Overseas is an album by pianist Tommy Flanagan, recorded with bassist Wilbur Little and drummer Elvin Jones in 1957. It was Flanagan's debut album as a leader.
Pianist Tommy Flanagan was touring Europe as part of trombonist J. J. Johnson's band in 1957 when he was given the chance to lead a recording session for the first time. [1] From Johnson's touring group, Flanagan hired Little and Jones for the session, which took place in Stockholm on August 15. [2] [3] Six of the album's nine pieces were Flanagan originals. [4]
Flanagan rerecorded five of the album's selections on his 1996 trio album Sea Changes, his final studio recording as a leader. These were his original compositions "Beat's Up", "Delarna", "Eclypso", and "Verdandi", as well as Charlie Parker's "Relaxin' at Camarillo".
