[Machine Translation] Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers, the most popular jazz group in Japan both in name and reality, made 40 performances in Japan, and this is a rare album produced in Japan on the 35th anniversary of their formation. The album is a masterpiece of well-known tunes, in which Blakey's propulsive drumming and the sharp energy of the younger members of the group intersect to create a clear picture of the Messengers in the 1970s, which differed from their golden era. Commentary included. Recorded: February 19, 1970 in Tokyo/Original release date: 1970
