1998 live album by Tommy Flanagan
Sunset and the Mockingbird (subtitled The Birthday Concert ) is a live album by pianist Tommy Flanagan recorded at the Village Vanguard in 1997 on his 67th birthday and released on the Blue Note label.[ 1] [ 2]
AllMusic gave the album 4 stars with Ken Dryden's review calling it a "memorable set".[ 3] In JazzTimes , Bill Bennett wrote: "This is one of those recordings that defines the art of the piano trio in jazz. Tommy Flanagan's musical wisdom shines through at every juncture of these performances".[ 5] On All About Jazz , Jack Bowers said "As he nears 70, Tommy Flanagan, like fine wine, becomes more pleasurable and venerated with each passing day. He plays with warmth, vigor, soul, an unerring sense of rhythm and dynamics, and any other ingredient one could wish for in a Jazz pianist".[ 6]
