The record

Recorded live in 1975 with Keter Betts and Bobby Durham, this trio date catches Flanagan mid-decade, having stepped fully out from behind Ella Fitzgerald to lead on his own terms. Pablo's clean, unfussy production lets his touch -- lyrical, harmonically restless, never showy -- carry the whole room.
