Bud Flanagan (1896 - 1968) and Chesney Allen (1893 - 1982) were a British singing and comedy double act popular during World War II. They were first paired in a Florrie Forde revue, and were booked by Val Parnell to appear at the Holborn Empire in 1926.
As music hall comedians, they would often feature a mixture of comedy and music in their act; this led to a successful recording career as a duo and roles in film and television. Flanagan and Allen were both also members of The Crazy Gang and worked with that team for many years concurrently...
The Tommy Flanagan Trio (with bassist Wilbur Little and drummer Elvin Jones) released their first album, Tommy Flanagan Trio Overseas, in 1957. As an accompanist, Flanagan worked with Ella Fitzgerald from 1963 to 1965 and 1968 to 1978. Beginning in 1975, Flanagan began once again to perform and record as a leader. He continued to work with other players, however, forming a trio with Tal Farlow and Red Mitchell, among other projects.
Flanagan's style was both modest and exceptionally musical. He embodied many of the most important qualities associated with jazz: swing, harmonic sophistication, melodic invention, bluesy feel and humour....
いぶし銀の輝きを発するエレガントな味わいのピアニスト (1930～2001)
1930年5月16日ミシガン州デトロイト生まれ。最高のバイ・プレーヤーのひとりとしてモダン・ジャズ黄金時代に活躍。モダン・ジャズの最高傑作といわれるソニー・ロリンズの『サキソフォン・コロッサス』をはじめ、彼の参加したジャズの名盤は数多くある。その活躍ぶりを称して、“名盤請負人”と呼ばれたが、後のベテランになってから本当に豊かな実りを享受した。1970年代半ば頃から、コンスタントにリーダー・アルバムを発表するようになり、名脇役が主役の道を歩み始める。とはいえその道は決して派手なものでもなく、ジャズの花道を闊歩したわけではないが、評価と人気は上昇線をたどり、“名匠”“巨匠”の名をほしいままにした。人生の深い味わいを感じさせるエレガントな彼のジャズ・ピアノは、万人受けするタイプの演奏ではないが、ジャズ・ファンなら誰でもが魅力に惹きつけられる。流行に合わせることもなく、自分のスタイルを守り続けた。2001年11月16日に世を去った。
