As the calendar turns to May 4th, 2024, it is our distinct pleasure at Grateful Web to celebrate the birthday of a true legend, Ron Carter. A master of the upright bass, Ron Carter's profound influence resonates throughout the realms of jazz and beyond. With a career spanning over six decades, Carter’s contributions to music are unparalleled, highlighted by a staggering discography that includes thousands of albums.

Today, The Draper Family Band has released their self-titled debut album via Looking Up Productions.

The Draper Family band consists of the father and son duo of Hammond B3, keyboardist Paul Draper, and his son, multi-instrumentalist and producer, and songwriter Brandon Draper.
