1955 live album by The Jazz Messengers
At the Cafe Bohemia, Vol. 2 is a 1955 live album release by the Jazz Messengers . It was first released by Blue Note Records . This record featured the original incarnation of The Jazz Messengers, one of Art Blakey 's most endearing bands, and was the second of two volumes recorded at Café Bohemia , a famous night club in Greenwich Village in New York, New York on November 23, 1955.
Reception [ ]
This album, which sees the first version of The Jazz Messengers on record, was noted as not "match[ing] the intensity which the quintet secured at Birdland ."[2] Tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, in particular, is noted as "a somewhat unfocused stylist."[2] However, trumpeter Kenny Dorham is seen as an "elusive brilliance [that] was seldom so extensively captured" and the playing in general "is just as absorbing" as the Birdland albums and has "influenced jazz up to present time."[2] [3]
With the July 31, 2001 CD re-issue, three additional tracks from this night were added: "Just One for Those Things", "Hank´s Symphony" and "Gone With The Wind".
