This was the first hit from Google, which actually autotyped the last word of my query:

Art Blakey et les Jazz-Messengers au club St. Germain - Wikipedia

So where is Hazel Scott?

[T.D.]

Some background here: Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: Complete Concert at Club Saint-Germain

In the audience but audible in places?

At times, quite audible!

This is funny! I grew up in nearby Evanston (IL) and the song title has always cracked me up.

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!!!

Pretty excellent

That's an interesting combo of musicians.

Thriftstore-find (from the bin !)

Derek And The Ruins (Derek Bailey, Masuda Ryuichi and Yoshida Tatsuya) – Saisoro

A long time since I revisited this one (thanks to Tzadik now being on streaming services). Great record. One of Bailey's most successful of the later pairings.

A cool still morning. Going to be a beautiful day!

Starting off with

Lauren Henderson “Sombras” Brontosaurus Music cd

 

 

This is the first I’ve heard Ms Henderson, bought because Joel Ross is part of the supporting quartet. Wow, what a graceful phrasing and voice that draws one in. Such a pity her other albums are so expensive to collect!

And now

Donna Fuller (with Pete Rugolo and his Orchestra) “My Foolish Heart” Liberty TOCJ Japan Super Bit Jazz Classic lp facsimile cd

From 1957. Nice sounding disc!

Enrico Rava Quintet – Tribe

 

This one is a really great record. Rava really worked magic on ECM. 

[jazzbo]

Groovin’ now with Dr. Lonnie Smith, “Too Damn Hot!” Palmetto Records cd

Drums – Fukushi Tainaka or Gregory Hutchinson
Guitar – Peter Bernstein, Rodney Jones
Organ – Dr. Lonnie Smith

 

 

[Kevin Bresnahan]

I really like that live Jazz Messengers date. I first heard it on that single RCA disc from 1992 but when it came out "complete" on 2 CDs, I had to get that too. They were on fire that night.

Yes, they're all strong, some great players with him too, although I wasn't so taken by the Jackson tribute

I haven't actually heard that one. It's on my to stream list.

September – Zadnja Avantura

A recommendation from the Euro Fusion thread.

New to me too but it sounds very good on initial acquaintance, thank you for posting it.

I buy downloads, I know you don't, so will be buying this one for $7

[jazzbo]

Great! This cd was cheap compared to what I see of her others. . . and I'm not sure there are downloads. If there are that's a good way to go.
