Ron McClure
"Jazz [bass] is being in the moment and reacting and opening your mind to what's actually happening, not what you're studying or thinking what should have been..."
This is an interview with one of the greats of bass. Ron’s stories and his observations from playing with Monk, Paul Bley, Kieth Jarrett, Dave Liebman, Richie Beirach, Charles Lloyd, Joe Henderson serve as a masterclass in the art of jazz bass.
Ron’s thoroughly inventive musical mind provides an inspiring foundation to the groups and soloists with whom he’s played. And after all, isn’t that what the bass player is supposed to do?
