Carter seems to get a fair bit of intonation skepticism himself:

>Bad pitch, over-reliance on some pet devices, seemingly just going through the motions ("playing" rather than PLAYING), these are all things that the Ron Carter of today (NOT the Ron Carter of yesterday) seems as likely to deliver as an inspired, meaty performance....Ron's intonation is so terrible...Too bad there isn’t a producer around with the guts to confront this sacred cow with a simple question: “Hey Ron, you wanna check your intonation?”...

His brushes with Bach seem to bring out the loudest protestations.

I love a lot of the recordings that Ron Carter is on. He's usually such a great player, but the whole "Meets Bach" album is... well, it's filled with what I'd call "really questionable intonation choices".

Example It's even worse that its a studio album. Its like, he went in, recorded it and was like "Yeah, this is cool." and then they put it out. WTF? The amazon reviews sum it up.
