This classic lineup is a favorite among hard bop fans and this set features them in a rousing performance in front of an excited crowd. It was a triumphant time for the Blakey band, and the audience that packed the Club St. Germain lets them know how much they're appreciated. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Benny Golson was the band's musical director at the time and the group performs three of his most cherished compositions here. The signature \"Blues March\" gets things rolling with a powerful stomp. Also from the Golson book are the classics \"Whisper Not,\" an elegant piece with an atypically subdued groove, and the equally graceful \"Out Of the Past.\" Of course, no Blakey show would be complete without the soulful romp of Bobby Timmons' \"Moanin',\" a piece that electrifies the crowd from its familiar opening riff. Also included in this excellent set are spirited readings of Bird's \"Now's the Time\" and Thelonious Monk's quirky \"Evidence,\" both featuring powerful opening solos by Blakey.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  -- AllMusic.com","brand":"RCA","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49704061960472,"sku":"078636109725","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3894815.jpg?v=1777912670","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/art-blakey-and-the-jazz-messen-1","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
