The Messengers expanded to a sextet with the addition of Curtis Fuller in 1961 and went into their most fruitful period

This Copenhagen live concert from 1962 could be arguably "the best edition of the Jazz Messengers ever" as liner-note author Neil Tesser suggests. Hubbard, Shorter and Fuller on the front line fexing their young muscles were all on their way to stardom. Recorded during their 1962's European tour this album with all unissued recordings will be a valuable addition to Messengers' legacy.Art Blakey:
