A couple of years ago, pianist Tommy Flanagan remarked a little wryly that the only available album under his own name had been made way back in 1957. In fact, though he has been prominently featured on hundreds of records, Tommy has cut fewer than a handful of sides as a leader during his 27 years in music. A sad state of affairs when you consider his qualifications. For some strange reason, Flanagan is never on the list when recording contracts are being handed out. It seems that a special talent and incredibly consistency are not enough for some producers. Anyway, bearing this in mind, it is perhaps just that the enclosed session should bear Tommy Flanagan
