 cussionSteve Carter was born and raised in Oakland\, California. "It all 
 started when I was six and my parents bought an old upright piano.  A few
  days later a man came and while I watched he took the whole piano apart a
 nd took the insides away just leaving the wood case.  Then sometime later
  he showed up and with me as his sole audience he put the whole instrument
  with rebuilt parts back together.  As soon as I played a few notes on it
 \, I was sold.  I got a special feeling every time I played it.  I still
  do.​"I loved my first teacher Mrs. Collins. She was a classical teacher
 . She soon realized I wanted to learn Jazz. So she made a deal with me: if
  I showed up to my lesson and had practiced my 3 B’s (Bach\, Beethoven a
 nd Brahms)\, we could work on Boogie Woogies too. I learned all the basics
  from Mrs. Collins.  After five years she helped my parents find a Jazz t
 eacher since she knew that's where my heart was."I started lessons with tw
 o fantastic Jazz teachers.  First Don Burke\, who moved away after a year
 \, then Wilbur Barranco. In High School I could play a standard out of a f
 ake book with block chords in my right hand and stride in the left."In Hig
 h School I got more into listening to Jazz and discovered Erroll Garner\, 
 Dave Brubeck\, Miles Davis\, Charles Lloyd\, Thelonious Monk and John Colt
 rane."But I still hadn’t played piano with anyone.  I just played by my
 self at home. I was a freshman at UC Berkeley studying Engineering.  On a
  whim I auditioned for the school Jazz Ensemble.  Somehow I got in. I sta
 rted taking classes in the music department and studing with Bill Bell and
  before long I was dropping all my Engineering classes and just studying m
 usic.  I had the bug!"I transferred to Berklee College of Music in Boston
  and took lessons with the great Charlie Banacos\, Jaki Byard and Ray Sant
 isi."After college I played in an R&amp\;B band for a couple of years and 
 toured all over the western United States and Canada."In the early 80’s 
 I became a first call piano player in the thriving Bay Area Funky-Latin-Ja
 zz scene. I was Pete Escovedo's piano player for several years. I also wor
 ked with Pete's brother Coke's band\, Sheila E.\, Ray Obiedo's band\, Lind
 a Tillery\, Bill Summers and Summers Heat\, Benny Rietveld\, Bo Freeman\, 
 Able Zarate\, Andy Narell\, Billy Cobham\, Vicki Randle\, Will Kennedy\, M
 alo and many others. I also lived in Tokyo for 8 months and played with Ja
 panese fusion artist Miyaura Kiyoshi.​"In the late 80's I was a member o
 f The Freaky Executives. The "Freakies" were picked as the best Bay Area b
 and by every bay area publication (SF Chronicle \, Oakland Tribune\, East 
 Bay Exprees\, SJ Mercury  News etc.) for 3 years straight. Joel Selvin (S
 F Chron) said we were "the hippest most innovative band to come out of the
  Bay Area in at least 15 years". The Oakland Tribune said we were" the bes
 t band to come out of the East Bay since the days of Sly Stone and Tower o
 f Power". We were signed by Benny Medina to Warner Bros.. Warner Bros. spe
 nt 2 1/2 years recording an album that sounded nothing like the band\, the
 n never released it. The band broke up . . .​"In the 90's I returned to 
 being a sideman. I worked with George Benson\, Bobby Womack\, Michael Fran
 ti and Spearhead\, Kenneth Nash\, Samba Ngo\, Nicolas Bearde\, Tony Lindse
 y\, Charo\, Don Cherry\, Andy Narell\, Benny Reitveld\, Love and Rockets\,
  Taj Mahal\, Rebbe Soul as well as my old friends Ray Obiedo and Pete Esco
 vedo and many others. In this period of time I also honed my studio and so
 ng writing skills playing on over 100 CD’s\, learning to engineer\, writ
 ing music for TV -Third Watch\, Nash Bridges\, film -Wayne Wang’s “The
  Center of The World\, Who Needs Sleep?\, La Mission featuring Benjamin Br
 att\, video games -Maxis’ Sim City\, Pacha's Pajamas as well as writing 
 songs that were recorded by Huey Lewis and The News\, Irene Cara\, Forrest
  Buchtel and many others.​"In the early 2000's I was been a member of Lo
 s Mocosos- A Latin/Hip Hop band\, who toured all over the world playing Ja
 zz and World music festivals. We won a California Music Award for Best Alt
 ernative Latin Album. We have 3 CD's out on Six Degrees Records.​"Lately
  have been performing with my own trio. Dennis Smith on Bass and Billy Joh
 nson on Drums. We released 2 CD’s. Our second CD\, Cosmopolis received t
 op 10 CD's of the year honors from "All About Jazz" and reached 17 on the 
 Roots Music Jazz Chart."I am now a member of a  new band\, “FIVE TEN”
 \, with Dennis Smith\, Marquinho Brasil\, Jeff Narell and Billy Johnson. W
 e have released two  CDs\;  “Cinco Um Zero” and "New World".​"I ha
 ve also recently played with guitarist Pascal Bokar\, Mary Jenson\, Jeff C
 hambers\, Greg Abate\, John Faddis\, Afro Blue Grazz\, Dave Haskel\, Chine
 se superstar Francis Yip and played on recordings with Mexican band Maldit
 a Vecindad\, Tom Scott\, The Headhunters\, George Clinton\, Mos Def and Sn
 oop Dog among others."Should be a treat!
