Art Blakey
February and May 1961
I love the soundstage on this album. Lee Morgan was 23 years old on this album, he and his trumpet own the left side of the stage, and Wayne Shorter on Sax owns the Right-hand side of the stage, and the interplay between them throughout the album are amazing.
Blakey on drums and Jymie Merrit on Bass are right of center, and Pianist Bobby Timmons is center stage.
It is a very well-engineered and recorded album. Another recording to be enjoyed through the WOPL’d 700b !
