Julian Joseph presents a concert from bass legend Ron Carter and his Foursight Quartet. Carter is one of the most prolific bassists in jazz history. He has appeared on over 2000 sessions and worked with a who鈥檚 who of jazz, though he is probably best known as a member of the Miles Davis Quintet in the mid-1960s when he recorded the albums Seven Steps to Heaven and E.S.P.
