Experience the magic of jazz with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers Featuring Thelonious Monk. This exquisite blue vinyl release includes the complete original album, showcasing the chemistry between two jazz legends. Alongside the main tracks, you’ll find a special live rendition of ‘Bya-Ya’ featuring Monk and Blakey, as well as three rare live recordings from a TV show shortly after the studio session.
This album is particularly significant as it captures Thelonious Monk’s only recording with the esteemed Jazz Messengers. Their deep friendship and mutual understanding are beautifully reflected in this 1957 session, a peak moment in Monk’s illustrious career. The release features the original tracks along with four bonus pieces and a detailed 12-page booklet that delves into their artistic collaboration.
