Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Live In Paris '65 - Sam LP

Limited Edition Vinyl LP (2,000 Copies)

A never-before-released hour-long concert from Paris in 1965, issued for the first time with the full permission and cooperation of the Art Blakey Estate and INA (Institut National de l'Audiovisuel). This powerhouse quintet — one of the few undocumented Blakey bands, the New Jazzmen — features Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Jaki Byard on piano, Reggie Workman on bass, and Nathan Davis on saxophone, with Blakey on drums. Hubbard's incendiary playing on "Blue Moon" and the blistering 24-minute "Crisis" shows him at his most innovative.
