You met me at a very strange time in my life.”
“The things you own end up owning you.”
“It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.”
3. Unbreakable (2000)
Tumblr media
Speaking of M. Night Shyamalan. While every one of his movies I’ve seen (Split, Glass, Lady in the Water, The Visit) have all been fantastic and mind-blowing, Unbreakable still has my favourite premise and my favourite Shyamalan twist ending. I love this one, even though I don’t really care for Bruce Willis.
Plot summary: A security guard, having been the sole survivor of a high-fatality train crash, finds himself at the centre of a mysterious theory that explains his consistent physical good fortune. When news of his survival is made public, a man whose own body is excessively weak tracks him down in an attempt to explain his unique unbreakable nature.
Quotes:
“Do you know what the scariest thing is? To not know your place in this world. To not know why you’re here.”
4. This is the End (2013)
Tumblr media
Seth Rogen. Jay Baruchel. James Franco. Jonah Hill. Danny McBride. Craig Robinson. Playing themselves. The apocalypse. Hilarity ensues. Cameos from Emma Watson, Kevin Hart, Michael Cera, Rihanna, Paul Rudd, Channing Tatum, Aziz Ansari, Jason Segel, Mindy Kaling, and the Backstreet Boys. It’s so funny, I absolutely love it.
Plot summary: In Hollywood, actor James Franco is throwing a party with a slew of celebrity pals. Among those in attendance are his buddies Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson. Suddenly, an apocalypse of biblical proportions erupts, causing untold carnage among Tinseltown's elite and trapping Franco's party in his home. As the world they knew disintegrates outside, cabin fever and dwindling supplies threaten to tear the six friends apart.
Quotes:
“I don’t want to die at James Franco’s house.”
“Oh, no, no, no. I’m drinking and smoking weed. I’m on a cleanse, I’m not psychotic.”
“Take it easy, Dumbledore.”
5. You’ve Got Mail (1998)
Tumblr media
Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. This might be my favourite romantic comedy, and I watch a lot. They’re adorable, and Meg Ryan is everything. This one made me cry twice. Once from sadness, once from happiness. Also it has Dave Chappelle in it, who I absolutely love.
Plot summary: Struggling boutique bookseller Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) hates Joe Fox (Tom Hanks), the owner of a corporate Foxbooks chain store that just moved in across the street. When they meet online, however, they begin an intense and anonymous Internet romance, oblivious of each other's true identity. Eventually Joe learns that the enchanting woman he's involved with is actually his business rival. He must now struggle to reconcile his real-life dislike for her with the cyber love he's come to feel.
Quotes:
“There’s the dream of someone else.”
“But I just wanted to say that all this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings.”
“I love daisies. They’re so friendly. Don’t you think daisies are the friendliest flower?”
6. A Hard Day’s Night (1964)
Tumblr media
For anyone who loves The Beatles. Here they play themselves, and show what their lives are like. It’s ridiculous and hilarious and god, if I didn’t love them before I loved them dearly after watching. It’s such a fun, easy watch and I adore it.
Plot summary: Over two "typical" days in the life of The Beatles, the boys struggle to keep themselves and Sir Paul McCartney's mischievous grandfather in check while preparing for a live television performance.
Quotes:
“How did you find America?” “Turned left at Greenland.”
“Hey mister can we have our ball back!”
“You’re a swine.”
7. Dazed and Confused (1993)
Tumblr media
My favourite movie to watch at the beginning and end of the school year, and let’s be honest, every month in between. I’ve seen this movie more times than I can say. I love the ‘70’s setting, the actors, the plot. Another wonderful, easy watch that just makes me happy. Killer soundtrack, too.
Plot summary: The adventures of high school and junior high students on the last day of school in May 1976.
Quotes:
“You just gotta keep livin’, man. L-i-v-i-n.”
“It’d be a lot cooler if you did.”
“I just wanna look back and say that I did it the best that I could while I was stuck in this place.”
“I’d like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, is some minor, insignificant preamble to somethin’ else.”
8. Dirty Dancing (1987)
Tumblr media
Anything with Patrick Swayze is wonderful, and this is no exception. Johnny and Baby are perfect. This movie also has the best soundtrack of any movie I’ve ever watched. Fantastic love story, fantastic movie. Watch it.
