Ron Carter live in New York

Experience Ron Carter live on October 31st

Ron Carter will be performing at Birdland Jazz Club in New York City on October 31, 2026. Carter is a highly influential bassist renowned for his work spanning post-bop, hard bop, and jazz fusion. His playing is characterized by melodic improvisation, a rich tone, and a distinctive harmonic approach – often employing walking basslines but also venturing into more exploratory and rhythmic territories. He has been a significant figure in jazz since the 1960s, notably performing with Miles Davis’s second great quintet alongside Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, and maintaining a prolific career as a bandleader and sideman.

Birdland Jazz Club holds a significant place in jazz history. Originally opening in 1949, it quickly became one of the most important venues in New York City for both performers and audiences. Many legendary jazz musicians, including Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Count Basie graced its stage during its initial run which closed in 1965. The club was later revived in 1986 and continues to operate as a premier jazz club, hosting both established artists and emerging talent.
