ART BLAKEY & THE JAZZ MESSENGERS - CD NEWPORT JAZZ FESTIVAL '59

Popis - NEWPORT JAZZ FESTIVAL '59:
This early incarnation of Art Blakey's seminal post-bop band is
bristling with energy and ideas. There are barnstorming solos
from "middleweight tenor champ" Hank Mobley and the most
exciting trumpeter of his generation, Lee Morgan. The nascent
soul-jazz stylings of pianist Bobby Timmons can be heard on his
classic composition Moanin' and Blakey's power and finesse drive the whole set towards the inevitable 'A Night In Tunisia.' Performed at the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport, RI on July 4th 1959 and broadcast by Voice Of America radio.
