The group on this recording features key figures of the 1950s jazz scene including Kenny Dorham (trumpet), Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Horace Silver (piano) and Doug Watkins (bass). Their sound is built on driving rhythms, soulful blues-inflected lines and spirited collective improvisation. Over time the Jazz Messengers became a proving ground for young improvisers and a defining voice of the hard bop movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis release captures the band live at the Cafe Bohemia, recorded November 23, 1955, and issued on Blue Note as a compact disc reissue. The performance showcases the band in peak form with extended solos and repertoire that mixes standards and original compositions. The recording has been presented in monaural sound and includes additional tracks not found on the original LP. It is an essential document of mid-1950s hard bop and of Art Blakey's influential band.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded on November 23, 1955. Produced by Alfred Lion.
