Editor's info

The original Jazz Messengers (Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley, Horace Silver, Doug Watkins and Blakey) created a soulful, intelligent approach to modern jazz that came to be called hard bop. Each volume of these great live sessions includes three bonus tracks added to the historic albums.

Reviewer: Patrick, Québec from Québec
Good live record... i think it's the first lp featuring hank mobley with the messenger! A piece of cake!

Smokin'
Reviewer: Reggie from Los Angeles, California
These guys really had a great sound! I think they were all on the same page. This is classic bebop recording! A must for any true "orinthologist".

happy times
Reviewer: ben weis from
the best massangers album without a doubt.

noche memorable
Reviewer: Joan Mena from Barcelona-Spain
Para los afortunados que esa noche estaban en el local tuvo que ser una sesión memorable, para los que no estuvimos en el Bohemia, nos queda el consuelo de la grabación.Pura magia

Hard bop at it's peak
Reviewer: Sid Catlett from Atthens, Greece
All the elements that the jazz messengers are famous for, you'll find in this recording. Great compositions and even greater interpretation that shows the exuberance of talent in this lineup. Proud to have it on my collection.

the dorham sax a like
Reviewer: roberto bergami from Antwerp
the way dorham is playing these trumpet solo's is really unique. so fast, hard and precise, almost as a sax player, is beyond ... the way mobley steps up and blakey supports tops off the performance. together with adderley, parker and miles live albums, a must have.

An Excellent Recording of Superb Live Jazz
Reviewer: James Socorro from Vancouver B.C. Canada
The many incarnations of Art Blakey's music all rely on the same ingredients; that is a group of up and coming musicians of uncommon talent, honed to excellence under the uncompromising tutelage of Blakey. For this reason, lackluster performances are a rare occurence, and this album upholds the rule. "At the Cafe Bohemia" is excellently recorded, and captures a 'happening' night of superb music that both showcases the individuality of the members, while equally displaying the fine arrangements of the band as a whole. This is no more apparent that on "Prince Albert", Kenny Dorham's tune built on the chords of "All the Things You Are". Dorham and Mobley both weave solos that are both mellifluous and driving, while the trading fours demonstrates the cohesiveness that make The Messengers one of the few, if not the only, in the class of the Davis' Bands. Blakey's drumming is subtle yet full of the inimitable vigour that has imbued all of his bands with the same irrepresible spirit.
