Ron Carter is a legend! He played with Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock in the 60s, these are the two I know best, but the list of collaborators goes on! Ron Carter is old, very old.
This video is from 1967:
When we got to Blue Note in Greenwich Village I noticed the sign on the building, it said "Jazz Capital of the World", later I came to understand why.
At this night's concert Ron Carter played with pianist Renee Rosnes, Payton Crossley on drums and Rolando Morales-Matos on percussion.
When I got home I was overwhelmed with joy, what an amazing night!
About the Blue Note:
"Since its inception in 1981, Blue Note has become one of the premier jazz clubs in the world and a cultural institution in Greenwich Village. Owner and founder Danny Bensusan had a vision to create a jazz club in Greenwich Village that would treat deserving artists with respect, while allowing patrons to see the world's finest jazz musicians in a close, comfortable setting. (...) Jazz is undoubtedly America's music, and while Blue Note strives to preserve the history of jazz, the club is a place where progression and innovation - the foundations of jazz - are encouraged and practiced on a nightly basis. (...) Blue Note gives artists the musical freedom they deserve, and jazz fans get a chance to see the most unlikely combination of stars night after night on the Blue Note stage.
After twenty-five years of success, Blue Note continues to carry the torch for jazz into the 21st century in the cultural heart of New York, Greenwich Village.
