Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Night in Tunisia 1961

[@FelixWheatfield]

One of the best lineups in jazz.

[@andymartin8162]

Now THAT'S the best rhythm section in the history of music: Blakey, Shorter, Morgan, Timmons.

[@bktrptmusic]

HOOOOOLLLLLY SHHHHIt!!!! Lee's solo is so intense yet so melodic wtf hahahaha puuuure genius

[@sammydavis1760]

My Dad put me on to this at 11 years old.still in love with it,67 now.

[@walterledzep245]

Great Band! a greeting for you from Argentina

[@zebobchat]

Magnifique.....Epoque fabuleuse qui m'a définitivement conditionné au jazz....Ces musiciens ont ouvert les portes et je m'y suis engouffré...Et je ne m' m'en lasse pas...Il y a tant à découvrir...

[@taisetsusuzuki]

Unbelievable --except that it's Art Blakey, so I get it. I always listened to this version on the Live in Paris '60 CD and wondered how they got the rhythms. So glad I finally get it. We are so lucky to be able to access this kind of precious video. Blakey's power comes through even on this medium.

AMAZING....I saw the messengers when I was 16 years old at Fat Tuesdays in Manhattan which is not there anymore the year was 1981, I'll never forget it...thanks for the great video....

[@dagangstah]

Lee Morgan is going hammer on that cadenza at the end.

[@luiszuluaga6575]

The camera angles and edits lends the visual story to the film shirts of the ‘30s and remind me of a “hot” swing session featuring Duke and his orchestra. Those hits during the bass interlude tho’… 💥🥁✨

[@326Ka]

this is when brothas got down.love art blakey and the messengers

[@JedediahParish]

Goosebumps is right. Good God.

[@Moonfaster]

It´s so good I´m lost for words. And I must say as a drummer it´s encouraging to see that even a master can drop his drum sticks ;)

[@robbie69612]

Left me speachless!!! Great clip, Thanks

[@DosAguas57]

Doesn't get much better than this...

[@CurlyMcAfro]

Art plays that mambo at an unreal speed!

[@DannyPravder]

Incredible

[@rogerroper6769]

Next Level

[@emiliomontehernanz]

Vaya solo de trompeta de Morgan!!!

[@nsidb]

Incredible...

[@funkyflautist]

GREAT band...

[@tehks0032]

@demonking451 Strangely enough, on an album called A Night in Tunisia. But there are two with the same name; the later album (released in 1960) contains these musicians on it.

[@monsieurrenard6245]

To confuse things even more: In the Seventies Art recorded a third album called 'Night in Tunisia'.

[@pinofontanarosa3040]

Wow .... you guys! Did you see that? Of course I was going to splinter Art! No? And then ... it was Shorter young. Nice, a nice video, to me, always young and fresh. Thanks and see you soon. Hello, PinoF.
