Mastered by Kevin Gray
Originally released in 1957, pianist Tommy Flanagan's appropriately titled debut album as a leader was recorded overseas in Stockholm, Sweden during his tour with the Jay Jay Johnson quintet which also included bassist Wilbur Little and drummerElvin Jones. In addition to the crafty calypso swinging original "Eclypso," the 9-song set features excellent readings of Billy Strayhorn's "Chelsea Bridge" and Charlie Parker's "Relaxin' at Camarillo" among others.
These SACD jackets feature printed wraps mounted to chipboard shells, producing an authentic, "old school" look and feel. Some people call these "mini LP" jackets.
Musicians:
- Tommy Flanagan (piano)
- Wilbur Little (bass)
- Elvin Jones (drums)
