Nice interview etc in the Grauniad with Ron Carter, who at 86 is still working and touring. Long time Miles Davis collaborator he’s also played on some big hits in the pop world as well as his own albums. Well worth a read even if you never listen to or play jazz.  https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/nov/03/ron-carter-jazz-bassist-miles-davis-aretha-franklin-roberta-flack-interview
