1970's Dark Blue Label with black "b" Reissue of Classic 1961 Blue Note Release of bandleader/Drum Master Art Blakey Entitled a Night in Tunisia with the Jazz Messengers, Produced by Alfred Lion, Recording by Rudy Van Gelder, Cover Design by Reid Miles, Photos by Francis Wolff - "Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers hit their artistic peak with the powerful A Night in Tunisia. This incarnation of the group included Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Bobby Timmons, and Jymie Merritt along with their leader, Blakey. As the Messengers entered their most fruitful period for Blue Note, Blakey drove his men relentlessly with powerful grooves, heavy swinging, and shouts of encouragement. This session documents the full power of his assertive leadership and the masterful playing of his sidemen, each rising to legendary status under his tutelage. Long known for their creative arrangements within the context of small-group jazz, the Messengers push the definition of hard bop and blues to the limit here. Dizzy Gillespie's title track is evidence enough of the creative power of this group: Blakey's steam shovel-like mambo, Morgan and Shorter's wailing solos, and a dramatic ending make for a stunning piece. Shorter's contribution includes the swinging "Sincerely Diana." The soulful Bobby Timmons presents his delightful "So Tired," a bluesy number in the spirit of his classic "Dat Dere." Also included are Lee Morgan's smoky "Yama," the bouncing "Kozo's Waltz," and the classic "When Your Lover Has Gone." - Spectacular Personnel for the Jazz Messengers Feature the Legendary Art Blakey on Drums, the Great Lee Morgan on Trumpet, the Brilliant Wayne Shorter on Tenor Saxophone, the Amazing Bobby Timmons on Piano and the Talented Jymie Merritt on Bass! - Selections on Side 1 Are the Dizzy Gillespie/Frank Paparelli Standard a Night in Tunisia at 11 Minutes 14 Seconds & the Wayne Shorter Penned Sincerely Diana - Tracks for Side 2 Consist of the Bobby Timmons Song So Tired and Original Lee Morgan Compositions Yama, Kozo's Waltz - Used Copy, Cover Excellent, Record Excellent - Stereo Recording, Product Code BST-84049 - California Residents Add 10.25% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
