It also featured three of Carter's compositions (the only time he contributed compositions to Davis's group). He stayed with Davis until 1968<ref name="LarkinJazz" /> (when he was replaced by [[Dave Holland (bassist)|Dave Holland]]), and participated in a couple of studio sessions with Davis in 1969 and 1970.  Although he played [[electric bass]] occasionally during this era of early [[jazz-rock fusion]], he has subsequently stopped playing that instrument, and in the 2000s plays only double bass.

Carter also performed on some of Hancock, Williams and Shorter's recordings during the 1960s for [[Blue Note Records|Blue Note]].<ref name="LarkinJazz" />  He was a [[sideman]] on many Blue Note recordings of the era, playing with [[Sam Rivers (jazz musician)|Sam Rivers]], [[Freddie Hubbard]], [[Duke Pearson]], [[Lee Morgan]], [[McCoy Tyner]], [[Andrew Hill (jazz musician)|Andrew Hill]], [[Horace Silver]], and others.
