Experience Ron Carter live on October 22nd

Ron Carter will be performing at Birdland Jazz Club in New York City on October 22, 2026. Carter is a highly influential jazz bassist, renowned for his lyrical and harmonically sophisticated playing. His style blends elements of post-bop, modal jazz, and a distinctive walking bassline technique developed over decades of performance. He’s recognized for both his extensive sideman work with artists like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Herbie Hancock, and his prolific output as a bandleader spanning over fifty albums.

Birdland Jazz Club holds a significant place in jazz history. Originally opening in 1949, it quickly became a premier venue for leading jazz musicians of the bebop era and beyond. Frequently featured on live recordings and broadcasts, it hosted legendary performances by Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Count Basie amongst others. The original club closed in 1965 but was revived in 1986 at a new location on West 44th Street in Manhattan where it continues to operate as a vital New York City jazz institution. The current Birdland maintains its reputation for presenting both established artists and emerging talent within an intimate setting dedicated to live jazz music.
