¡First Flight to Tokyo[SHM-CD]
¡Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
Description
This edition features the high-fidelity SHM-CD format. A historic performance that revolutionized jazz culture in Japan. This is a previously unreleased live album of the first tour of Japan in 1961 by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, a famous jazz band led by Art Blakey, a representative drummer of modern jazz. With the strongest lineup including Lee Morgan (tp) and Wayne Shorter (ts), the band performed a heated stage full of representative repertoire such as "Mornin'" and "Blues March". The sound source for this album was recorded for the documentary film "Kuroi Sakuretsu" that followed the tour in Japan, but the film was destroyed due to rights issues, and the whereabouts of the master tape have been unknown for a long time. In 2017, the tape was discovered in the estate of a film crew member, and after several years of research, Blue Note Records in the U.S. has now released it worldwide. The CD booklet includes an interview with Wayne Shorter by Don Was, president of Blue Note Records, as well as interviews with saxophonist Sadao Watanabe and music critic Reiko Yukawa, who knew the tapes at the time, and a contribution by Ryuichiro Nemoto, who discovered the tapes. Art Blakey (ds), Lee Morgan (tp), Wayne Shorter (ts), Bobby Timmons (p), Jimmy Merritt (b) Recorded live at Hibiya Public Hall, Tokyo, January 14, 1961. Co-produced for Reissue by Zev Feldman & David Weiss.
