RON CARTER: Well, I noticed that this high school orchestra would send out groups of string players to play for various functions, whether it be an educators convention or a little social thing down the street, and they never called a Black cello player.
RON CARTER: One of the things that has peaked just on this record, which kind of surprised me actually is that a lot of Bill Frisell fans have called and want to know why is he on this record.
RON CARTER: I think the first thing a people or group would have to do is insist that it be as part of the curriculum from kindergarten on as sports is. Until the educational system on that level makes music important, it will never be important to those young people.

 The Ron Carter Nonet: Eight Plus - PopMatters Music Review
Ron Carter's nonet is unique if for nothing else but the featured instrumentation: piccolo bass, piano, bass, drums, percussion, and four cellos.
For the first 30 seconds, Carter's piccolo bass and Maleson's bass are in lock step, simultaneously establishing the bebop-ish melody and rhythm, plucking in front of the sudden accents of piano and high hat, as the cellos provide reinforcing layers of counterpoint.
Then, without fanfare, Carter saunters off on his own as the rest of his band mates hold the fort; for the next three minutes, it is pure pleasure to listen to his deft touch.

Carter also contributed the carnival-vibed “Parade” (originally penned for a recording date with Joe Henderson, Chick Corea and Tony Williams) and the slow lyrical “A Theme in 3/4 Time” (a ballad written for Henderson which features Miller’s classical-like piano statements and Malone’s feathery runs).

On this album he heads a fairly standard quintet that features two significant innovations: Carter himself plays a half-size piccolo bass (which he uses mostly as a melody instrument, leaving the actual bass parts to the impressive Leon Maleson) and the quintet is further augmented by three cellists.
The intonation problems that marred Carter's cello playing in the early '60s with pianist Mal Waldron have followed him onto the piccolo bass, but his humor, energy, and inventiveness are enough to put the music across despite the occasional tuning problems.
The cellos are a nice touch, and their chordal accompaniments give Carter's compositions an unusual and pleasing texture.
