ART BLAKEY

AND THE JAZZ MESSENGERS

MEET YOU AT THE JAZZ CORNER OF THE WORLD
Description:
Recorded live at Birdland in New York City. This set collects both installments of Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers' Meet You at the Jazz Corner of the World 1961 in a comprehensive two CD compendium, sporting thoroughly remastered sound by legendary jazz producer/engineer Rudy Van Gelder. Audio conscious consumers should be aware of the distortion that somewhat marred the original vinyl, as well as all subsequent pressings. Unfortunately, it seems to have been inherent in the master tapes. While it occasionally reveals itself during the more dynamic contrasts and passages, the combo's swinging bop and sheer musicality outweigh any and all anomalies. Birdland aka "the jazz corner of the world" produced some of Art Blakey's drums most revered live recordings. In addition to these volumes, enthusiasts are equally encouraged to locate the genre defining A Night at Birdland 1954. For the Meet You at the Jazz Corner of the World sides, listeners fast forward six years to Blakey's latest quintet, which includes the respective talents of Lee Morgan trumpet, Wayne Shorter tenor sax, Bobby Timmons piano, and Jymie Merritt bass all of whom are solidly grounded to Blakey's firm yet profound backbeat
