Ron Carter is one of the legendary Bass players of the last 40+ years. His resume` reads like a Who's Who of Jazz. To hear him, recorded just this past March by Radio Sweden at a gig in Stockholm, just gives every indication the legend is still happening and it is as wonderful as ever.
Carter's Golden Striker Trio deliver a memorable club date here and it's spread out over two players to catch the whole 90+ minute date. Announcements are in Swedish since Sveriges Radio P2 runs Jazz concerts pretty much nightly . They stream audio so I would check them out if I were you.
But in the meantime, here is a rundown of what's being played:
