- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Nikki Birch | May 4, 2022
The velvety sapphire of what may be the most recognizable curtains in jazz are the backdrop for this special Tiny Desk (home) concert. Dapper and distinguished in matching ties, legendary bassist Ron Carter and the members of his trio sit comfortably on the prestigious stage of The Blue Note in Manhattan. This is jazz with a capital J, complete with cocktails and "Candlelight." The first tune in this set romances us, inviting deep sighs as the lushness of the trio's intricate interplay carries us away to moments spent gazing deeply into the eyes of a lover.
Ron Carter's career spans 60 years. It includes playing with the greatest of the greats in jazz, plus film scoring, teaching, writing and numerous awards, from Grammys to a Guinness World Record as the most-recorded bassist in history. After the first song of this set ends, the soft-spoken maestro in pinstripes gives a simple introduction; then, we are treated to a taste of his mastery with a solo bass performance entitled "Blues for Tiny Desk."
Russell Malone and Donald Vega again join Carter for the final song, "Eddie's Theme." The way they share sonic space is truly a testament to the sense of community that jazz fosters. We see how they exchange glances, looking and listening as they give space and support each other musically, celebrating free expression. We are honored and delighted to join in the celebration as we wish this jazz luminary a very happy 85th birthday today. May the 4th be with you.

Ron is a national treasure. In fact he’s a treasure for all humanity.
Thank you. - Ron Carter
@@RonCarterBassist indeed. he is the best ever
@@jerryrobbins5013 You're making me blush!
Listening to Ron being played on the radio tonight here in Ireland. “Let me give you a hand”. Haven’t had goosebumps like this in quite some time. Have been too ready to fight, too ready to be sick, too ready and not really ready enough.
👊💪❤️💯
Ron Carter is without a doubt the greatest bass player jazz has ever known, with his unparalleled gift for creating bass lines.
Well that's debatable. I'm a huge fan of his, but Charles Mingus and Paul Chambers easily rank alongside him.
He just goes to a totally different dimension when he's playing. You can see it on his face

Omg. A Giant behind a Tiny Desk. It's an honor just hear it
Happy Birthday Maestro!
Ron Carter (b. May 4, 1937)
The audio mastering is incredible. 3 legends. Music for the soul, the life, the dreams.
Thank you.
"Thanks a lot, Ron Carter on the bass
Yes, my man Ron Carter is on the bass"
Thank u for inspiring some of the best music ever made, Mr Carter.
Ron Carter is the thesis of a Low End Theory 😉
@@lilkujo That's where I learned of him...Verses From The Abstract.
This man has appeared on more than 2000 recordings!
Ron Carter still looking and sounding like he is in his prime. A living legend!
Thanks so much for your love and support from onset, it's a thing of joy that am blessed with the best fans, thank you so much, I do appreciate you and everyone out there
Yay :) Thank You Mr Ron Carter, Mr Malone, Mr Vega and NPR for this little treasure!
Majestic playing from everyone here! Man I was super excited when I got this notification
We aim to please.
an actual living legend
Yes!!!! The god father of the low still got it. Told an upright bluegrass bass player a couple of months ago he needed to check Mr. Carter out and so happy to see him on this show.
Priveleged to see/hear Golden Strike last night in Denver.
Love Ron's socks in this one..... Great stuff., Thanks
You can make whole hip-hop album from these 9 minutes. Long Live Ron Carter, thanks & much respect.
The way they communicate through head nods 👌🏿
Happy Birthday Ron Carter!
Ron Carter is on the bass, yes my man Ron Carter is on the bass.
Saw him play at Birdland last Fall.He puts his whole body & soul into every note.He becomes the instrument.Magical.
It's so good to see Ron Carter in such good form when I wasn't even aware the man still lived! I can recall nearly 50 years ago being coached by a guitarist friend on some Ron Carter patterns for bass.
I mean, I know that Blue Note is the home of Jazz, but I would never guess that it was also Ron's home 😲🥺🥰
“Ron Cater is in the house” - Q-Tip/ATCQ
Well I have no words. ❤❤❤❤❤
2022... Ron Carter... it's like listening to GOLD made music!!!...
Once NPR is able to start receiving guests again, I would LOVE to hear the results of these cats playing while Obi Wan Rogosin works his engineering magic...them licks would come right out and TOUCH you!!!
Just lived this in person! Ron, Donald, and Russell were in Oakland, Florida last night. An amazing performance, with a tribute to the late Pharoah Sanders.
As a musician I can only hope I'll one day be just as much 'in the moment' as Ron Carter seems to be while playing. beautiful!
Wow. I saw Ron Carter play at the Village Vanguard in the early 90s. Didn't realize he was still at it and looks and sounds amazing!
Long live Mr. Carter and friends! The best!
A Legend!!!
So much in this short concert reflects Maestro Carter’s long and successful career. From his unmistakable sound, to his clever wit and his humble leadership characterised by listening to others to best serve the music. Ron Carter is a blessing and inspiration to the generations of musicians who follow - jazz or otherwise. Happy 85th Birthday Maestro!

Mr. Carter has noodled around with the best of them.
Incredible to find this on CZcams : I have seen the same set with mr Carter, Vega and Malone a number of years ago on the occasion of Ron’s birthday ag the Blue Note. After the concert I was allowed a few minutes private conversation with mr Carter in his dressing room. I have a beautiful photo of that moment that I’d love to share with him
Formidable!!!
He is master Yoda of the bass. Hug from Argentina
