A mid-price double Gambit CD featuring Art Blakey’s famous live sessions at the celebrated Club Saint Germain in 1958, with a band line-up that marks the third incarnation of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, with trumpeter Lee Morgan (then only 20 years old), tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, pianist Bobby Timmons and bassist Jymie Merrit. For the last two tunes, bop drum pioneer Kenny Clarke (who was living in Paris) substitutes for Blakey. These sessions were originally released on 3 LPs.

Besides the individual gifts of each member, the group formed one of the most unified, cohesive groups in jazz history. “We play modern jazz”, explained Blakey during a 1958 interview, “and to understand it you must listen. We study, we rehearse. The Jazz Messengers are very serious about getting the music across to you. If you don’t want to listen, maybe the person sitting next to you does.” Total playing time: 127 min
