Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers – 1958
Fantastic footage of the 1958 version of the Jazz Messengers performing "I Remember Clifford". Players are Lee Morgan (tp), Benny Golson (sax), Bobby Timmons (p), Jymie Merritt (b) and Art Blakey (d). This might be the most well known version of the group as it is the lineup that appeared on the classic "Moanin'" released this same year.

People build time machines to go back and capture moments like this. Thank you for retrieving this magnificent video. Is this part of a whole concert that was captured on film (kinescope)? If so, I bet you it’s from a European telecast. Anyway, I’m deeply grateful.
