Ron Carter Bass Method Pdf 15
"We jazz bassists all have the same notes. The difference is in our finding different and new places to play them on the instrument. This is what makes our own sound unique to us" - Ron Carter
"We are fortunate, as students, (and we are ALL Ron Carter students) that Sansei has codified his approaches to bass playing into concise and practical methods. Many decades of teaching at the highest level, at schools like Juilliard and Manhattan School of Music, and clinics and masterclasses at virtually every top conservatory in the world, insures his position at the top of the Jazz Bass Totem Pole, and the Bass Education Totem Pole!"
RON CARTER, JAZZ INNOVATOR: A revealing conversation with celebrated bassist and cellist Ron Carter, whose smart, elegant, and funky bass lines helped anchor the worlds of jazz, R&B, and rock. Noted music journalist and author Ashley Kahn, will include musical and video selections as Carter discusses a long and versatile career, which includes performing with Miles Davis; triumphs as a bandleader, and his most recent recording project, The Great Big Band.

Recent commentators have been more positive overall. Stanley Crouch wrote: "the music still sounds fresh. The trumpeter was in superb form, able to execute quickstep swing at fleet tempi with volatile penetration, to put the weight of his sound on mood pieces, to rear his way up through the blues with a fusion of bittersweet joy and what Martin Williams termed 'communal anguish.' The rhythm section played with a looseness that pivots off Williams's cymbal splashes and unclinched rhythms, Carter walking some of the most impressive bass lines of the day, and Hancock developing his own version of the impressionism that Evans was making popular."[15] Davis biographer John Szwed wrote: "The mixture of the abstract and the earthy that Davis had so often seemed to be reaching for began to take shape with this record. Wayne Shorter's ease with indeterminate melodies and his eagerness to join the rhythm section in churning up the music to the point that it threatened to break loose from the traditions of jazz gave Davis the space he needed to reexamine his own playing."[7]
Brian Morton noted: "E.S.P. is... the first record on which Miles seems to be flirting with rock. 'Eighty-One' has a strong backbeat, and the kind of regular, repetitive bass line and percussion that was characteristic of funk, and still considered somewhat infra dig in jazz. Any suggestion that Miles only began to explore a rock idiom on 1969's Bitches Brew misses the mark by a good four years."[8] 2ff7e9595c
