Art Blakey & Les Jazz Messengers: Au Club Saint Germain

The wonderful concert of Art Blakey Club Saint Germain in Paris on December 21, 1958: this is the complete version on Gatefold (before it existed by the others in 3 LP singles). 3 vinyls of three different colors which represent the French flag: blue, white and red.
Au Club Saint Germain è un disco memorabile, vincitore di numerosi premi tra cui il prestigioso Grand Prix du Disque nel 1959 dall'Académie Charles Cros. Art Blakey e i suoi Jazz Messengers sono qui con Lee Morgan ancora (sui vent'anni) alla tromba, Benny Golson al sassofono, Bobby Timmons al pianoforte e Jymie Merrit al contrabbasso.
Drummer Kenny Clarke was living in Paris at the time and in the songs “A Night In Tunisia” and “Ending With The Theme”, he joined the group that evening for a session that will go down in jazz history.
