Flanagan, Tommy Lee

Flanagan, Tommy Lee
▪ 2002

      American jazz pianist (b. March 16, 1930, Detroit, Mich.— d. Nov. 16, 2001, New York, N.Y.), improvised fluent melodies with swing, harmonic ingenuity, and a light touch. A sensitive accompanist, he made his first recording with Miles Davis; played on classic modern albums, notably Sonny Rollins's Saxophone Colossus (1956) and John Coltrane's Giant Steps (1959); and toured with tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, singer Tony Bennett, and especially Ella Fitzgerald (1963–65, 1968–78) before becoming leader of his own trio, which was noted for lyricism and good taste.
