The soundtrack to PBS' 'Finding the Right Notes', the two-hour documentary on jazz legend Ron Carter

Six years in the making, the documentary flm of the most comprehensive look into the life of jazz bassist Ron Carter arrives. "Ron Carter: Finding the Right Notes" was produced and directed by the renowned producer/ director Peter Schnall, a seven-time Emmy Award and Peabody Award winner.

Schnall reveals poignant and joyful details of the jazz maestro's life, from his early years as a cello student in high school through his years in the Miles Davis Quintet of the '60s and into his vital solo career that continues to expand.

The album includes a live performance flmed at the Newport Jazz Festival of Carter's classic original "Soft Winds," and an impromptu bass duet of "Willow Weep for Me" with Christian McBride at The National Jazz Museum in Harlem.

There are also tunes from two New York Blue Note club sessions with Bill Frisell on "My Man's Gone Now" and a frst-time recording with fellow bassist Stanley Clarke on "Bag's Groove." The most rewarding recording comes when Carter meets up with Jon Batiste at the Power Station studio for a conversation and
ultimately a song: "Sweet Lorraine."
