- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Nikki Birch | May 4, 2022
The velvety sapphire of what may be the most recognizable curtains in jazz are the backdrop for this special Tiny Desk (home) concert. Dapper and distinguished in matching ties, legendary bassist Ron Carter and the members of his trio sit comfortably on the prestigious stage of The Blue Note in Manhattan. This is jazz with a capital J, complete with cocktails and "Candlelight." The first tune in this set romances us, inviting deep sighs as the lushness of the trio's intricate interplay carries us away to moments spent gazing deeply into the eyes of a lover.
Ron Carter's career spans 60 years. It includes playing with the greatest of the greats in jazz, plus film scoring, teaching, writing and numerous awards, from Grammys to a Guinness World Record as the most-recorded bassist in history. After the first song of this set ends, the soft-spoken maestro in pinstripes gives a simple introduction; then, we are treated to a taste of his mastery with a solo bass performance entitled "Blues for Tiny Desk."
Russell Malone and Donald Vega again join Carter for the final song, "Eddie's Theme." The way they share sonic space is truly a testament to the sense of community that jazz fosters. We see how they exchange glances, looking and listening as they give space and support each other musically, celebrating free expression. We are honored and delighted to join in the celebration as we wish this jazz luminary a very happy 85th birthday today. May the 4th be with you.

Ron is a national treasure. In fact he’s a treasure for all humanity.
Thank you. - Ron Carter
@@RonCarterBassist indeed. he is the best ever
@@jerryrobbins5013 You're making me blush!
Listening to Ron being played on the radio tonight here in Ireland. “Let me give you a hand”. Haven’t had goosebumps like this in quite some time. Have been too ready to fight, too ready to be sick, too ready and not really ready enough.
👊💪❤️💯
Ron Carter is without a doubt the greatest bass player jazz has ever known, with his unparalleled gift for creating bass lines.
Well that's debatable. I'm a huge fan of his, but Charles Mingus and Paul Chambers easily rank alongside him.
Close but no cigar @@duhusker4383
Priveleged to see/hear Golden Strike last night in Denver.
Love Ron's socks in this one..... Great stuff., Thanks
He just goes to a totally different dimension when he's playing. You can see it on his face
Happy Birthday Maestro!
Ron Carter (b. May 4, 1937)
Omg. A Giant behind a Tiny Desk. It's an honor just hear it
Yay :) Thank You Mr Ron Carter, Mr Malone, Mr Vega and NPR for this little treasure!
The audio mastering is incredible. 3 legends. Music for the soul, the life, the dreams.
Thank you.

an actual living legend
2022... Ron Carter... it's like listening to GOLD made music!!!...
Long live Mr. Carter and friends! The best!
Saw him play at Birdland last Fall.He puts his whole body & soul into every note.He becomes the instrument.Magical.
This man has appeared on more than 2000 recordings!
Yes!!!! The god father of the low still got it. Told an upright bluegrass bass player a couple of months ago he needed to check Mr. Carter out and so happy to see him on this show.
Wow. I saw Ron Carter play at the Village Vanguard in the early 90s. Didn't realize he was still at it and looks and sounds amazing!
Just lived this in person! Ron, Donald, and Russell were in Oakland, Florida last night. An amazing performance, with a tribute to the late Pharoah Sanders.
It's so good to see Ron Carter in such good form when I wasn't even aware the man still lived! I can recall nearly 50 years ago being coached by a guitarist friend on some Ron Carter patterns for bass.
Happy Birthday Ron Carter!
Happy Birthday Ron Carter🎂🍾05-04-2022

As a musician I can only hope I'll one day be just as much 'in the moment' as Ron Carter seems to be while playing. beautiful!
We better show these people some love while we're still lucky enough to have them with us. Much love to Ron, Russell and Donald!
Maestro Carter's hands are magnificent on his instrument.

Incredible to find this on TH-cam : I have seen the same set with mr Carter, Vega and Malone a number of years ago on the occasion of Ron’s birthday ag the Blue Note. After the concert I was allowed a few minutes private conversation with mr Carter in his dressing room. I have a beautiful photo of that moment that I’d love to share with him
He is master Yoda of the bass. Hug from Argentina