Plot summary: Baby (Jennifer Grey) is one listless summer away from the Peace Corps. Hoping to enjoy her youth while it lasts, she's disappointed when her summer plans deposit her at a sleepy resort in the Catskills with her parents. Her luck turns around, however, when the resort's dance instructor, Johnny (Patrick Swayze), enlists Baby as his new partner, and the two fall in love. Baby's father forbids her from seeing Johnny, but she's determined to help him perform the last big dance of the summer.
Quotes:
“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”
“Fight harder, huh? I don’t see you fighting so hard, Baby. I don’t see you running up to daddy telling him I’m your guy.”
“You’re right, Johnny. You can’t win no matter what you do.”
“Go back to your playpen, Baby.”
9. The Sound of Music (1965)
Tumblr media
This is such a beautiful movie, and I love it so much. My mom and I try to watch it every Christmas as our little tradition. Julie Andrews as Maria is so wonderful, and all of the songs are so, so good. I love all of the children dearly, and oh, do I love Captain VonTrapp.
Plot summary: A tuneful, heartwarming story, it is based on the real life story of the Von Trapp Family singers, one of the world's best-known concert groups in the era immediately preceding World War II. Julie Andrews plays the role of Maria, the tomboyish postulant at an Austrian abbey who becomes a governess in the home of a widowed naval captain with seven children, and brings a new love of life and music into the home.
Quotes:
“You cry a little, and then you wait for the sun to come out. It always does.”
“God bless Louisa, Brigitta, Marta, and little Gretl. Oh, I forgot the other boy. What’s his name? Well, god bless what’s-his-name.”
“I want you to stay. I ask you to stay.”
10. Gladiator (2000)
Tumblr media
“Are you not entertained?” I think everyone has heard that line, from this amazing movie. One of the many that has made me cry, it’s such a beautiful story. Also, gladiators. That immediately sells it for me. All of the performances by the actors are top notch as well.
Plot summary: Set in Roman times, the story of a once-powerful general forced to become a common gladiator. The emperor's son is enraged when he is passed over as heir in favour of his father's favourite general. He kills his father and arranges the murder of the general's family, and the general is sold into slavery to be trained as a gladiator - but his subsequent popularity in the arena threatens the throne.
Quotes:
“My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance. In this life or the next.”
“What we do in life echoes in eternity.”
“Falling down is how we grow. Staying down is how we die.”

Who Will Win Every WWE Championship Title Next, Whether We Want Them To Or Not We're in the slow part of WWE's calendar. Summerslam just passed. Survivor Series isn't for another two months. And that makes it a good time to step back and take stock of things. Where are the storylines headed? Which champions are going to dominate as we head into 2019? And which new WWE and NXT Superstars are ready for their closeup?There are 15 official championships in WWE, spread across the two main roster promotions, NXT, and NXT UK. And the current crop of WWE champions is unusually talented--each of them is a proven quantity with the charisma and talent to carry the company. Even so, someone will unseat each of them, eventually.Here are our top picks to win every WWE Championship belt. It's not who we want to win; it's who will win, based on where the storyline is headed. If you liked this gallery, be sure to check out our write-up on the recent Shield reunion, and our criticism of the WWE Network. And be sure to check back in to Gamespot Universe on Sunday, September 17, for live coverage of the WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. 1. NXT UK Women's Championship (Spoiler Alert)Current Champion: Rhea RipleyFuture Champion: Toni StormThis hasn't aired on the WWE Network yet, but Rhea Ripley is the inaugural NXT UK Women's champion. She won an eight-woman tournament, pinning Toni Storm in the finals. Ripley has a body that's built to kill, and her presence and athleticism should give her a long run with the title, especially since she won't be defending it every week.The person most likely to take it from her is Toni Storm, the runner-up to the tournament, or some other wrestler who we haven't met yet. The only other WWE-signed, UK-affiliated wrestler with a comparably high profile is Dakota Kai, and her recent losses to Lacey Evans, Shayna Baszler, and Toni Storm do not bode well for her. 2. WWE United Kingdom ChampionshipCurrent Champion: Pete DunneFuture Champion: Trent SevenWhat makes the UK division so appealing, at least to older fans, is that's it's heavier on wrestling, and lighter on "sports entertainment" than most of WWE. The critically acclaimed WWE United Kingdom Championship tournament was proof of that appeal--a grueling battery of matches that was physically painful to watch. 