Double Bass Ron Carter

Note choice, placement, rhythm, concept and taste all in one place.
He defined almost anything he put his fingertips to.
Dave is also a supreme master of music, just gifted in different ways. Still, why compare the two?
Let them both express their beliefs without judging them.
Anyone who attains that level of musical insight by necessity has very high standards; probably higher for themselves than for others.
BTW, Ron gave me a set of his strings once, NIB, and that's where they will stay...
