New - Blakey, Art & The Jazz Messengers - Ugetsu - LP

Description

The place was a Broadway cellar that, with characteristic and not very exaggerated swagger, proclaimed itself “”The Jazz Corner of the World.”” The date was mid-June 1963, when the New York post-bop era was still very much in progress. The bandleader was Art Blakey, then – as he continued to be for over two decades – celebrated as a developer of major new talent (the young lineup on this occasion included the likes of Freddie Hubbard and Wayne Shorter). The result, the Jazz Messengers album, Ugetsu, remains a swinging pleasure and a reaffirmation of the belief that this kind of on-the-scene adventure can create some of the most effective recorded jazz.
