Ron Carter made his name as the bassist in Miles Davis’ Second Great Quintet, alongside pianist Herbie Hancock, drummer Tony Williams, and late saxophonist Wayne Shorter. In the grand scheme of jazz, though, that was just five years in a decades-long career as a sideman, leader, composer, teacher, and steady heartbeat of thousands of records and concerts. With his profile recently raised by the PBS documentary Ron Carter: Finding the Right Notes, the jazz master brings his current trio with guitarist Russell Malone and pianist Donald Vega to the Paramount for a rare Texas appearance. Simply unmissable for jazz fiends.