3. NXT Tag Team ChampionshipCurrent Champion: The Undisputed EraFuture Champion: War RaidersThe Undisputed Era has a lot of individual charisma--too much, in fact, for them to stay together much longer. These four men--Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, and Roderick Strong-- were built for singles success; they look like a collection of talented performers instead of a dedicated, specialized tag team. It's only a matter of time before carrying the belts holds them back instead of advancing them forward.War Raiders, on the other hand, are monsters with a unified, rugged look; WWE could put the belts on them indefinitely, and it wouldn't compromise the title's reputation. They're not a long-term solution--it's difficult to see how the War Raiders distinguish themselves from The Ascension, Authors of Pain, Bludgeon Brothers, or any of the other monster tag teams in WWE But they'll certainly maintain the status quo until the right team comes along to topple them. 4. NXT North American ChampionshipCurrent Champion: RicochetFuture Champion: Velveteen DreamThe invention of a midcard in NXT was overdue and necessary. There was too much talent fighting for too few prizes. It's given an incredible spotlight to Ricochet, who has shone since his WWE debut and is the current NXT North American champion.And a contributing factor to Ricochet's success is been Velveteen Dream, who has spent the better part of two years putting over his fellow competitors, including Aleister Black and Adam Cole. A championship win will allow Dream to move to the main roster with a lot more credibility, It would also be a nice payback after a series of high-profile losses. 5. NXT Women's ChampionshipCurrent Champion: Kairi SaneFuture Champion: Bianca BelairThanks to fantastic booking, the NXT Women's Championship is actually one of the most prestigious titles in WWE. The current holder, Kairi Sane, won it in a bit of an upset. She previously beat Shayna Baszler in last year's Mae Young Classic tournament, but was clearly outmatched by Baszler at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn IV before reversing the champion's chokehold into a pinfall.Baszler could win the title back, but it's unlikely; she'll probably be called up to the main roster as an opponent for Ronda Rousey. Io Shirai, who tangled with Sane in Japan, would be an ideal successor champion, but she just got to WWE; it's way too soon. Bianca Belair, on the other hand, is ready. She was the breakout star at the 2018 Women's Royal Rumble, and she'll make a great NXT champion until Shirai obtains the necessary experience to win it from her. 6. NXT ChampionshipCurrent Champion: Tommaso Ciampa Future Champion: Johnny Gargano We've seen the Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano fight multiple times, but it's still not old. The chemistry between these two is that good. Ciampa isn't the antihero who fans love to hate; he's a villain who fans actually hate, and that gives this feud the heat that it needs. But at some point, Gargano is going to win the title, and he's going to win it from Ciampa. The WWE universe is, by and large, a just universe, where the heel will eventually get his or her comeuppance. It may not happen immediately; they could stretch this out to Wrestlemania season if they wanted to. But Gargano will finally triumph over his nemesis, and it will be an instant Match of the Year contender when it finally happens. 7. WWE Cruiserweight ChampionshipCurrent Champion: Cedric AlexanderFuture Champion: Drew GulakFor a few months, WWE pushed the Cruiserweight division as the newest addition to Raw. However, cruiserweight action turned out to be a niche interest, and its overall vibe, which was cultivated during the WWE Cruiserweight Classic tournament, was a poor match for Raw's theatrics. Now that it's scaled back to a more realistic size--a WWE Network exclusive show, 205 Live--it's no longer burdened by unrealistic expectations.Cedric Alexander is a great champion. And after Alexander, the next in line for the belt should be Drew Gulak. Yes, Gulak lost his match against Alexander at Summerslam. But they'll definitely have another match, and no one else on the cruiserweight roster, besides Gulak, has the win/loss record to present a credible challenge. 8. WWE SmackDown Tag Team ChampionshipCurrent Champion: The New DayFuture Champion: The UsosThe New Day defeated the Bludgeon Brothers to win the tag team titles for the fifth time in their careers. And although they're currently embroiled in a feud with Rusev and Aiden English, there's no way they're going to lose the titles to them, as much as the fans might want that to happen.Instead, the Usos are the most likely, and best possible successors. Their 2017 spat with the New Day led to one of the best feuds of the year, particularly their barnburner at last year's Hell in a Cell. These two teams have the sort of in-ring chemistry that elevates both of them, and it'll be a joy to see that again in the coming months. 