  • Description

    The Messengers expanded to a sextet with the addition of Curtis Fuller in 1961 and went into their most fruitful period. This Copenhagen live concert from 1962 could be arguably "the best edition of the Jazz Messengers ever" as liner-note author Neil Tesser suggests. Hubbard, Shorter and Fuller on the front line flexing their young muscles were all on their way to stardom. Recorded during their 1962's European tour this album with all unissued recordings will be a valuable addition to Messengers' legacy.



    Art Blakey: drums


    Freddie Hubbard: trumpet


    Wayne Shorter tenor saxophone


    Curtis Fuller: trombone


    Cedar Walton: piano
