Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers: Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers LP (Verve By Request Series)
$37.99
Impulse!, 1961
From the first bars of the immediately recognizable “Alamode”, this album is an explosion of beauty. This first sextet iteration of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers includes a young Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone), Lee Morgan (trumpet), Curtis Fuller (trombone), Bobby Timmons (piano) and Jymie Merritt (bass). The band ferociously pushes the pace with each track, leaving no prisoners in their wake.