9. WWE United States ChampionshipCurrent Champion: Shinsuke NakamuraFuture Champion: Daniel BryanFinally, after much delay, Daniel Bryan has signed a new contract. And that means, with any luck, that he'll begin chasing a title run once he's finished with The Miz. AJ Styles and Samoa Joe will be going back and forth with the WWE Championship for the foreseeable future. And so, Bryan's best chance at a title is fighting Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship.Ever since he turned heel, Nakamura has been doing some great character work; his twitchy, eccentric schtick much works better as a villain than as a hero. He should drop the title to someone who can benefit from it the most. And Bryan certainly can; he's never fought Nakamura before, which adds an extra level of excitement to a potential feud. 10. WWE SmackDown Women's ChampionshipCurrent Champion: Charlotte FlairFuture Champion: AsukaCharlotte Flair is the new Smackdown Women's champion. And try as she might, the newly villainous Becky Lynch will not take the title off her. It's a fun change in character for Lynch; she seems relieved to do something new. But WWE has never given the Lasskicker her due, and they're not going to start now; she will continue to occupy her dedicated niche. The hardcore fans will no doubt be upset with this decision, but it's clear that WWE isn't catering to them.There's only one woman on the WWE roster (aside from Ronda Rousey--more on her later) who's been booked to hang tough with Flair, to and that's Asuka. At some point, she will avenge her Wrestlemania loss and become the new Smackdown Women's champion. 11. WWE ChampionshipCurrent Champion: AJ StylesFuture Champion: Samoa JoeIt took the rebooting of an old rivalry, but Samoa Joe has been doing the best work of his WWE career in recent weeks. He's been absolutely despicable, taunting AJ Styles, his wife, and his daughter. And the best thing about Joe's heel act is the level of self-hatred and projection going on; everything that Joe is saying about Styles, he's really saying about himself.If Joe doesn't take the belt off Styles, then no one on the current Smackdown roster will take the belt off Styles. We'll have to wait until another Superstar Shakeup for something to finally happen. 12. WWE Raw Tag Team ChampionshipCurrent Champion: Drew McIntyre and Dolph ZigglerFuture Champion: Seth Rollins and Dean AmbroseThe main event Raw feud between Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, and Braun Strowman vs. Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns doesn't quite gel. With the exception of Ziggler and Ambrose, everyone involved would be better off as a solo act.But since the roster is overcrowded, and WWE needs to give everyone something to do, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose should win the tag team titles. It'll give Ambrose some extra time to shake off the ring rust after a long layover, and it'll mean that every Shield member will simultaneously hold gold--an impressive visual for any video package or social media post. 13. WWE Intercontinental ChampionshipCurrent Champion: Seth RollinsFuture Champion: Drew McIntyreThis becomes a matter of musical chairs. Around the same time that Ambrose and Rollins win the tag team titles from McIntyre and Ziggler, McIntyre will turn on Ziggler, win the Intercontinental Championship from Rollins, and begin the solo run we've been waiting for. He's too big and intimidating to ignore for much longer.The Intercontinental Championship is quietly regaining the prestige it once held in the late '80s and early '90s. A McIntyre run will help solidify the title's reputation as a gateway to the main event rather than an upper-middle card dead end. Current Champion: Ronda RouseyFuture Champion: Charlotte FlairRousey beat Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women's Championship. She's not going to lose the title any time soon--at least not until Wrestlemania 35, and even that isn't guaranteed. WWE is clearly committed to her stardom.The most likely candidate to take the belt off Rousey is Charlotte Flair. She's the most successful of the Four Horsewomen, she handed Asuka her first loss at Wrestlemania 34, and she furthers the Flair family legacy. If WWE wants to headlline and main event a WrestleMania show with a women's match, 2019 might be the year to do it. 15. WWE Universal ChampionshipCurrent Champion: Roman ReignsFuture Champion: Braun StrowmanBraun Strowman has been mishandled for the past couple of weeks. WWE took an organic babyface push--one that made Strowman the most heavily cheered performer on the roster--and threw it in the garbage. He's using lackeys--McIntyre and Ziggler--to do his dirty work against The Shield, when really, he should be taking on The Shield by himself, 3-on-1. This is the same guy who tipped over a truck--three guys should be a "fair fight."He might not win the Universal title at Hell in a Cell; Reigns will probably have a long run with it to give him some credibility. But at the Royal Rumble, or at Wrestlemania 35, there could be a crowning moment for the Monster Among Men. Reigns has had his best matches against Strowman, and there's no reason why they wouldn't revive that chemistry on the biggest possible stage.
