Ron Carter: San Sebastian – review

Ron Carter's Golden Striker Trio dazzle in this 2010 concert recording, writes Dave Gelly
  
  


Consisting as it does of pianist Mulgrew Miller, guitarist Russell Malone and Carter himself on bass, Ron Carter's Golden Striker Trio might be described as a supergroup, although the label doesn't quite fit its slightly introspective brand of jazz chamber music. All three are such stupendous players that they could go on tinkering away for hours at tunes like My Funny Valentine and keep you spellbound. The trio's name derives, of course, from a classic old Modern Jazz Quartet number, and in some ways it's a successor to the MJQ, although less formal in style and presentation.
