@@realbasslessons9356 Love love that you posted this as Jim was my Bass Reading Level 2 teacher at Berklee in 2002. I seem to remember all of us terrible readers (if you where in that class, you were a terrible reader!) in there being terrified of him going around the room having us all showcase our terrible sight-reading in front of him and our peers. He often made us feel about 2inches tall, because we all had considerable ability to gig/play professionally, but we read music like we were in elementary school! The tough love approach actually worked for me and got me to kick my tail into gear and learn. On the other side, I remember Jim taking me into his office and mentoring me with kindness and patience. Love you, Old Man. Glad to see you're still kicking and doing bass. Meanwhile, I've toured on 5 continents performing as an active duty military bass player...leading a combo gig tonight in Japan. =) Be well, Jim! Thanks for all the tough love, patience, and kindness back in 2002.
First "iconic" recording was 1959, bass Mr. P.C. with Bill Evans on piano = Kind Of Blue; RBL obviously refers to "Four and More" with indeed Ron Carter and Herbie Hancock. Both Bill and Herbie play the trill, ... and both albums are "a must" of course :-)
Thanks for this lesson. Everyone I know has been playing this incorrectly by going to the four instead of staying on the root.
I love this guy! He seems really happy and he also looks like he is enjoying it.
I do love playing and teaching the bass. :)

Loved this, thanks
Famous Ron Carter bass line?! Wasn't it Paul Chambers on 'Kind of Blue'?
I can assure you, Ron also played this song for years with Miles.

Good job 👍🏼
RIP M.r Stennet.
Look up the song 'Cup Stacker' by Vulfpeck. It's the same baseline just on a funk beat instead of a jazz beat
I think Evans played piano on this and not Hancock. Just saying. LOVE your stuff, BTW.
👍
