Классный альбом ты представил! +1 Очень его люблю. Спасибо за напоминание, сейчас и послушаю. А Фланаган - превосходный пианист и я полностью разделяю мнения этих критиков

Элегантность и изысканность у Фланагана сразу чувствуется. Я не так уж и много его слушал, надо будет поискать его записи.

Замечательный альбом! Слушал у Фланагана почти все альбомы и думаю, что этот если и не самый лучший, то уж один из лучших это точно.

К сожалению, слабое знание компьютера подводит.Несколько раз пытался соорудить новость, ничего не получилось, хотя вашу инструкцию изучал. Подскажите, как это делать изначально?( с самого первого шага)

Заранее Спасибо!

Спасибо! Прослушал с большим удовольствием +1

Альбом отличный, спасибо! +1!

Review by Steven Loewy, AMG

By the time of this recording, pianist Tommy Flanagan had been performing for decades -- mostly as a sideman -- for a who's who of jazz: players such as Miles Davis, J.J. Johnson, and Sonny Rollins, to name a few. His perfect, yet unassuming style made him the pianist of choice for dozens of musicians. While he has recorded as a leader from time to time, this album may be the best representation of his work available. He performs a set of great tunes ("Caravan," "Willow Weep for Me," "St. Louis Blues," "Lament," and others) in a topflight trio, with George Mraz on bass and Kenny Washington on drums. Flanagan is at the peak of his powers. Never flashy, never showy, this is just outstanding music performed by a true master who is one of the great bop pianists of the 20th century.

Review by Michael G. Nastos, AMG

The exquisite musings of piano great Tommy Flanagan need no extraneous superlatives; they speak volumes on their own. Here though it's personal, as he pays tribute to First Lady of Jazz Song Ella Fitzgerald, whom he faithfully accompanied first in the summer of 1956, as well as 1962-64 and 1968-78. Of the eleven songs swung by Flanagan, bassist Peter Washington and drummer Lewis Nash, the majority come right out of Ella's fabled songbook, with a couple of zingers tossed in for kicks. By the way, Flanagan himself has never sounded better, illuminating these well-known melodies with some modifications of his own. This program starts and ends with the title cut, but the first time around it's a wistfully slow ballad packed with all the elegance and emotion Flanagan can muster. The finale has him knocking it out flat, rippling with extroversions and extrapolations quite reminiscent of Ella's vocal excursions. Everyone knows how untouchable the pianist is on ballads, shown by the lugubriously patient melody he builds on the absolutely pristine "Isn't It a Pity?," the spooky, foggy "Angel Eyes," or the soft bossa "Alone Too Long." At his excitable best, Flanagan bops away at the midtempo "How High the Moon," goes for it during "Cherokee," chases the Fitzgerald penned "Love You Madly"-type song "Rough Ridin'" full steam ahead, trading eights with the clever Nash. The pianist is at his best during the actual, easy-swinging "Love You Madly," digging into his chordal interpretations of the melody, almost overemphasizing and staggering the phrases into a totally submissive stranglehold. Although Flanagan has many high points in an exceptional career, this is certainly up there with the best, and a great set of Cliff Notes for doing the jazz piano trio right. Highly recommended.

Tracklist:

01.Oh, Lady Be Good (Gershwin, Gershwin) - 4:48
02.Love You Madly (Ellington) - 6:38
03.Isn't It a Pity? (Gershwin, Gershwin) - 5:58
