Artist:Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
Song:A Night In Tunisia
Album:A Night In Tunisia
Any discussion of jazz greats has to include drummer Art Blakey. He was a great hard bop drummer and his music remained consistent over several decades. The other thing is he used his group The Jazz Messengers to introduce young musicians that would go on to their own careers. This 1960 album included Lee Morgan on trumpet, Wayne Shorter on tenor sax & Bobby Timmons on piano. It's a hard driving version of the Dizzy Gillespie classic A Night In Tunisia. Blue Note reissued a remastered version in 2005 as part of their Rudy Van Gelder Master series. Van Gelder was the recording engineer who worked on all the Blue Note sessions.
