Beyond the Blue Bird

Beyond the Blue Bird is an album by jazz pianist Tommy Flanagan, with guitarist Kenny Burrell, bassist George Mraz, and drummer Lewis Nash.

Flanagan's first musical residence, in 1949, was at the Blue Bird Inn in Detroit. As a teenager, he also played with guitarist Kenny Burrell. After two years of military service, Flanagan again became house pianist at the Blue Bird, and again worked with Burrell.

The album was recorded on April 29 and 30, 1990, at Studio 44, in Monster, the Netherlands.

The AllMusic reviewer concluded that the album is "a perfect introduction to this tasteful, swinging and creative (within the bop mainstream) pianist."
