New Orleans ¨C ¡°I think people still want to hear the old man playing on an antique,¡± says Ron Carter. ¡°And as long as they want that idea, I¡¯m kind of available.¡±
Carter, 82, is one of jazz¡¯s most prolific figures. In addition to recording dozens of albums as a band leader, he has worked with most of the genre¡¯s big names, including Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock and Milt Jackson.
In 2015, Guinness World Records handed him the title of ¡°Most recorded jazz bassist¡± for more than 2,200 individual recording credits. And that number has continued to grow in the years since.
