Founded by iconic drummer Art Blakey in 1955, the group existed in one form or another for almost 35 years, right up until Blakey passed away in 1990. Many of the greatest jazz players ever have played in the combo, including Wayne Shorter, Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, Donald Byrd, Horace Silver, and many others. A Night in Tunisia was recorded around 1958 by the second iteration of The Jazz Messengers, featuring of course founding member Art Blakey on drums and percussion, Bill Hardman on trumpet, Sam Dockery on piano, Jimmy DeBrest on bass, Johnny Griffin on tenor sax, and Ferris Bender a.k.a. Jackie McLean on alto sax. This is the only known instance that the extremely prolific McLean would use an alias, most likely due to contractual obligations elsewhere. This album features the only recorded instances of Griffin and McLean playing together. The set includes lengthy interpretation of Dizzy Gillespie's \"A Night in Tunisia\", the Blakey and McLean-penned \"Couldn't It Be You?\" and a rendition of Sonny Rollins' tune \"Evans\", and should be on the shelves of every 50s hard bop lover. A Night in Tunisia is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on orange coloured vinyl and comes in a deluxe sleeve with linen laminate finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eTRACKS:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e A Night in Tunisia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Off the Wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Theory of Art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Couldn't It Be You?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Evans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long will shipping take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is In Stock\/Inbound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is on Pre-Order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is on Backorder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship within 1 day of being available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship near or on release date, as they are checked in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship as they become available, and may take 2-12 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"BLAKEY,ART \u0026 THE JAZZ MESSENGERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46775046832286,"sku":"8719262044319","price":33.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/8321\/8590\/files\/8719262044319.jpg?v=1777532463","url":"https:\/\/soundslikevinyl.com\/products\/blakey-art-the-jazz-messengers-night-in-tunisia-orange-vinyl-180g-numbered-vinyl-lp","provider":"SoundsLikeVinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
