Blakey, Art -& The Jazz Messengers-

In My Prime (2lp)

This album contains eight tracks recorded at the CI Recording Studios in New York in December 1977 that became known as the 'In My Prime' sessions. These recordings were originally released on the Dutch jazz label Timeless Records. As the leader of The Jazz Messengers, drummer Art Blakey was still discovering new talent. In addition to altoist Bobby Watson (John Hicks, Charles Mingus), trumpeter Valery Ponomarev (Blue Note), bassist Dennis Irwin (Art Farmer), percussionist Ray Mantilla (Herbie Mann, Max Roach), Curtis Fuller (Quincy Jones, John Coltrane) on trombone and David Schnitter (Freddie Hubbard, Charles Earland) on tenor, this particular session also introduced pianist James Williams (Donald Byrd, Dizzy Gillespie) to the fold. Tidal Waves Music presents the vinyl reissue on a deluxe 180g 2LP edition, strictly limited to 2500 copies worldwide, comes with obi strip and is packaged in a gatefold jacket featuring the original artworks and session shots from Mark Bug Zester, Don Diesveld and Hans Harzheim. Including the original liner notes written by Chip Stern.
