  Verve By Request Series Monthly releases from Verve Label Group’s jazz catalog!

  Handpicked rarities and fan favorites include out-of-print titles and first-ever vinyl pressings

  From the first bars of the immediately recognizable “Alamode,” this album is an explosion of beauty. This first sextet iteration of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers includes a young Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone), Lee Morgan (trumpet), Curtis Fuller (trombone), Bobby Timmons (piano) and Jymie Merritt (bass). The band ferociously pushes the pace with each track, leaving no prisoners in their wake. This Verve By Request title is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man in Detroit.
