Tommy Flanagan, Red Mitchell & Elvin Jones - Super Session

This CD reissues a session that teams together three super players: pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Red Mitchell and drummer Elvin Jones. On two of Flanagan's better originals (Minor Perhaps and Rachel's Rondo) and four jazz standards (including Django and Things Ain't What They Used to Be), the musicians communicate quite well (Flanagan and Jones had played together back in the mid-'50s in Detroit) and often think as one. Fine straight-ahead music.
