Product Description
This album by one of the best editions of the Jazz Messengers with Wayne Shorter, Lee Morgan, Bobby Timmons and Jymie Merritt was recorded at the same August 1960 sessions that produced "A Night In Tunisia". The title tune was a regular feature in the band's live sets, but the real gems here are Lee Morgan's "Johnny Blue" and three obscure, but marvelous Wayne Shorter tunes. An alternate take of "Sleeping Dancer Dance On" has been added to the original album.

* bonus track, not part of the original LP.

Recorded on August 7 (#3,4,6) & August 14 (#1, 2, 5), 1960 at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey

Great compilation.......2002-05-10

I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.

A disappointment.......2001-12-15

There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.
