The strings sway and the groove dances - Ron Carter's flexible challenge.
This is an ambitious crossover work by Ron Carter, a renowned bassist who was also active in the Miles Davis Quintet. It highlights his diverse musicality that goes beyond the boundaries of jazz.
The album features crossover elements including jazz, funk, bossa nova, and Latin. As the title suggests, the "anything goes" spirit symbolizes the diversification of jazz that was progressing at the time. The string arrangements and electric bass are exquisitely intertwined, creating a sense of softness and tension at the same time. This is an album that is ahead of its time, offering freshness to jazz fans and quality to fusion fans.
