For a lark--brings me back to my days of watching Art Tatum vidyas on the VHS

[Chankgeez]

Art Tatum used a Generation Loss?

Calypso! Love dem lyrics

I have been meaning to post something from Harold Vick's Caribbean Suite album, which has a (de-calyps'd) version of Jamaica Farewell...but I think the better move at this point is to post Vick's version of Parker's Barbados with some sweet percussion and seasoning by Bobby Hutcherson:

Guys, seriously, as a Jazz neophyte, thanks.
Diggin' those mambo-ish rhythms.

[Zounds Perspex]

this popped up in my memories today, and I instantly thought of this thread.

Among other things, this is easily my favorite Ron Carter ever:



Alice Coltrane--Turiya and Ramakrishna

[Dandolin]

The Jaki Byard Experience!

Andrew Hill

That's a good one. Ron Carter was kinda...good.



from Ron Carter Quartet--Piccolo

also...Jaki!



Jaki Byard--Blues for Smoke

[Dandolin]

youtube handed me some more Ron--loved watching his face on this one:


Ron Carter Quartet--Dear Miles

[Chankgeez]

Well, Ron Carter's probably the most recorded jazz bassist.

Not that this guy's under-recorded, but maybe in comparison?

[Dandolin]

Yeah, I dig Ron, but he's no Richard Davis, who gets 1,000,000 from me forever....



Eric Dolphy--Iron Man, featuring the inimitable Richard Davis

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, that's an outstanding one (& on that Jaki Byard record above too)!

I just Googled "most recorded jazz bassist" and dude in the comments posits that Ron Carter is not the most recorded jazz bassist.

He claims it's Ray Brown. With Milt Hinton right up there too.
