5.0 out of 5 stars Bobby H & Tommy Flanagan Magic!, September 16, 2004

This review is from: Mirage (Audio CD)

This 1991 recording features magnificent ensemble playing with two jazz greats backed by a drummer and bass. The playing is superb as you would expect from two well established jazz stars. Additionally, the recording by Orin Keepnews, long time jazz recordist/producer, is exceptionally good with great soundstage featuring cymbles that shimmer and snap as if in front of your face. This release is another testimony why Tommy Flanagan is one of jazz's great piano players. His tone, pacing and playing can only be described as elegant, tasteful, and lovely. This is beautiful-fireplace-put-up-your-feet-open-a-bottle-of-wine music. Tasteful and beautiful, a treat for the senses.

3.0 out of 5 stars Take a drive..., August 9, 2001

I think that this CD is perfect for taking that casual, care-free long drive down your favorite strip, preferrably during the summer and just before the evening sets in. This is part of a series by Label M that reissues rare albums that are at times so blaze that I don't understand why they weren't taken advantage of in more of an abundance. The music forces you to just be still and just enjoy Hutcherson setting mellow moods with the vibes, and between his and Flanagan's solos on the piano, they're not overly complicated, but you don't need anything complicated when you're trying to enjoy that smooth drive down you favorite strip, thinking happy and relaxing thoughts.
