Bass Tips Of The Week
Jazz Bass Lines: Ron Carter's Bass Line On "Now's The Time"
Having appeared as a sideman on over 2,000 recordings and on dozens of projects as a leader, Ron Carter is recognized as one of the most original, prolific, and influential bassists in jazz music. Born in 1937 near Detroit and raised in a musical family, Ron Carter's career in music began with a classically influenced background. He took up the cello at age ten and in high school learned to play violin, clarinet, trombone, and tuba. At age 17, Carter picked up the acoustic upright bass and within six months was awarded a scholarship to the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York where he became the first black member of the Eastman-Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. After graduating with a bachelor of music degree from Eastman in 1959, Carter moved to New York and earned a master's degree in double bass from the Manhattan School of Music in 1961. While attending the Manhattan School of Music, Carter freelanced as both a bassist and cellist. He played with the Chico Hamilton Quartet as well a number of other prominent musicians including Eric Dolphy, Thelonious Monk, Jaki Byard, Cannonball Adderley, and Art Farmer.
In 1963, Carter replaced Paul Chambers as bassist of the renowned Miles Davis Quintet. Davis' classic quintet of the mid-1960's is considered by many critics to not only be Davis' finest group but also one of the most influential bands in the history of music. Alongside Davis, pianist Herbie Hancock, saxophonist Wayne Shorter, and drummer Tony Williams, Carter played in clubs and concert halls around the world while contributing to some of the most significant recordings in jazz history. With Williams, Carter anchored one of the greatest rhythm sections of all-time.
Carter left the Miles Davis Quintet in 1968 and settled permanently in New York where he worked as a sideman and led his own groups. In the 1970's, Carter developed a cello-like piccolo bass which he played as a leader of his own two-bass quartet with bassist Buster Williams. Throughout the '70's and '80's, Carter played and recorded with an extraordinary list of legendary jazz artists including Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner, Wes Montgomery, Freddie Hubbard, Horace Silver, Stan Getz, Sonny Rollins, Bill Evans, Stanley Turrentine, and Red Garland.
Over the past five decades, Carter has received numerous awards and accolades from both critics and reader's polls alike for his contributions to jazz music. Carter has been named by Downbeat magazine as "Jazz Bassist of the Year" and "Most Valuable Player - Acoustic Bass" by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. He has also been acknowledged as "Outstanding Bassist of the Decade" by the Detroit News. Carter has been awarded two honorary doctorate degrees in music from the New England Conservatory of Music and the Manhattan School of Music and is also the recipient of the prestigious prestigious Hutchinson Award from the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester. Carter won the "Best Instrumental Composition" Grammy award in 1987 for "Call Sheet Blues" which was featured in the film 'Round Midnight. In 1994, he won the "Best Jazz Instrumental Performance" Grammy for A Tribute To Miles.
As an instructor, Carter has authored several method books on jazz bass technique and classical bass studies. He has lectured, conducted clinics, directed jazz ensembles, and taught the business of music at numerous leading universities. When it was located in Boston, Carter served as the Artistic Director of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Studies, and after 18 years on the faculty of the City College of New York, Carter retired as Distinguished Professor Emeritus.
One of the most effective ways to learn how to improvise walking bass lines involves the transcription, analysis, emulation, and manipulation of the bass lines recorded by your favorite bassists. Similar to learning a new language, improvising involves studying and using a vocabulary to express and develop ideas. Because there are too many variables to consider at the beginning, transcribed bass lines that have been recorded by your favorite bassists will initially limit your focus and help establish a solid foundation so you don't feel overwhelmed with all of the possibilities that are available to you as a bass player.
Keep a collection of transcribed bass lines by legendary bassists such as Ray Brown, Ron Carter, and Paul Chambers as well as your favorite bassists. This archive may consist of bass lines you've personally transcribed as well as bass lines you've acquired through other resources. After you transcribe the lines of your favorite bassists, practice playing them along with the recordings by memorization without referring to the notation. Listen very deeply to how the master bassists communicate through the language of improvisation. Strive to not only play all of the notes and rhythms perfectly but also emulate the sound and feel that has been captured on the recordings as close as possible. Pay particular attention to all the little nuances and inflections that bassists often incorporate into their lines, and try to make an emotional connection to their performance. Once you understand how they arrange their lines, you will be able to utilize that knowledge and create more sophisticated bass lines by altering the basic structure of your favorite lines and then assimilate those ideas into your own playing.
In this lesson, we will take a look at a complete transcription of the walking bass line recorded by Ron Carter on "Now's The Time." "Now's The Time" is a 12-bar blues in F that was composed by Charlie Parker who was one of the most prominent figures of the bebop era and is today regarded as one of the most innovative musicians in the history of jazz music. This rendition of "Now's The Time" was featured on the motion picture soundtrack for Bird which was produced and directed by Clint Eastwood in 1988. Utilizing complex techniques of selective equalization, noise filters, and other devices, a highly skilled team of engineers removed all of the unwanted frequencies and retained every note of Parker's solo from the original Savoy recording. A group of notable musicians including Carter was then assembled to recreate the track with Parker's solo. ... Read More!
Jazz Improvisation: Scale Cells
Understanding the relationship between the horizontal and vertical construction of music is an essential aspect to expanding your musical vocabulary and becoming a successful improviser. When discussing the harmonic structure of compositions, musicians utilize scales to represent tonal centers, and while improvising melodic phrases, you have two options as a soloist. You can play notes in skips or you can arrange notes through a series of steps. If you move by skips for more than two notes, your phrases will start to imply a chord formation, and if you move in steps for more than two notes, your phrases will suggest a scale form.
As you study transcriptions of renowned solos, you will notice that rarely will a soloist run up or down a scale in its entirety over the course of a solo because most musicians frequently change directions. If you analyze solos that were recorded by Charlie Parker, seldom will you find a phrase where he played a complete scale in an ascending or descending fashion without pausing. However, there are certain players that have made more use of scales in their improvisations. During his modal period, Miles Davis and John Coltrane would often play a phrase that contained an entire scale. Since most musicians simply don't run scales up and down during a solo, it makes sense to practice scales in smaller cells or fragments. Using scale fragments will allow you to alter directions more easily and also provide you with greater melodic freedom than playing whole scales.
In this lesson, we are going to begin taking a look at utilizing scales as melodic cells. We won't be dealing with entire scales but rather scale cells or scale fragments. The most common scale in Western-based music is the major scale. It features a particular arrangement or formula of whole steps and half steps. Besides the major scale and its related modes, there are many other scales that are built using different combinations of whole steps and half steps including the modes of the melodic minor scale, the half-step/whole-step symmetrical diminished scale, the whole-step/half-step symmetrical diminished scale, and the whole tone scale. Each of these scales you can be broken down into smaller scale fragments consisting of two, three, four, and five-note cells. ... Read More!
