As a youth, Carter lived in Harlem around the corner from Bubber Miley, who was Duke Ellington's featured trumpeter. Carter was inspired by Miley and bought a trumpet, but when he found he couldn't play like Miley, he traded the trumpet in for a saxophone. For the next two years, he played with jazz musicians including cornetist Rex Stewart, clarinetist-soprano saxophonist Sidney Bechet, pianists Earl Hines, Willie "The Lion" Smith, pianist Fats Waller, pianist James P. Johnson, pianist Duke Ellington, and their respective groups.

They say, Ruby you're like a dream Not always what you seem And though my heart may break when I awake Let it be so I only know, Ruby, it's you They say, Ruby you're like a song You don't know right from wrong And in your eyes I see heart aches for me But from the start, who stole my heart? Ruby, it's you I hear your voice and I must come to you I have no choice what else can I do? They say, Ruby you're like a flame Into my life you came And though I should beware Still I don't care you thrill me so
