Item Description
"Ron Carter: Finding the Right Notes" by Dan Ouellette. (Paperback)
Songwriter and vocalist Gil Scott-Heron said that his basslines "glowed in the dark." Trumpeter Miles Davis proclaimed him the "anchor" of his groundbreaking quintet of the 1960s. And he literally laid down the groove for the Tribe Called Quest's hip-hop classic, "The Low End Theory."
From 1960 to 2009, whether the music is rock, pop, bop, post-bop, fusion or third stream, you will find one constant presence. A tall, quiet black man, whose bone-thick basslines have provided the foundation for modern music. Whether it was with reed player Eric Dolphy, or as the chief bassist for Creed Taylor's pop-friendly CTI label, Ron Carter is easily the most ubiquitous jazz musician of the last half century, with over 1,000 recordings as a leader and sideman to his credit.
But as influential as he is, he is also an enigma. Read the fascinating and complex story of his life in this excellent biography. Ouellette is to be commended for finally documenting the gargantuan contributions of this gentle giant.
