Ron Carter live in New York

Experience Ron Carter live on October 7th

Bassist Ron Carter performs at Birdland Jazz Club in New York City. A central figure in jazz history, Carter is recognized as one of the most recorded bassists in the genre. He gained significant prominence as a member of the Miles Davis Second Great Quintet in the 1960s and has since maintained a prolific career as a bandleader, composer, and collaborator across post-bop and avant-garde styles. His contributions to the development of the jazz bass are marked by a technical precision and harmonic sophistication that have earned him multiple Grammy Awards.

The performance takes place at Birdland, a venue named in honor of Charlie Parker. The original Birdland opened in 1949 on 52nd Street and served as a premier destination for the bebop era, hosting many of the most influential musicians of the mid-century. The current iteration of the club continues this legacy, operating as a cornerstone of the New York jazz scene by providing a space for both established masters and emerging artists to perform in an intimate setting.
