Au Club Saint-Germain / Vol. 1 – Art Blakey Et Les Jazz-Messengers – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Recorded live in 1958 in the intimate, smoky confines of Paris’ legendary Club Saint-Germain, this first volume captures Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers in their most immediate, unguarded form. With the city’s vibrant jazz scene as their backdrop, Blakey’s band—featuring the likes of Lee Morgan and Benny Golson—delivers a set brimming with restless energy and fearless improvisation. Every track is a testament to the ensemble’s chemistry: Morgan’s trumpet lines dart and soar, Golson’s saxophone anchors the melodic explorations, and Blakey’s drumming, as always, is both volcanic and precise.

This album stands as a vivid snapshot of American jazz’s transatlantic journey, illuminating how the music’s pulse captivated European audiences and musicians alike. For collectors, it’s a document of a group at the peak of its creative powers, unfiltered and alive. For listeners, it’s an invitation to experience the immediacy of live jazz in a legendary venue—each note ringing with urgency and invention. Owning this album means holding a piece of jazz history, one that continues to inspire with every spin.
