Apparently they were in Europe at one time:

As of July 2008, Pandora was in talks with major music labels regarding royalty issues to allow a return to the European market. Costs remain a concern because of European royalty standards and a low demand for paid music services.^[37]

I wonder why Pandors doesn't go global.

^I confused Mal with Cedar Walton, hehe. But he barely appears on some alternate takes, I think.

Flanagan and Kelly for sure, I forget about Mal Waldron. I could look it up, but I'm lazy. Wink

The Flanagan cut you posted has a little more going on then Fukui, I think my assesment was not good, sounds like Fukui is more similar to blues jazz guys like Gene Harris.

I brought up Flanagan because I thought you had posted something earlier about preferring his bluesy work with Coltrane over Tyner's piano playing.

Hearing that cut you posted reminds me that Flanagan was a little more bop, just as you mentioned.

Nice cut too.

Oh, I do love Tyner's work with Coltrane, although listening to most of Trane's stuff with McCoy, I didn't like much that he repeated those so magical chords and simple melodies he did, like when he plays in My Favorite Thing.

I'm never sure who pianists came before McCoy. Flanagan, Kelly, Mal Waldron?

Oh you kill me there, John, I'm not well aware of Flanagan's work. Embarrassed

Listening to this I see where you're coming from.

Isn't that fast playing more akin to be-bop? I mean, Art Tatum or Bud Powell started this?

^yeah, I've been discovering a lot of great Japanese jazz from the 70s. I'm not a big fan of the drum-sound of those times (and much less of the 80s) in jazz, but the piano and bass sound crystal clear and are good at that, in my opinion.
