Ron Carter is an American jazz double bassist. He was a member of the Miles Davis Quintet from 1963 to 1968, alongside Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Tony Williams, and has appeared on more than 2,000 recordings; Wikipedia, citing Guinness World Records, counts 2,221 sessions and calls him the most-recorded jazz bassist in history.

On Mike's Master Classes, "All Alone" is a clinic he gave on November 4, 2009, at David Gage String Instruments in New York City, a one-night workshop in which he played, talked about gig preparation and working with other musicians and amplification, and answered audience questions.
