Biography


Carter was born in Ferndale, Michigan|Ferndale , Michigan . He started to play cello at the age of 10, but when his family moved to Detroit, he ran into difficulties regarding the racial stereotype|stereotyping of classical musicians and instead moved to bass. He attended the historic Cass Technical High School in Detroit, and, later, the Eastman School of Music , where he played in its Philharmonic Orchestra. He gained his bachelor's degree at Eastman in 1959, and in 1961 a master's degree in double bass performance from the Manhattan School of Music .

His first jobs as a jazz musician were with Jaki Byard and Chico Hamilton . His first records were made with Eric Dolphy (another former member of Hamilton's group) and Don Ellis , in 1960. His own first date as leader, Where? , with Dolphy and Mal Waldron and a date also with Dolphy called Out There with George Duvivier and Roy Haynes and Carter on cello; its advanced harmonies and concepts were in step with the third stream movement.

Carter came to fame via the second great Miles Davis quintet in the early 1960s, which also included Herbie Hancock , Wayne Shorter and Tony Williams (drummer)|Tony Williams . Carter joined Davis's group in 1963, appearing on the album Seven Steps to Heaven (album)|Seven Steps to Heaven and the follow-up E.S.P. (Miles Davis album)|E.S.P. , the latter being the first album to feature only the full quintet. It also featured three of Carter's compositions (the only time he contributed compositions to Davis's group). He stayed with Davis until 1968 (when he was replaced by Dave Holland ), and participated in a couple of studio sessions with Davis in 1969 and 1970. Although he played electric bass occasionally during this period, he has subsequently eschewed that instrument entirely, and now plays only acoustic bass. Carter was close to Davis and even revealed to an interviewer in 1966 that the famous trumpeter's favorite color was fuchsia. http://danouellette.artistshare.com/default.aspx

Carter also performed on some of Hancock, Williams and Shorter's recordings during the sixties for Blue Note Records . He was a sideman on many Blue Note recordings of the era, playing with Sam Rivers , Freddie Hubbard , Duke Pearson , Lee Morgan , McCoy Tyner , Andrew Hill , Horace Silver and others.

After leaving Davis, Carter was for several years a mainstay of CTI Records , making albums under his own name and also appearing on many of the label's records with a diverse range of other musicians. Notable musical partnerships in the 70's and 80's included Joe Henderson , Houston Person , Hank Jones , and Cedar Walton . During the 1970s he was a member of the New York Jazz Quartet .

He appears on the alternative hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest 's influential album The Low End Theory on a track called "Verses from the Abstract". He also appears as a member of the jazz combo the Classical Jazz Quartet .

In 1994, Carter appeared on the Red Hot Organization 's compilation album, Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool . The album, meant to raise awareness and funds in support of the AIDS epidemic in relation to the African American community, was heralded as "Album of the Year" by Time Magazine . In 2001, Carter collaborated with Black Star (group)|Black Star and John Patton (musician)|John Patton to record "Money Jungle" for the Red Hot Organization 's compilation album, Red Hot + Indigo , a tribute to Duke Ellington .

Carter was Distinguished Professor Emeritus of the Music Department of The City College of New York , having taught there for twenty years, http://www.roncarter.net Ron Carter Official Website and received an honorary Doctorate from the Berklee College of Music, in Spring 2005 http://www.berklee.edu/about/honorary.html.
