4/26/06 Rolando Morales-Matos on Tour with Ron Carter Here's a note from Rolando talking about his gear and experiences with legendary bassist Ron Carter: "These were the most exiting playing that I have taken part of in a long time. In Mr. Carter's the music grows constantly, so I had to be on guard at all times. This might sound like at lot of work but to the contrary, it's a pleasure to listen to music that have being created at the spot and pushed to others limits.In the other hand, I have great many instruments that although orthodox to this music, where blended perfectly to the music. Mr. Carter was very specific upon what sound or color he was hearing in his head. I was very lucky to be able to contact Glen and Serge at Pearl Percussion who provided me with the right gear for this project. The list of instruments is large to be listed but few that were a big hit were:1. The new Horacio Cow Bell. They were very in tune with the melodies.2. Ago-Shas were and incredible addition to my set up, allowing me to do two thing at once.3. Ganzeiro and Shakerine also help me be able to be very versatile in terms of being able to do multi tasks.4. The Wind chimes were very nice and easily controlled.To name a few? I really had an incredible experience playing with Mr. Ron Carter.Thank you guys for helping me make this possible" Rolando Morales-Matos |
