Yellow & Green (Ron Carter album)

Yellow & Green is an album by bassist Ron Carter recorded at Van Gelder Studio in New Jersey in 1976 and released on the CTI label.

Reception

Allmusic reviewer Jim Todd calls the album "A low point for bassist Ron Carter, this aimless set suffers from the malaise that hit the jazz scene after the fusion boom of the late '60s and early '70s... An episode best forgotten".
