PS The RSD numbered signed Ron Carter ‘The Golden Striker’ double has finally landed at Juno, I’ve just bagged a copy.
Thanks for that Tony. I'd given this one a miss, but I'm wavering...

The more I look at his career the more amazed I become, he plays on just about everything, just an endless catalogue of classic albums. I don’t know the exact percentage, but I bet he plays on at about a quarter of my jazz collection!
I just stumbled across the fact that, according to Guinness World Records, Ron Carter is the most recorded jazz bassist in history - over 2200 credits as of 2016

I wonder who might be considered his living bass contemporaries. Cecil McBee is a favourite of mine and Reggie Workman is still with us and playing - though both have just under 500 recordings each listed on Discogs - the slackers!
but I wonder how many sessions Carol Kaye played on?
