Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - A Night In Tunisia
Not to be confused with the album of the same name they released three years before, 1961’s A Night In Tunisia saw one of the greatest line-ups of Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers coalesce. A hard-bop onslaught opening with a take on Dizzy Gillespie’s titular piece, it saw percussionist Blakey joined by trumpeter Lee Morgan, saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Bobby Timmons and bassist Jymie Merritt.
