vf-jm-tf-1983-08-12-amsterdam-front-coveri was in the mood for listening to a bit of von freeman, and ended up on a bit of a tommy flanagan kick, listening to all three days of this tommy flanagan trio + guests run from 1983.  coming back to von freeman, here’s the full show from the 2nd day, when von freeman & james moody join the tf trio.

notes
the tommy flanagan trio at the international jazz festival amsterdam (de meervaart), thursday
through saturday, august 11-13, 1983. the trio acted as the festival’s “trio in residence”.
the trio had several guests passing through on these three days: guitarists herb ellis & emily
remler (august 11); tenor saxophonists von freeman & james moody (august 12); and trombonists
buster cooper & al grey (august 13).

before the sets with guests, the trio had their own sets. dutch radio broadcasts: all three
concerts were recorded and later aired in more than 10 separate broadcasts. radio announcements
by the late michiel de ruyter.

these were originally seeded in 4 separate seeds on dime: all the trio tracks of the three
successive nights in one separate upload of the tommy flanagan trio; and a separate seed for
the performances with the guests on each night. (the trio seed included “like someone in love”,
set 2 track 8 above, as it featured only the trio.)

this has been repackaged to present the entire performance from 12 aug 1983, with set 1 by
the trio, and set 2 by the trio with von freeman and james moody.

these notes have largely been copied from the original seeder’s notes.

we got piano.

this was seeded by nocturnalnph back in april 2010.  in the comments on the dime tracker, one person wrote ‘flanagan is an excellent pianist, i really dig his playing on ‘giant steps’; I don’t know how is the other pianist’, which got the reply ‘”the other pianist” is a jazz legend.’  yeah, well, we all forget names sometimes (no, neither of the people quoted was me, but i’d forget my own name sometimes).

i was at a goodbye dinner for one of my wife’s professional contacts, but someone who i like a lot (both him & his wife, actually).  very sorry to see them leaving!  it’s sort of the nature of life, or at least our lives.

anyway, i was sitting next to another guest, philip, and we got to talking about jazz… philip said he had been fan of j.j. johnson.  me being me, that didn’t ring any bells of course, but so few names do.  but i looked through my cd’s and shows and sure enough, i’ve downloaded 3 shows by j.j. johnson.  dime strikes again!

this one, the oldest of the 3, was recorded in 1957 by swedish radio and (re?) broadcast a few years ago.  ‘dsgtrane’ shared it on dime back in 2011, but i don’t think i’ve listened to it (or either of the other j.j. johnson shows) since.  very nice!  thanks, philip, for mentioning it!  maybe i’ll share one of the other shows, just for a change of pace, in a couple of days.
