Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers – Olympia Concert 1959 (Fontana)

Label : Fontana

Value :

An excellent live set by the Jazz Messengers -- recorded in Paris in 1958, but with a hard heavy groove that's right up there with their best Blue Note work. The group at this time Blakey, Bobby Timmons, Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, and Jymie Merritt plays hard, heavy, and straight ahead, with no other interference from outside players -- and the track list is a batch of classic Jazz Messenger standards, stretched out a bit longer than usual, with plenty of solo space!
