CD Reviews

A little known gem
David P. | New York, N.Y. USA | 02/12/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The booklet for this wonderful record sheds no light on why these guys only got together this one time, nor any explanation for its undeserved obscurity. A nice mixture of classics and three originals, the musicians clearly enjoyed being in the same room. (If you didn't know their histories, you could easily believe they'd played many a club date together.) For collectors of anything by Carter or Williams, this is not a must-have, even though both sound inspired, but lovers of Flanagan's work shouldn't hesitate."

"When I get to heaven and step into the piano bar for my welcoming vodka and lemon juice, THIS will be the music playing. Each of these three musicians is a master and their thoughtful collaborations sound so easy and full of joy. If you like straight ahead jazz, this belongs in the smallest of collections."
