About this album

Anything Goes finds Ron Carter expanding his language beyond acoustic post-bop into sleek jazz-funk and disco-tinged territory. Issued in 1975, the album blends electric rhythm textures, buoyant bass lines and polished ensemble interplay into a set that feels both contemporary and unmistakably Carter. Rather than chasing crossover novelty, he uses the era’s dancefloor energy to frame a melodic, harmonically rich approach that keeps the music grounded in jazz discipline. With reinterpretations such as “Baretta’s Theme (Keep Your Eye On The Sparrow)” and the title track, it stands as a vivid document of Carter adapting his sound to the mid-70s without losing his authority or refinement.
