Tommy Flanagan
"Tommy Flanagan Trio Overseas"
Original thick vinyl, deep groove pressing from 1957 on Prestige Records, catalog #1540, mono. Made in USA. Has the "446 W. 50th St." label, and has "RVG" stamped in the dead wax.
The vinyl has a few light surface marks, but they have very little effect on the playback, there is very little noticeable surface noise, no hiss or distortion, just an occasional light background tick. An awesome sounding Lp! The thick cardboard cover has very light ringwear on the front and heavy ringwear in a smudgy inky, kind of of newspaper print sort of fashion, on the back and a dark spot among that too. The top of the spine is missing some paper and there are some nicks along the top edge, no splits. The spine is square.
Rudy Van Gelder - Engineer

This studio session represents one of Tommy Flanagan's earliest dates as a leader, recorded while he was in Stockholm, Sweden. Bassist Wilbur Little and a young Elvin Jones on drums provide strong support, but the focus is on Flanagan's brilliant piano. The brilliant opener is a potent brisk run through Charlie Parker's "Relaxin' at Camarillo," followed by a faster than typical "Chelsea Bridge," which the leader playfully detours into another Billy Strayhorn composition ("Raincheck") for a moment, while also featuring Jones' brushwork in a pair of breaks. Flanagan's approach to the venerable standard "Willow Weep for Me" is steeped in blues, backed by Little's imaginative accompaniment. The bulk of this date is devoted to Flanagan's compositions, though only one, "Eclypso," remained in his repertoire for long. This engaging piece alternates between calypso and bop, with Jones switching between sticks and brushes. "Beat's Up" has the obvious influence of Bud Powell, while the extended blues "Little Rock" opens with a sauntering bass solo. This album has been released under various titles on several labels, including DIW, Dragon, Met, and Prestige, though Fantasy reissued it with three alternate takes in 1999. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
