Ron Carter live in New York

Experience Ron Carter live on October 30th

Ron Carter will be performing at Birdland Jazz Club in New York City on October 30, 2026. Carter is a highly influential bassist renowned for his work across multiple jazz styles, including hard bop, modal jazz, and post-bop. His playing is characterized by a lyrical melodicism, rhythmic precision, and a distinctive warm tone. He’s celebrated for his extensive discography as both a sideman – appearing on landmark recordings with artists like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Herbie Hancock – and as a leader of his own ensembles, exploring both acoustic and electric bass traditions.

Birdland Jazz Club holds a significant place in jazz history. Originally opening in 1949, the club quickly became a central hub for leading jazz musicians and a popular performance venue during the bebop era. It hosted legendary figures such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Count Basie. Facing closure in 1965, it was revived in 1986 and continues to operate as a premier jazz club in Manhattan’s Theater District. The current location maintains the legacy of its predecessor by presenting established and emerging jazz talent to audiences worldwide.
