Ron Carter Trio: The Golden Striker
Today is bass legend Ron Carter’s birthday, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t celebrate with some of his incredible playing.
Here’s the bassist’s Golden Striker Trio, featuring pianist Mulgrew Miller and guitarist Russel Malone playing their namesake tune, originally performed by the Modern Jazz Quartet.
Happy Birthday Ron Carter!

Is it just me or has Rons intonation been a bit questionable the last few years..
I noticed the intonation issues right off the bat.
However, keep in mind, he may not be playing his bass. When traveling, bassists often use the house bass because it is difficult to transport your bass due airline policies / expense.

Yeah I read that too, but for someone considered to be a master of the upright bass, you’d think he’d be able to get a bit closer to the pitches than he does, regardles of what bass he’s playing!

It would be great if all double basses were exactly the same, but, they aren’t. Travel has made it nearly impossible for someone to use their bass all the time. It looks as if this bass might even be laminated but I’m not sure. But one of the most important things here is that there is no drummer and yet you know where every section and all the changes are in every section and solo – a great schooling from some well-seasoned musicians.
