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

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)
I listened to Oscar Brown Jr. - Sin & Soul.
Excellent!
It was reissued on the speakers corners label 180 gr LP one week ago on 31. Aug 2011, I will order it.
Thank you for all the friendly answers - I will listen to all your recommendations.

Isochronism, yes sometimes I have luck to find cheap originals but it is seldom.
I am collecting records -sometimes more sometimes less- since 1972 when I was ten yrs. old, ... an ever lasting love of my life. Temporarily its a nearly uncontrollable addiction for me.

But because I live in Germany its not easy to find cheap original US or UK pressings - which are often (not always) preferred against german-pressings.
I buy also many records from US-ebay (and also from dealers), but this is not always a cheap source and we also have to pay the oversea shipping and taxes. ebay-records are sometimes not in very good shape, even if you use a RCM. I do not worry about a few ticks on used records but cant listen to very noisy ones.
I visited beautiful U.S. six times in the 90's (five times in NYC and once in Miami) and also bought records (and Infinity betas) there - but I think NYC is not a good place to find cheap records.

But not only being a music and record-lover I am also a HiFi-enthusiast for a long while. And so sometimes I have great fun with good reissues if the music is really touching me.
Some of my audiophile friends slightly disagree but on my system most of the 45's are sounding fantastic. (But I would always prefer a 33rpm record if it would have the same sonic quality as the 45's.)
On CD I have the soundtrack "Art Blakey - Les Liaisons Dangereuses (1959)".
Every track is nice. Including the "No Hay Problema" track! Never have seen it on vinyl.

Sonically excellent is "Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Keystone 3 (from 1982)" on the Pure Audiophile Label on vinyl.

I do not know if these titles are very important in Blakeys' repertoire but they are very nice to listen.

I am also interested in the live recording "Meet You at the Corner of the World"- can someone comment on it ?
