It's a great date, but like I said, unissued here until 1992, and not well known domestically. Maybe the allegedly surreptitious nature of the original recording held it back here? But internationally it's had a good run. Well worth scoping out and imo the best representation of that edition of the Messengers on record Make mine Chico!!!

At times, quite audible!

That's the one. Didn't see a US release of any kind until 1992 on RCA Bluebird as Paris 1958 and then just as a single disc. This is the session that Benny Golson recounts as showing up for the gig and seeing recording microphones set up, asking Blakey what was up with that, and never getting a straight answer - or any extra money. Maybe that was one reason for the fire, along with Hazel Scott!

It is! Live in Paris at St. Germain. Check out the full recordings of that band at that club. Fire!

Hazel Scott is on your side:

There ya' go.

Ok then. Good luck!

Liking it. Liking it just fine, in fact. If we're done with true innovation, this kind of assertive evolved identity music will do just fine as one of the viable options. Produced by Walter Smith III, facilitated by Don Was and crew. Blue Note is having a moment!

So much of the discussion was (and apparently still is) about the Lewis/Jackson relationship, but...Percy Heath and Connie Kay were where the glue was. Those other two guys could yin/yang their asses off, but it only worked because that glue was always stickying.

Turn turn turn.

I've really come to appreciate Lewis' comping. He's always playing riffs and other "big band" type devices that create things that Heath and Kay can bounce off and around in some pretty funky ways.

It's the composer, that's how a composer turns a small group into an organized ensemble. I've never disliked him or the MJ@, but I really think that he last few years of the original run saw the band really finding another level.Starting with Blues at Carnegie Hall all the way through Blues on Bach. From 1966-1973. Things seemed to loosen up, breathe more, and Heath/Kay found some funk. It's by far my most consistently favorite MJQ.

That comping...sublime!

I bought the Mosaic and also picked up the later Atlantics, live and studio. Also the two Apple records, and the OJC(?) collection of the Prestige/Pablo records. I'm not an unqualified/uncritical fan, but when I like them, I like them a lot. For that price, hey... But do not miss Space
