Tommy Flannagan
Friday 8 October 2004 16:00-17:00 (Radio 3)
If he is best known as Ella Fitzgerald's most distinguished accompanist he nevertheless had the gift of being in the right place at the right time. He is the pianist on two of the most important albums in jazz - Giant Steps and Saxophone Colossus. Alyn Shipton talks to the pianist who has played with everyone in the last 50 years.
