Tommy Flanagan & Hank Jones • Our Delights

 



Review by Scott Yanow
Piano duets have the potential danger of getting overcrowded and a bit incoherent, but neither happens on this rather delightful set. Hank Jones and Tommy Flanagan, two of the four great jazz pianists (along with Barry Harris and Roland Hanna) to emerge from Detroit in the '40s and '50s, have similar styles and their mutual respect is obvious. Their renditions of seven superior bop standards (including "Jordu," "Confirmation" and Thad Jones' "A Child Is Born") plus an alternate take of "Robbins Nest" on this CD reissue are tasteful, consistently swinging and inventive within the tradition.

Crítica de Scott Yanow
Los dúos de piano tienen el peligro potencial de volverse abarrotados y un poco incoherentes, pero ninguna de las dos cosas sucede en este conjunto bastante delicioso. Hank Jones y Tommy Flanagan, dos de los cuatro grandes pianistas de jazz (junto con Barry Harris y Roland Hanna) surgidos de Detroit en los años 40 y 50, tienen estilos similares y su respeto mutuo es obvio. Sus interpretaciones de siete estándares de bop superior (incluyendo "Jordu", "Confirmation" y "A Child Is Born" de Thad Jones) más una toma alternativa de "Robbins Nest" en esta reedición en CD son de buen gusto, consistentemente oscilantes e inventivas dentro de la tradición.
