Ron Carter - Studio Sessions Conversations

Meet Ron Carter. He is among the most original and influential bassists in jazz. He is a performer, band leader, author, and educator with a prolific record of performing with some of the greats like Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Eric Dolphy, Cannonball Adderley, Dexter Gordon, Wes Montgomery, and so many more. He has recorded over 2,200 albums and has a Guinness world record to prove it!

Mr. Carter is releasing a brand new album, Sweet, Sweet Spirit, which fuses jazz and gospel music. The creation of Sweet, Sweet Spirit is deeply important to Mr. Carter as it is a tribute to his mother, Willie May, and is in many ways a lifetime in the making. The hymns on this album have an independent and deep history for the gospel community, in addition to having been integrated weekly into the life and musical development of the Carter family in the intimate Detroit church community they attended. A church which depended solely on the voices of the parishioners as instruments. Pre-sales begin December 5.
