Art Blakey/Jazz Messengers

Just bought the remastered 24/96 of Moanin'...any other titles that come to mind? I love the stuff with Lee Morgan...any thoughts?

I really like the lee morgan stuff, too. However, believe it or else, my favorite iteration of the Messengers is with Terrence Blanchard, Donald Harrison, Jean Tousaint, Mulgrew Miller, and Lonnie Plaxico. What hard-hitting cats!

A few favorites are: Mosaic, Buhaina's Delight, Witch Doctor, Roots and Herbs, Indestructible and the most intense of all (and that's saying a lot), Free for All. They all have the front line of Wayne Shorter, Curtis Fuller on trombone and either Lee Morgan or Freddie Hubbard. Can't go far wrong with any Blakey Blue Note, IMHO.
