1961 live album by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers
Paris Jam Session Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers with guest appearances by Bud Powell and Barney Wilen , recorded at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris on 18 December 1959.[ 1] Fontana (France) originally, by EmArcy in 1961, and subsequently by Verve on CD as part of their Jazz in Paris series.[ 2]
Reception
Allmusic gave the album 4½ stars with Ken Dryden's review stating: "This is one of the essential live dates in Art Blakey's rather extensive discography".[ 3] The Guardian 's John Fordham rated the album 3 stars out of 5, saying, "the heated live-show informality is really stoked by Blakey's elemental (or maybe just mental) drumming and some spine-tingling improvising by the young Wayne Shorter, unintentional reed-squeaks and all".[ 4]
