Recorded in early 1956 byRudy Van Gelderand released on Savoy in the same yearThe Jazz Messageis the fruit of one of those great studio sessions based on the grouping of some high class jazz musicians. Here are, among others,Hank Mobleyon tenor sax,Donald Byrdon trumpet,Horace Silveron piano, andKenny Clarkeon drums. This is highly swinging hard bop performed by a bunch of stellar musicians at the peak of their game. A must for all straight jazz fans out there.
