Ron Carter made some great solo albums in the 70's for the CTI label. 'Yellow and Green' and 'Pastels' are two good uns. Backed by Fender Rhodes and drums, these albums are easy listening and show that bass solos can work without sounding like the artist is trying to ingratiate his technique on the listener. That is the difference between great jazz musicians and good rock musicians playing jazz - jazz musicians don't have to try too hard whereas rock musos don't sound natural and end up sounding like they're trying too hard - bit like Soft Machine 4 and 5.
