Blakey, Art -ft. Bud Powell & Lee Morgan-

Blakey In Paris

This is Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers, with guests Bud Powell - piano and Barney Wilen - alto sax, caught live at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris in1959. At that time Blakey's Messengers were no less than Lee Morgan - trumpet, Wayne Shorter - tenor sax, Walter Davis Jr. - piano and Jymmy Meritt - bass. In other words one of the greatest hard bop combos ever, a pool of great young individuals under the direction of one of the most influential drummers and band leaders in the history of jazz. No need to add that 'Blakey In Paris' is regarded as an essential release in Blakey's extensive discography. Limited to 300 copies on clear vinyl.
