How to play bass, by Ron Carter
I heard a great little story on JAZZ-FM this morning about Ron Carter, the great jazz bassist.
Apparently he was good friends with Bill Cosby, himself a jazz fan. During a visit to Cosby’s house, the comedian noticed Carter’s fingers and remarked, “all the bass players I know are always sanding their fingers to remove the calluses, but you have no calluses. How come?”
Carter replied, “that’s easy. I play correctly.”
