Ron Carter - Complete Interview with Leland Sklar -

[@ivofechner8039]

We are so blessed - how invaluable it is to be able to listen to Ron Carter and Lee Sklar just talking about music for an hour.

[@GudmundurKristjansson]

Yes, that's true, but didn't you hear what they said what they generally wanted not to talk about? (LoL) yes it was Music

[@johncopeland3826]

No people on god's earth should be allowed to be as nice and as talented as Mr Ron Carter,and Mr Leland Sklar are! When the good lord was giving out his gifts, both of these gentlemen were almost at the front of the line,no question about it! Absolutely brilliant,genuine Human beings. What a joy!

[@RonCarterBassist]

Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Copeland. I'm glad you enjoyed this conversation with Mr. Sklar.

[@louislavigna8116]

and in front of them on that line is Mr.Nathan East

[@michaelvaladez6570]

What a moment to cherish the two most wanted session bass players in all time.Thank you for this post.

So, of course I've heard Leland Sklar play with James Taylor, Crosby and Nash, Jackson Browne, etc. In fact, that rhythm section defined the sound on many of the albums of at least the 70's. When I saw pictures of him for the first time, what with the ZZ-Top beard, I was expecting something different--maybe a unabomber who could really play. So, it was great to hear such thoughtfulness. In fact, it seems that Ron Carter may pick friends based on something like empathetic intelligence.

Mind. Blown.

[@luvbasses5487]

Thanks Ron. Nice conversation to tune into. Thanks again.

[@RonCarterBassist]

Thank you for listening!

[@luvbasses5487]

Of course...

This interview is timeless. I am literally up at 3 am on a Sunday watching this. Not the least bit ironic that it would be on a day in which most would be given thanks and reverence to the one most high. Ron Carter has influenced me in such a short time, not only as a fan of his music but as a man that I strive to emulate

[@davidmarsalis1522]

That’s as good as it gets . And both beautiful spirts great souls. That was amazing.

[@tkalward4196]

Wow, I'm very happy to finally wake up as a musician after 40 years. I love these guys. What a gift to music these people are. And what an inspiration.

[@thecollective1584]

I didn't know much about Mr. Carter; however, you can count that I go look after this interview

[@larharper7087]

Love it!! These two Great Gentlemen inspire so many young musicians, Bassist 👏👏👌🙏🎶🎶

[@ValdrthePraxama]

2 legends and monster of bass

[@GudmundurKristjansson]

Well well that was like watching the film "Officer and a Gentlemen" 2 awesome musicians who respect each other enormously. Thank you mr. Carter for bringing my friend Leland on your show. But he like he said he has an awesome KZbin channel that I have been following almost since he started.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

Great conversation between two very different kind of bass players.

[@jamesmichaelfrank]

I can listen to you two gentlemen talk about anything and everything endlessly . Enjoyed this 🙂

[@RonCarterBassist]

I'm glad you enjoyed :)

[@henrywasserman]

Thank-you Ron Carter. To imagine that these two rarified and fine artists of the Bass met on Spectrum and found the common ground to chat for 1 hour on you-tube. 27 Comments ha ha ha ha. I love life and how it imitates art.

[@dereckvon]

Invaluable conversation.

[@fidfdez6191]

Master’s Talk!!! Thanks for such a gift!!! My respect/admiration to both as musicians a persons!!!

What a pair, love you both so much!

[@wademiyataki9221]

Loved listening to you and Lee! Thank you for posting this!

[@peterpedersen1641]

Hey Lee and Ron, it's a year since you made this video. Just found it. Always nice to see two of my favorite musicians chatting it up. I've seen Lee play numerous times over the decades. And Ron, we have chatted quite a bit on FB and I also live near you in Greenwich Village. My friends were playing at Birdland and you were upstairs. We had to leave so we couldn't get to meet. You were chatting with Michele and Matt. You know who I'm speaking of. We will catch up sometime soon. Love the music guys. Keep it happening.

[@RonCarterBassist]

Thank you, Mr. Pedersen :) Be well.

[@Joesfosterdogs]

Ron is so deep, insighful questions...

[@olivierherment1188]

Thank You

[@jamesviola79]

It's funny that Sklar mentions where he lives. In October I visited the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and afterwards ran into him taking out his trash.

[@bobbybrooks4826]

Ron carter....no bass player ever LIVED with a More extensive jazz reciording history

[@kevintempleton6319]

Wonderfully informative!

[@wayneburba9457]

This sounds like a good afternoon show. Sit down talks with Leland and quests!

[@raymondkarlsson9794]

Total sympathy!

[@jacko222333]

Bass giants summit. Wow!

[@Stewkeithmtb]

Beautiful. Great to hang out with you guys. And yes, the cello!

[@benaiah1960]

I am ... speechless

[@lastnamefirst4035]

To learn 30 new songs. Id no idea. Alot of work indeed

[@linkedup7346]

my question or comment is based around having music stands and music. So true what Leland says how you look like a hired hand instead of part of the band with music in front of you. I think being a vegetarian and never taking drugs or alcohol adds to a wonderful memory. It seems like your mind can play games on you, if you feel like you won't remember something, you are almost guaranteed to forget your own name. Do you have a specific method of remembering ?

[@RonCarterBassist]

No specific method; if I play something enough times, I just know it in my bones.

[@hank1519]

Amazing interview! Thank you so much!

[@acj2789]

Interesting that the speakers get irritated when people they meet want to talk to them about music. They demonstrate so clearly why people would want to talk to them about music!

[@inflatedear7131]

Two of the best!👍
