Loyola University Forum with Legendary Jazz Bassist Ron Carter
Ron Carter
A legendary player with one of the most recognizable tones in all of jazz, bassist Ron Carter has appeared on literally thousands of recordings over the course of his nearly fifty-year career. Aside from his distinguished career leading his own units, he has played with a who’s who of jazz players of the last half-century, and established himself as one of the genre’s all-time greats.
Legendary jazz bassist Ron Carter sits down with two students at Loyola University, New Orleans, for a frank discussion of his career in jazz, the challenges of making it in the jazz industry of today, and the miracle that is having the sound that one makes with their fingers resemble the sound that comes out of the speakers in someone’s home.
