I'm not a bassist, but I could listen to Ron Carter play by himself and never get tired of listening. He and Jaco Pastorius are the only ones I can listen to like that.
Good advice is the best thing a musician can get, like good nutrition and exercise. I hope you always remember that your advice really means a great deal. Thank you for that service.
Amazing !!! "The first step is to play good quarter notes." "I hate the word difficult because everything in making baseline is basically difficult." "The two key elements to make your against-the-beat things work better: One, you must continue to hear this click without this banging in your ear from someone in the band, if not your drummer's high hat or just the ride cymbal or just your inherent determination that I hear this beat." "You must trust your sense of where the beat really is as well as understanding the level of the band's rhythmic curiosity." "You can't be afraid to try it. Otherwise, you'll never know if it works."
Ron carter talking about making the quarter notes jump around....i swear i've stolen every line he plays on the "Speak Like a Child" cut of the sorcerer. Best bass I've ever heard.
There is a difference in groove from swing to bebop to modal to hard bop. I wondered if this masterclass includes his take on "groove for the new century" like R&B, nu jazz, Hip Hop kind of style?
If you give me specific examples of the genres you describe, I can best answer your question. Not sure what exactly you mean by "groove for the new century"
@@RonCarterBassist I gave a bit of thought on rephrasing the question, then I realize it is a matter to jazz fusion to other genres. So one learns how to make the changes in the swing, bebop, modal jazz idiom original to jazz, then there is latin jazz which is different kind of groove, funk jazz from Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters, Max Roach's playing with Fab 5 Freddy, A Tribe called West. These new styles are essentially fusion in one form or another. So I would like to ask: How would you approach jazz fusion in different or new style, say in terms of R&B, soul, latin, or even hip-hop or electronic kind of context?

Ron Carter is more than a bassist, his playing is an Experience
Thank you for these kind words :)
Exactly what I was going to say. The Ron Carter Experience.
Sage advice as always Maestro Carter...
I appreciate that :)
