art blakey - a night in tunisia (1lp)

Originally released in 1961 on Blue Note Records, "A Night in Tunisia" features a legendary lineup of Jazz Messengers, including trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Bobby Timmons, and bassist Jymie Merritt.  

The title track, a Dizzy Gillespie composition, is a thrilling exploration of polyrhythms and complex time signatures. "A Night in Tunisia" is a jazz standard for a reason. This single LP packs a powerful punch, transporting you straight to a smoky jazz club filled with the electrifying sounds of one of the greatest hard-bop bands ever assembled.
