Review

Down Beat (p.72) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]here's intense expression that crackles with energy, and the band is intimate with the repertoire."
JazzTimes (p.145) - "Harper turns in some dramatic, emotionally charged tenor work on a sparse arrangement of 'Angel Eyes'...'

Title Note

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers: Julian Priester (tenor saxophone); Bill Hardman (trumpet); Ronnie Matthews (piano); Lawrence Evans (bass instrument); Art Blakey (drums); Billy Harper.

Recording information: Slug's, New York, New York (08/1968).

This live outing by Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers was recorded at the New York City venue Slug's in 1968. (Incidentally, former Jazz Messenger Lee Morgan would meet his demise at the same club four years later.) Blakey leads his proficient band through a four-song set that includes two tunes penned by Slide Hampton (the propulsive "New World" and the slinky "Slide No. 2"), displaying his trademark nuanced, neo-swing drumming. While the entire ensemble is in top-notch form, Blakey, trumpeter Bill Hardman, and trombonist Julian Priester particularly stand out with their fierce soloing, making this a welcome addition to the extensive catalogue of the Jazz Messengers.
