Moving on from The Doors & #NowListening to #ArtBlackey & the Jazz Messengers #LiveInTokyo from the #TonePoet series. This is one of my favourite reissues from last year from one of my favourite ensembles: #WayneShorter, #BobbyTimmons, #JymieMerritt & the transcendent #LeeMorgan.

#BlueNote have again done a fantastic job with this, quality sleeve, booklet, clean flawless pressing, & dynamic mastering from #BernieGrundman. & the music incredible.

Photo of a record album cover displayed on a wooden stand. 

The cover is a photo of Art Blackley playing the drums. The photo is a close up, we can see his face - grinning in concentration - framed between the crash cymbal and tom tom. 

The background is smoky black and, in the top left hand corner, printed in yellow, ‘Art Blackey and the Jazz Messengers’. Then, below this, in pink typeface, ‘First Flight to Tokyo: The Lost 1961 Recordings’.

Along the righthand edge of this text Japanese lettering runs vertically down. 

Beneath this are listed, in orange type, ‘Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Bobby Timmons, Jymie Merritt’.Photo of a record spinning on the skeletal plinth of a Rega P8 turntable. 

The centre label, blue and white, reads, ‘Blue Note’. The remainder of the lettering is lost in motion blur. 

The tone arm is extended and tracking the first song.
