Ron Carter will be performing at Birdland Jazz Club in New York City on October 29, 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 incorporates a distinctive warm tone and rhythmic precision. Throughout a career spanning over six decades, he has been a prominent figure in both the avant-garde and more mainstream jazz scenes, working extensively as a sideman with artists like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock and many others, as well as leading his own ensembles.

Birdland Jazz Club holds a significant place in jazz history. Originally opening in 1949, it quickly became one of the most important and popular jazz venues in the world during the bebop era. It hosted legendary performers such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and Count Basie. The original club closed in 1965 but was revived in 1986 in a new location nearby.
