1983 - New Jazz Records / OJCCD 079-2 / CD

The Cats, a 1957 Tommy Flanagan date featuring John Coltrane, Idrees Sulieman and fellow Detroit natives Kenny Burrell, Doug Watkins and Louis Hayes, showcases Flanagan’s compositional talents with four of his original tunes performed by the sextet. The standard “How Long Has This Been Going On” is presented via trio and showcases Flanagan’s tender touch and Hayes’ brush prowess, with Watkins’ bass blending perfectly.

“Eclypso”, with its Caribbean-flavored head, has Flanagan flowing bebop lines with ease and Sulieman blowing a textured trumpet solo in the Fats Navarro-Clifford Brown style. Kenny Burrell, regarded by many as the midpoint guitar master between Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery, shares the melody line on “Solacium” (The tune’s title is the Latin word for ‘solace’). This sentiment is especially true of Flanagan’s and Sulieman’s solos.

John Coltrane, here in his middle period, begins his improvisation languorously but quickly assures with his “sheets of sound”, squeezing flurries of notes from his horn. Burrell follows suit, starting with a blues-drenched statement of empathy, but filling the arc of his solo with double-time finesse.

The CD closes with a blues, “Tommy’s Tune”, and tells a similar instrumental story, each player initially mournful but fighting the blue devils of discontent. Rhythm section support is superlative. Coltrane’s cries and Watkins’ sighs during his one solo on the session are a fitting end: only two of these artists, Hayes and Burrell, remain with us today.
