Art Blakey experts please ... ?

A few days ago someone posted this link here:

So beautiful music from Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers with Lee Morgan and Wayne Shorter - maybe around 1957-1965.

Can someone please tell me which title this is ?

Is it recorded on vinyl (studio or live) ?

Any inputs appreciated.
Thanks Alex

The tune is "Dat Dere" composed by Bobby Timmons and recorded by Blakey's Jazz Messengers on the album/cd "The big beat" for the Blue Note label.It is a studio recording.

Oscar Brown wrote lyrics for Dat Dere. A heartworming discussion between a father and young son. Featured in his album "Sin and Soul". I highly recommend!!

Rickie Lee Jones also does an interesting version on her "Pop Pop" LP.

Ohh - bought so many records last year, I already have Big Beat on "Music Matters 45rpm" but it is still sealed ...

Thank you Jazzcourier, Isochronism and Taylor514.

I will listen to Oscar Brown & Rickie Lee Jones Dat Dere.

What else could you recommend from the early Art Blakeys' titles ?

I have these:

-Caravan (33)
-Night In Tunisia (45rpm)

I am waiting for these:

-Like Someone In Love (45rpm)
-Indestructible (45rpm)
