1963 LP Riverside RLP-464
1987 CD Original Jazz Classics MR0000764791

Recorded on June 16, 1963 at Birdland, New York City.

Ugetsu: Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers at Birdland is a live jazz album released by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers in October 1963 on Riverside Records. The album marked Riverside's recording debut at the Birdland, one of the most famous and celebrated American jazz clubs. The original LP featured only six tracks. According to the liner notes, Orrin Keepnews, the producer, stated that "there were other performances taped that night that couldn't be fitted into the resulting album". So, when the album was finally released on CD, Keepnews added three new tracks taped that night. The Jazz Messengers' tour in Japan had ended a few months before this live performance, so the band decided to play two tracks as a homage to Japan: the eponymous "Ugetsu" and "On the Ginza".



Art Blakey's 1963 Jazz Messengers (which included trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, tenor-saxophonist Wayne Shorter, trombonist Curtis Fuller, pianist Cedar Walton and bassist Reggie Workman in addition to the drummer-leader) was one of his finest. The CD reissue (which adds two songs to the seven on the original LP) has plenty of strong moments, particularly on "Ping-Pong," Shorter's feature ("I Didn't Know What Time It Was") and the memorable "One by One." This high-quality hard bop session is recommended.
