The Master Trio is an album by jazz pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony Williams.
Pianist Tommy Flanagan and bassist Ron Carter had recorded together numerous times since 1960. In contrast, this recording session (which also resulted in the album Blues in the Closet) was Flanagan's only recording with drummer Tony Williams.
The album was recorded on June 16 and 17, 1983, at A&R Recording Studio in New York City. "It Don't Mean a Thing" is played in D minor and at a medium tempo. Carter uses a lot of quotations in his solo on "St. Thomas". "Angel Eyes" is played in A minor. "New Song #3" is a Carter composition. Flanagan's "Minor Mishap" has an AABA structure, with the first and last A sections in B-flat minor, and the second in F minor.
The album was released in Japan by Baybridge.
