Step into jazz history with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: Au Club St. Germain, a remarkable live recording from their concert in Paris on December 21, 1958. This exclusive three LP gatefold album features vinyl in the vibrant colors of the French flag: blue, white, and red. Celebrated for its artistic brilliance, this album won the prestigious Grand Prix du Disque in 1959.
Featuring an all-star lineup including Lee Morgan on trumpet, Benny Golson on saxophone, Bobby Timmons on piano, and Jymie Merrit on double bass, this set captures an unforgettable evening. Drummer Kenny Clarke, who was residing in Paris at the time, joined the group for standout tracks like ‘A Night in Tunisia’ and ‘Ending with the Theme.’ This is truly one of the top rated vinyl records Art Blakey has to offer.
