One of my favorite interviews was with the legendary bassist Ron Carter. The interview ran in the Aug 2006 issue of State of Mind, and is now available online - check it out.
The song of the day is the title track from Ron's 1969 release, Uptown Conversation. I was a freshman in college the first time I heard this song, and I thought it was the coolest, slickest music I ever heard.
Of course, Ron Carter has been on thousands of albums - some of my favorite albums ever, Ron is playing bass. Check out some of Bill Frisell's favorites at the end of the interview.
