Ho avuto il grande piacere di ascoltare il grande ,elegantissimo,Tommy Flanagan , tanti anni fa quando venne nella mia città,Pescara,sul mare Adriatico.Accompagnava la Divina Ella....What an evening...

[@202rrlowe]

What clean and rich playing. Marvelous

[@vova47]

Tommy is in a great form here, displaying his unique lyrical approach to bebop, aided greatly by Mraz - simply the best bassist for Flanagan and the ever reliable Lewis Nash. This is arguably the best working trio Flanagan ever had.

[@charlesbarry6730]

Tommy Flanagan and Hank Jones two of the most tasteful pianists that jazz has produced.

[@harsszeg]

U got that shit right!

[@bebopuser]

can you guys recomend me some H.J. stuff in trio ? i need to check for his best !

[@kbeeistley]

@@bebopuser "Bop Redux" is a nice one.

[@chosdam]

This is one of my favorite Charlie Parker tunes. Especially one of the takes has a great little solo by Bird's go to pianist Duke Jordan. I have to think that Flanagan is riffing off of that solo, not so much literally quoting it, but the feeling of subtle swing, graceful yet all in. Just beautiful.

[@golds04]

So many of Birds tunes were great : to me this one is untouchable in its melodic creativity and swing. Ty for the uploading. Tommy is so wonderful.

[@liamwatson5125]

That’s a good way to play two songs together, first the original and then the contrafact of that song.

[@paulfhoffman]

Hank Jones once said that his clean articulation was inspired by Billy Kyle, the under-recorded pianist with John Kirby and the Louis Armstrong All-Star bands. -paul hoffman
