Ron Carter in concert

Live music from bass legend Ron Carter and his Foursight Quartet. Plus, UK bassist Alison Rayner shares music that inspires her.

Julian Joseph presents a concert from bass legend Ron Carter and his Foursight Quartet. Carter is one of the most prolific bassists in jazz history. He has appeared on over 2000 sessions and worked with a who’s who of jazz, though he is probably best known as a member of the Miles Davis Quintet in the mid-1960s when he recorded the albums Seven Steps to Heaven and E.S.P. Here he offers creative takes on some classic standards with his energetic Foursight Quartet, featuring Jimmy Greene on saxophone, Donald Vega on piano and Payton Crossley on drums.

Also in the programme, Alison Rayner shares some of her musical inspirations. Rayner has been a pivotal figure in UK jazz since the 1970s, both as a bassist and the founder or artist-led promoter Blow the Fuse.

Produced by Dominic Tyerman for Somethin’ Else.
