An accomplished academic and author, Carter can boast more than 2,500 recording credits to his name, making the double-bass legend one of the most prolific instrumentalists in his field.
In the early 1960s, Carter performed throughout the United States in nightclubs and concert halls with Eric Dolphy, Jaki Byard, and Wes Montgomery, and then toured Europe with Cannonball Adderley. He was a member of Miles Davis’s now classic quintet from 1963 to 1968, along with Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, and Wayne Shorter.
Carter will lead his collaborators, Russell Malone and legendary pianist Mulgrew Miller as the Ron Carter Trio for a series of shows and opening for them along the way will be none other than Elixir featuring the haunting vocals of Brisbane’s own Katie Noonan.
Comprising saxophonist Zac Hurren, guitarist Stephen Magnusson and the multiple ARIA Award-winning Noonan, Elixir returns to the studio this April to cut a second album. Some of those new works will be presented for the first time when Elixir opens for the Ron Carter Trio.
Elixir’s as-yet-untitled new album promises to explore new musical boundaries, built around the lyrical framework of the celebrated Australian writer Thomas Shapcott.
For Elixir, the opportunity to share the stage with Ron Carter will provide an extraordinary glimpse of a genius at work.
“These will be Ron Carter’s first-ever concerts in Australia, and the trio are the best in the world at what they do,” says Noonan. “I’m thrilled and excited, and slightly freaked out at the same time.”
Carter’s bulging trophy cabinet includes a Grammy Award, which came in 1988 for the instrumental composition, Call Sheet Blues, from the film ‘Round Midnight.
Now, with his trio making the rarest of journeys Down Under, Australian audiences can experience the magic.
Do not miss this luscious line up of Ron Carter Trio and Elixir commencing their Australian tour in Brisbane for one night only!
