Art Blakey & His Jazz Messenger – impluse! (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Art Blakey's genius was in his ear for talent. Nearly every musician who passed through the Jazz Messengers went on to define modern jazz, and this 1960 Verve session captures the band at a particularly combustible moment, with Shorter and Morgan both still in their early twenties and already playing with the authority of veterans.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. 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.
