EP 303 | Bassist Ron Carter turns 87
Mulligan Stew
When Ron Carter's name comes up, one of the first things people write or say is – he’s played bass and cello on over 2500 albums. That’s impressive and awe-inspiring. Totally agree. When I hear the name Ron Carter I think of the bassist who played in Miles Davis’ second band, alongside Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams & George Coleman. “The List” of bands and recordings would include Wayne Shorter, Blue Note recordings with Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, McCoy Tyner, Horace Silver, and 100’s of others. I talked to Ron about his recordings in popular music. Roberta Flack,...

Mulligan Stew
Every once in a while there’s a week that goes by that is blessed with great conversations. Somewhere down that road, I decided that instead of choosing one interview over the other, why not have them both share the podcast. March 2, 2008, was the day gifted singer/songwriter and truly remarkable man Jeff Healey lost his battle with cancer. We had a great long-distance friendship. Every time we reconnected, we fell into an easy chatter that always ended up in laughter. Good man. I was gutted by his loss. Still am.

Mulligan Stew
Feb 9th Alan Doyle releases his next album Welcome Home Feb 10 he guests on Mulligan Stew “I have always struggled with the middle ground. I love playing live so much and I have rightly been accused of writing songs more for concerts than albums. Most people who come to my shows want that kind of night out.
