The band is on fire. This is jazz music at its finest

The band playing percussion and Blakey going absolute destructo on Night in Tunisia wowww

[schrisdellopoulos]

Lee Morgan was so young and beautiful. Art put together the best bebop band since Miles Quintet. Go man go!
I love YouTube 😅

One of the best Lee Morgan solos (stoked by the volcano Mrs Blakey's little boy Arturo) ever on Close Your Eyes

I have seen this over the years so many times and it continually thrills. Such mastery by all. Buhaina! The incredible ensemble playing, fire breathing Lee! The adventurous Wayne already foreshadowing what was to come. Walter with his nod to Bud and Bobby Timmons and the supple but strong Jymie. Incredible bassist. Visually the colorization negatively affects the clarity and the edits are choppy on this upload but I digress.

Bu with his Ludwig Supraphonic LM400 destroying everything!
