Tommy Flanagan, George Mraz, Elvin Jones - Confirmation (Vinyl LP, Enja, 1982) - EX / EX

Confirmation brings together pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist George Mraz and drummer Elvin Jones in a beautifully balanced trio session. Flanagan’s elegant touch and deep bebop vocabulary are matched by Mraz’s melodic bass playing and Jones’s powerful, highly distinctive rhythmic approach. The programme includes Charlie Parker’s title composition alongside standards and finely judged trio performances, capturing three exceptional musicians in an intimate setting.
