Art Blakey – Jazz Messengers (Bonus Tracks) (Gate) [Limited Edition] [180 Gram]

The complete album + 2 bonus tracks – limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl – housed in a gatefold sleeve. The formation heard here marks the third incarnation of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, with trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Bobby Timmons and bassist Jymie Merritt, plus the addition of trombonist Curtis Fuller. ‘Jazz Messengers!!!!’, originally issued on the Impulse!
