We continue our conversation with Ron Carter by discussing his Foursight Quartet’s upcoming performances at both Carnegie Hall and the Newport Jazz Festival, his musical explorations of other cultures, and the power of music and education. You can read part one of our conversation here. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PostGenre: So far, we have discussed two – the octet and the Golden Striker Trio – of your three groups that will perform at Carnegie Hall. The third is your Foursight Quartet. How did the Quartet come together?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ron Carter: The quartet is another view of the Miles Davis Tribute Band but with only four players. I still like playing with a horn player despite how long I\u2019ve had the Golden Striker Trio with no horns. I like the challenge of hearing something different. I\u2019ve purposely chosen musicians who will help me maintain this curiosity – James Greene on saxophone, Rene Rosnes on piano, and Payton Crossley on drums. Each of those three has played with me through various ensembles over the past twenty-five years or so. And right before the pandemic, the Quartet released two Live at Stockholm<\/em> (MVD, 2019) records. They are fantastic. Not only the music itself, but the audio quality is to die for if you pardon that expression. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n
