Blues in the Closet is a 1983 album by jazz pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams, known collectively as The Master Trio.
Pianist Tommy Flanagan and bassist Ron Carter had recorded together numerous times since 1960.[1] In contrast, this recording session (which also resulted in the album The Master Trio) was Flanagan's only recording with drummer Tony Williams.
The album was recorded on June 16 and 17, 1983, at A&R Recording Studio in New York City.[2] The material includes blues, ballads, and bebop compositions. "Sister Cheryl" is a Williams composition.
