Ron Carter live in New York

Experience Ron Carter live on October 16th

Ron Carter will be performing at Birdland Jazz Club in New York City on October 16, 2026. Carter is a highly influential jazz bassist renowned for his lyrical and harmonically sophisticated approach. His playing is characterized by a distinctive tone, melodic improvisation, and a strong rhythmic foundation – elements developed through decades of performing across various jazz styles, including hard bop, post-bop, and fusion. He’s celebrated for his extensive discography as both a sideman – appearing on landmark recordings with Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Herbie Hancock among others – and as a leader of his own ensembles.

Birdland Jazz Club holds significant historical importance within the jazz world. Originally opening in 1949, it quickly became a premier venue for leading jazz musicians and a cultural hub. It hosted performances by Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, and many others during its initial run, becoming synonymous with the “Golden Age of Jazz.” After closing in 1965, the club was revived in 1986 and continues to operate today as a respected performance space dedicated to preserving and promoting jazz music.
