Ron Carter - Songs For You
Review by Ruth Deakin Crick
Ron Carter's album "Songs For You" is a masterful display of the legendary jazz bassist's virtuosity and creativity. With a tracklist that includes both original compositions and classic standards, the album showcases Carter's ability to weave intricate melodies and rhythms with effortless grace.
From the swinging opener "Blues for D.P." to the contemplative "My Funny Valentine," Carter's bass lines are the backbone of each track, providing a solid foundation for the other musicians to build upon. His solos, meanwhile, are a thing of beauty, showcasing his technical prowess and melodic sensibility.
The other musicians on the album – including pianist Donald Vega, guitarist Russell Malone, and drummer Payton Crossley – are all top-notch, and their contributions add depth and texture to the music. But it's Carter who steals the show, with his impeccable musicianship and undeniable charisma.
