Carter joined Davis's group in 1963, appearing on the album Seven Steps to Heaven and the follow-up E.S.P.. Carter also performed on some of Hancock, Williams and Shorter's recordings during the sixties for Blue Note Records. He was a sideman on many Blue Note recordings of the era, playing with Sam Rivers, Freddie Hubbard, Duke Pearson, Lee Morgan, McCoy Tyner, Andrew Hill, Horace Silver and many others. He was elected to the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame in 2012. In 1993, he won a Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Group and another Grammy in 1998 for "an instrumental composition for the film" Round Midnight.

Entre Amigos
by: Sentidos OpuestosFui tu mejor amiga
todo marchaba bien
pero una noche fria la soledad, yo no se porque
nos complico la vida
prendiendonos la piel
cada vez que me miras
estoy perdida, no se que hacer
Confundida porque alguien me dijo
que despues del amor no hay amigos
tal vez llegue hasta el cielo contigo, o tal vez...
No volvamos a vernos mas
aunque grite la soledad
tal vez pierda al amigo que mas he querido
o tal vez lo quiera mas
No podemos volver atras
y negar nuestra realidad
entre buenos amigos
tambien el cupido se asoma para flechar
Fue algo inevitable
no hay que disimular
corazon inflamable basto una chispa para estallar
No me siento culpable
tengo que confesar
que me gusto mirarte
con otros ojos fue tan real
Confundida porque alguien me dijo
que despues del amor no hay amigos
tal vez llegue hasta el cielo contigo o tal vez...
No volvamos a vernos mas
aunque grite la soledad
tal vez pierda al amigo que mas he querido
o tal vez lo quiera mas
No podemos volver atras
y negar nuestra realidad
entre buenos amigos tambien el cupido
se asoma para flechar...
Mariana. a pesar de que ya no seguimos, y cada quien hiso su vida,
siempre te llevare en mi corazon siempre seras mi gran AMOR
