San Francisco, 1982: both Wynton and Branford Marsalis in the front line - the brothers together in the Messengers, a short-lived and much-treasured configuration - with Art Blakey conducting the whole affair from the drum throne as only he could. One of the strongest late Messengers documents: the young horns are hungry, the book is sharp, and the Keystone Korner crowd gives it all back. Blakey spent his last decade proving that hard bop was not a museum piece but a living apprenticeship system, and records like this are the evidence. Japanese Concord Jazz edition, well pressed as ever.
