Thanks, Joe, for the info on RC at Eastman. Ron was my main influence in picking up the acoustic bass 25 or so years ago, and is my mainstay these days. What a brilliant performer and career to match. Mr. Carter was originally a cello player intending to play in orchestra, but could not break the color barrier in those days, and went into jazz bass playing instead. I can't imagine what it would have been like not to have him there to listen to on those many recordings.
