Description:

Schon immer bekannt fÃ¼r sein geschmackvolles, makelloses und swingendes Klavierspiel, fÃ¼gt Flanagan mit Solo Piano ein groÃ?artiges Zeugnis seines musikalischen Erbes hinzu! Tommy Flanagan war bekannt fÃ¼r sein geschmackvolles, makelloses und swingendes Klavierspiel. Er fÃ¼gte jeder Sitzung, an der er beteiligt war, Klasse hinzu, und glÃ¼cklicherweise wurde dies wÃ¤hrend des letzten Teils seiner Karriere gut dokumentiert. Solo Piano wurde erst Jahrzehnte nach seiner Aufnahmeim Jahr 1974 verÃ¶ffentlicht. Es ist historisch bedeutsam, weil dieser Auftritt die erste Aufnahme desPianisten als Leader seit 13 Jahren war und vor allem, weil es sehr gute Musik ist. Bis zur lange verzÃ¶gerten VerÃ¶ffentlichung von Solo Piano glaubte man, dass Tommy Flanagans â??Comebackâ?? 1975 mit The Tokyo Recital fÃ¼r das Pablo-Label begann und dass sein einziges Album mit unbegleiteten Klaviersoli in voller LÃ¤nge 1977 Alone Too Long war, das von Denon verÃ¶ffentlicht wurde in Japan. Solo Piano erzwang eine leichte Neujustierung der Jazz-GeschichtsbÃ¼cher und bietet den HÃ¶rern vor allem sehr vergnÃ¼gliche Musik des groÃ?en Pianisten. Es enthÃ¤lt auch einige Ã?berraschungen, insbesondere fÃ¼r diejenigen, die Flanagan in erster Linie als Bop-Stylist bezeichnen. -

Tommy Flanagan was always known for his tasteful, flawless and swinging piano playing. The American jazz pianist and composer grew up in Detroit and was initially influenced by artists Art Tatum, Teddy Wilson, and Nat King Cole. Within months of moving to New York in 1956 he was recording with Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins. His recordings under various leaders, including the historic Giant Steps of John Coltrane, continued well into 1962 when he became vocalist Ella Fitzgerald's full time accompanist. He added class to every session that he was involved in and fortunately he was well documented during the latter part of his career. Solo Piano was not initially released until decades after it's 1974 recording. It is significant historically because this outing was the pianist's first record date as a leader in 13 years and, most importantly, because it is very good music.
