  • I got to see Ron Carter at The Blue Note in New York city in early to mid 80s. I was enthralled; he was awsome

  • The description for this video should read: Lewis Nash on drums.

  • Gr8 post...class band.....thanx

  • Stephen Scott is the unsung genius of today's piano world. Get his alb. w/ Ron Carter called Aminah's Dream. Or Rennaisance.

  • ah! i love that he has his eyes closed, totally in the zone, and just casually reaches up to tune a string without interrupting the melody, his zen state, or his blissful expression.

    this man is HOT! in every sense.

  • Smooth.

  • Actually, what he's playing isn't a piccolo bass. A piccolo bass is just the same as a regular bass except tuned up an octave, which would still be EADG. He's playing a tenor bass, tuned ADGC. So it's just like a regular bass, except with no Low E and a High C added.

  • Re: Muenchies: What you have described is the way Stanley Clarke names his electric basses (octave up is piccolo, fourth up is tenor), and this is accepted terminology for electric basses. However, Ron Carter has always used the term "piccolo bass" to refer to the instrument he's playing here, which is an acoustic bass tuned up a fourth, ADGC. Buster Williams uses the same term for the same instrument as well.

  • pretty sure you spell waltz with a z.

  • @jmanrock Perhaps cminor7add9th, for some undeclared reason, is referring to multiple Walters, small in stature...

  • and Piccolo, lol oops >.>

  • Im not surprised after all these years his ingenuity and originality hasnt weathered what so ever, hoping ill be able to see him atleast once in my life, long live Contrabass :)

  • The great Ron Carter at his mellow best. Finally I get to see my cousin Stephen Scott on piano OMG you are a star.

  • thats my cousin Steve!! he rocks!

  • wel, i saw your cousin in athens on january and he rocked.

  • this is a great groove, nice and laid back. good post.
