lobbyman Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hi folks, i have just received the last record from Tommy flanagan. I was amazed cause some of the content haven't been issued before like the medley and the tribute to bill evans. You can check it out here: [link removed] Have a nice day.

Gheorghe Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I heard him only once it 1985, so that was four years later. I loved that concert and still remember it very well, and he had a fantastic trio with George Mraz and Art Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have the chance to assist to one of his concerts ! God bless him.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I saw him once at Bradley's, in a duo with George Mraz. I was fortunate to sit close to the stage, because the crowd was conversing so loudly that I could barely hear the music. Why go to a place like that when all you want to do is talk?

AllenLowe Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 that was a good gig, though. Tommy played there, Barry Harris played there, Jaki Byard was the Sunday pianist in the '70s. Everybody played well. As a matter of fact, one day I was listening to Jaki and in walked Mingus and Monk - together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedR Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Tommy was a nice man and great pianist. I sure think so too. I saw him play with a trio (Winard Harper was the drummer IIRC) at the University of Virginia and developed a much greater appreciation for his playing after hearing him in concert. He also took part in a pre concert panel discussion. The next day I ran into him and his wife at the Charlottesville airport. I told him how much I enjoyed his playing and asked if he'd sign my Downbeat critics poll issue that listed him as winner of the piano category. He was a man of few words but was very gracious to me and, though unaware of the poll results, he seemed genuinely pleased that he was voted top pianist that year.

Larry Kart Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Sorry -- but again this looks like a bootleg; see forum rule 7. Thus I'm removing the link in the first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
