Jazz / Hard Bop

Grand Prix Du Disque De L'académie Charles Cros 1959. Recorded at the celebrated Club Saint Germain, the formation presented here marks the third incarnation of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, with trumpeter Lee Morgan (then only 20 years old), tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, pianist Bobby Timmons and bassist Jymie Merrit. For the last two tunes, bop drum pioneer Kenny Clarke (who was living in Paris) substitutes Blakey. Besides the individual gifts of each member, the group forms a compact unit with a cohesive sound. “We play modern jazz”, explained Blakey during a 1958 interview, “and to understand it you mus listen. We study, we rehearse. The Jazz Messengers are very serious about getting the music across to you. If you don’t want to listen, maybe the person sitting next to you does.” Personnel: Art Blakey - drums Lee Morgan - trumpet Benny Golson - tenor saxophone Bobby Timmons - piano Jymie Merritt - bass Kenny Clarke - drums (on 3-4) Gana M’Bow -congas (on 3-4) tracklist: 01 - Along Came Manon 02 - Out Of The Past 03 - A Night In Tunisia 04 - Ending With The Theme
