„Blue Sunset“ kenne ich nicht. Und die zwei Corea-Alben finde ich leider gerade nicht … „Now He Sings…“ ist auch hier ein Favorit!

Flanagans Monk-Album wurde doch neulich in Iversons Bestenlste erwähnt … er schob jedenfalls nach, dass gerade das oft genannte „Eclypso“ für ihn nicht funktioniere.
Hier:
Tommy Flanagan The Magnificent Tommy Flanagan (with George Mraz and Al Foster, 1981) Surprisingly hard to choose a top Flanagan! I like the tunes and the playing on The Magnificent (what a sensational take of “Good Morning Heartache”), but the one I listened to the most as a kid is one of the best Monk tributes, Thelonica. Flanagan’s early sides are also tasty, including a definitive bop blues with Elvin Jones on brushes, “Relaxin’ at the Camarillo” from Overseas (1958). However, I may buck conventional wisdom and not automatically sign off on Eclypso, the 1977 reunion with Elvin, even though many might choose that as Flanagan’s best.
