The Good Stuff

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers

FIRST FLIGHT TO TOKYO

Recorded / Released by Blue Note   1961 / 2021   2CD set

Excellent packaging and absolutely Outstanding Booklet.

This set is a previously unissued gig by one of the greatest lineups in the long history of Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers -- Blakey, drums; Bobby Timmons, piano; Wayne Shorter, saxophone; Lee Morgan, trumpet; Jymie Merrit, bass. First Flight to Tokyo: The Lost 1961 Recordings are drawn from the final shows of the band's first tour of Japan. They were professionally recorded on a Nagra tape recorder to serve as a soundtrack for a documentary film that was never completed. At some point over the decades, the original tapes were transferred to quarter-inch tape reels, cataloged, shelved, and sat some more -- they were never really "lost."  ---  All Music Guide
