Art BLAKEY & The Jazz Messengers – Midnight Session 1957


Art BLAKEY & The Jazz Messengers – Midnight Session 1957
Recorded at Carl Fisher Concert Hall, NYC, March 8, 9 1957
MG-12171

Jazz

One of the rarest Art Blakey sessions of the late 50s -- recorded during that brief time when the Jazz Messengers featured Jackie McLean on alto sax! The set's recorded with an edge that's perhaps a bit rougher than some of the other Blakey records during this "many labels" stretch -- but in a way that seems to also bring out some especially great qualities in McLean's horn! Other members here include Bill Hardman on trumpet, Spanky DeBrest on bass, and Sam Dockery on piano -- and the differences here make for a nice change from the usual Blakey! Titles include "Casino", "Potpourri", "The Biddie Griddies", "Ugh", and "Reflections Of Buhania".
