I became a hip-hop fan before I could appreciate jazz - Tribe introduced me to Ron - I've never had the chance to see him in concert though - how was he?

He was sharp as hell. Had a great band with him. Dude still rips it and he does the quiet sh*t too which isn't always a crowd pleaser but this was at the Blue Note in NYC so the crowd was seasoned and shut the F up.

Nice! I'd love to see him live at some point - he's getting older, so the sooner the better, I live in New England, so generally my best bet is usually Boston.

I was supposed to see Christian Scott but he cancelled a week before and they got Ron to fill the slot. I was actually more excited to see Ron Carter than Scott. Not sure how often he plays or if this was just a once in a while thing. I'm sure he still plays a lot or at least did before Covid.

Honestly have never heard of Christian Scott - what would be your recommended album to someone who's never listened to him?

Ja that was my intro and a good one, but Axiom is what made me really put the respect on Christian Scott.

Thanks for the recommendations guys, I'll check 'em both out. AllMusic has got them both at a 4.5/5 but declared that Ancestral Recall is not only a 4.5/5 but also an editor's choice - perhaps I'll check that out too if I dig the two albums you both mentioned.
