I regret, I have missed this gig. The LP came out 1980 and I have bought it: But I have met Marion Brown often here in Göttingen, because he lived always temporarily in Gunter Hampel´s house. The recording was reissued as CD in 1990 and I have got it from Marion: Marion Brown, Göttingen, July 1, 1990

! Recorded February 14, 1980 in Le Dreher Club, Paris. February 10, 1980 they have had a gig in the Theaterkeller, Göttingen!

McCoy Tyner and Art Blakey were announced the same evening, McCoy Tyner first, Art Blakey later. Art Blakey was told that McCoy Tyner would be late. So Art Blakey should start. But McCoy Tyner had not arrived too late. On the way to the stage Art Blakey met McCoy Tyner and was not amused. Maybe this is why Art Blakey has featured 'his' pianist eminently.

I saw Art Blakey & The Jazzmessengers live June 7, 1987 (Pentecost) at Jazztime Hildesheim (Germany). Line-up: Art Blakey (dr), Wallace Roney (tp), Julian Priester (tb), Javon Jackson (ts), Benny Green (p), Peter Washington (b). I remember that Art Blakey was visibly impressed by Benny Green's playing.
