JIMMY’S JAZZ & BLUES CLUB CELEBRATES THEIR 1-YEAR ANNIVERSAY – JAZZ SHOW!!
“Ron Carter is one of the most prolific and influential bassists in jazz history.”
— NPR MUSIC
3x-GRAMMY® Award Winner & 5x-GRAMMY® Award Nominated World-Renowned Double Bassist RON CARTER is among the most original, prolific, and influential bassists in jazz. Carter has appeared on 2,250 recording sessions – making him the second most-recorded jazz bassist in history.
Carter was a member of the second Miles Davis Quintet in the mid 1960s, which also included Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and drummer Tony Williams. And while the six studio recordings that they made over the span of four years — 1965’s ‘E.S.P.’ (which featured three Carter compositions), 1967’s ‘Miles Smiles’ and ‘Sorcerer’ and 1968’s ‘Nefertiti’, ‘Miles In The Sky’ and ‘Filles de Kilimanjaro’ — are part of jazz legend, the gestalt group took things to a whole other level in concert. Carter also performed on some of Hancock, Williams and Shorter’s recordings during the 1960s for Blue Note.
Carter has collaborated with an array of artists ranging from Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack, Diana Ross, Bette Midler, Phoebe Snow, The Rascals, Gil Scott-Heron (“The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”) and Santana on the pop side – to Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans, Chet Baker, Stan Getz, Kenny Dorham, Lee Morgan, Coleman Hawkins, Cannonball Adderley, Kenny Burrell, Milt Jackson, Eddie Harris, Charles Lloyd, Wayne Shorter, Sonny Rollins and countless others on the jazz side. Carter even performed on the seminal hip-hop album ‘Low End Theory’ with a Tribe Called Quest!
In 2021, the Japanese government awarded him “The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette” for his contributions to Japan-US relations in the field of music. Carter was honored by the French Minister of Culture with France’s premier cultural award, the medallion and title of “Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters”, given to those who have distinguished themselves in the domain of artistic or literary creation and for their contribution to the spread of arts and letters in France and the world.
Carter was named “Outstanding Bassist of the Decade” by the Detroit News; “Jazz Bassist of the Year” by Downbeat Magazine; “Most Valuable Player” by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences; and received the Jazz Journalist Association “Lifetime Achievement Award” in 2021.
In 1986, Carter won his first GRAMMY® Award for “Call Sheet Blues”, an instrumental composition from the film, Round Midnight. In 1993, Carter earned another GRAMMY® Award for “Best Jazz Instrumental Group”, as part of the Miles Davis Tribute Band. In 2022, he won his third GRAMMY® Award for the album ‘Skyline’ for “Best Jazz Instrumental Album” with the Skyline Trio.
