Ron Carter Big Band September 1, 2012

In 2010, veteran bassist Ron Carter led a rare big band recording session in New York that was released March 2011 in Japan. The thirteen tracks on Ron Carter's 'Great Big Band' include several fine Carter originals that stood sturdily beside fresh new interpretations of 'Con Alma,' 'Line For Lyons' and 'Footprints.' In the liner notes, Dan Ouellette quoted Ron ruminating about a live performance with the group expressing: "If we could play this live, the music would become even better. If we had a week to work on this material in front of an audience, it would be different every night. That would be something." Well, this week Ron Carter's Great Big Band brings this stirring program to life.
