Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Album Of The Year - Red Vinyl LP Record

A dynamic late-career hard bop masterclass from legendary drummer Art Blakey, capturing the explosive arrival of a 19-year-old Wynton Marsalis.

Originally recorded in Paris in April 1981 and released on the Dutch Timeless label, Album Of The Year reignited both Blakey's career and mainstream interest in acoustic hard bop at the start of the decade. Alongside Marsalis on trumpet, the standout lineup features Robert Watson and Bill Pierce on saxophones, James Williams on piano, and Charles Fambrough on bass.

180g red vinyl reissue pressing.
