Morganized Posted August 31, 2003 Report Posted August 31, 2003 (edited) Is anyone familar with this release? The store where I saw it had it under Tommy Flanagan but AMG says it is a Coltrane release. Seems many of the tunes are Flanagan's. Is it any good? Looks like a good lineup. The players are........ Tommy Flanagan - Piano, Performer Louis Hayes - Drums Doug Watkins - Bass Kenny Burrell - Guitar, Performer John Coltrane - Sax (Tenor) Edited September 2, 2003 by Morganized Quote
jazzbo Posted August 31, 2003 Report Posted August 31, 2003 It's co-led I guess, and a bit of a jam, but a very nice session. Each of the main soloists (Tommy, Trane, Kenny) have such a lyrical sound. . . . It's swinging beauty. Quote
Big Wheel Posted August 31, 2003 Report Posted August 31, 2003 Idrees Sulieman is also on trumpet. Personally, I think this session is underrated. The trio version of "How Long Has This Been Going On" is beautiful, and everyone cooks on the closing blues "Tommy's Time." I find myself pulling this one out often at times when I need to unwind.

jmjk Posted August 31, 2003 Report Posted August 31, 2003 I like this session, and I've always thought of it as Flanagan's, not 'Trane's. Quote
brownie Posted September 1, 2003 Report Posted September 1, 2003 A superb session. This was originally a Tommy Flanagan date. Flanagan composed the four originals on the album and carries the ballad feature 'How Long Has This Been Going On' as a trio track. The album is also a not too frequent occasion to hear Idrees Sulieman. Quote
king ubu Posted September 1, 2003 Report Posted September 1, 2003 Yes, a very good one indeed! Nice to hear Sulieman in such stellar company. Flanagan's trio track "How Long Has This Been Going on" is stunning. He had such a nice touch! And Doug Watkins... words fail. That's a BASS-sound! ubu Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted September 1, 2003 Report Posted September 1, 2003 That's a BASS-sound! ubu BASS-sound="Eclypso" !!! Great disc.....anyone ever see the mini-lp version of this around? I've been iso. Quote
Dan Gould Posted September 2, 2003 Report Posted September 2, 2003 Years and years ago-maybe within six months of my catching the jazz bug, I picked up this OJC. Ultimately didn't do enough for me and I sold it and haven't thought twice about it since. Til now, that is. This thread makes me seriously wonder whether this was another one I'll end up re-buying.
