DVD Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Live In 58

Blakey Art - Live In 58
A major event is taking place in the world of Jazz - the release of the Jazz Icons - DVD Series featuring filmed concerts by the most pivotal and influential jazz artists of the 20th century.
One of the highlights of this series is a staggering one hour Art Blakey concert with what many jazz historians consider to be his most important ensemble, the legendary 1958 Jazz Messengers with Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, Bobby Timmons and Jymie Merritt - a lineup that was only together for six months.
Each of the nine Jazz Icons, DVDs features one or more concerts filmed live in television studios and concert halls throughout Europe during one of the most creative periods in jazz history. None of these performances has ever been officially released, and in many cases, the material was never originally broadcast. In addition, every performance in the Jazz Icons? DVD series has been re-transferred and re-mastered from the best-quality, original masters yielding excellent sound and video.
Each DVD also includes a 16-page booklet with an extensive essay written by an established jazz writer and historian (Ira Gitler, Michael Cuscuna, Will Friedwald, Rob Bowman and others) In addition, each booklet includes previously unseen photos and memorabilia.
