But ne­ vertheless at this point in space and time Ron Carter, Joe Henderson, and yes Darwin even Billy Cobham, are the best at what they do. I know by now by close music consultant Gary Gordon is having a fit, because just the other day we decided that Ron and Billy got too much play while other brothers are gettin’ down and starving. But Gary hear me out (the rest of y’all can read on also, it’s not all that personal-). Ron is the best bassit hands down.

CTI records gives Ton a great deal of play. . . infact too much Yet still if you check* for Milestones Columbia, Cobblestone , Muse, or any other labels noted for jazz you’ll find I hope that Ron gets around, and if the other musicians chose him over other bassists then who are we to say that he isn’t at least in the top one list? Ron’s dexterity is as good as Stans’, and Cecil’s, plus his range and creativity are beyond that of Richard. Ron rarely plays in repition (er. . .ad. . .i hate to insult y’alls intelligence) he does not repeat himself in any given session to any obvious degree. Though Ron possibly does possess portions of some of the older players I have mentioned, he still maintains his own distinct form and this truly makes him a genius/ master. This coupled with Ron’s completeness, and ver­ satility...... OH DAMNIT!!!!!!!JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT !!!!!!
