New Unreleased Art Blakey


'Just Coolin'...is the new previously unreleased Art Blakey album.  I'm a Lee Morgan fanatic and I'm on a quest to track down every recording he ever appeared on.  If you are a Morgan or Jazz Messenger fan, you need to give this a listen.  Check it out on Pandora or Napster.

Just got around to watching the "Night in Tunisia" link...

That version kills ANY other instrumental version I’ve heard to date.
WOW!

Imagine being in another band scheduled to play AFTER that?

I also like Ella Fitzgerald’s version from "Clap hands, here comes Charlie"

I have a fabulous 1961 mono press that I never get tired of playing.
"If it's on vinyl, you'll be getting an original first pressing of music recorded 60 years ago."

It will not sound like an LP pressed in 1958.

There will be some digital manipulation along the way. It's a 62 year old master tape. I have a mono  period "Moanin" Even though it's not pristine, it sounds better than my 80's reissue. The 80's reissue sounds better than a current press-subjectively.
