Ron Carter and the Jazzaar Festival Big Band
A long-awaited collaboration between the Jazzaar Festival and the late Bob Freedman to feature the
most recorded bassist in the history of music, Ron Carter, was finally realized in April 2019.
A few months into planning, song selection was vigorously underway by December 2018. Bob
Freedman, Ron Carter’s favorite arranger, seemed all elated, sleeves rolled up to whip
out gems of new arrangements when the shocking news arrived that our dear friend Bob suddenly
passed away, which brought the project naturally to a halt.
But, Bob would want us to proceed with the project, especially when he had already furnished us
with a countless list of his arrangements in the past that had not yet been heard or performed. Indeed, Ron Carter and Jazzaar’s Fritz Renold doubled down to create a repertoire among
Bob’s existing works, while Ron Carter also penned an original dedicated to his late
friend. Hence, “Remembering Bob Freedman” was premiered and recorded live at the Jazzaar Festival
in Aarau, Switzerland, on schedule. All tracks in this album were standards arranged by the late Bob
Freedman, with the exception of Ron Carter’s ‘Opus 5, which was arranged and orchestrated by
Christian Jacob.
Jazzaar Festival’s educational platform, ‘Bandstand Learning with Role Models, ' offers selected Swiss youth musicians the opportunity to apprentice alongside seasoned international artists
for a week at rehearsals, followed by performances together at various venues in the country.
Remembering Bob Freedman was performed by Ron Carter & The Jazzaar Festival Big Band, directed
by Christian Jacob, featuring guest artists Ron Carter on bass, Antonio Hart on Alto Saxophone,
Ryan Quigley on lead trumpet, Jason Jackson on trombone, Donald Vega on piano, and Carl Allen
on drums.
