Miraculously unearthed sound recordings of the first Japan tour, recorded for a documentary film! This is a previously unreleased live album of the first Japan tour in 1961 by the famous jazz band \"Art Blakey \u0026amp; The Jazz Messengers\" led by Art Blakey, one of the most famous drummers of modern jazz. The strongest lineup, featuring Lee Morgan (tp) and Wayne Shorter (ts), performed a white-hot stage full of representative repertoire such as \"Mornin'\" and \"Blues March\". This was the first full-fledged modern jazz group to perform in Japan, and it was a memorable event in the history of Japanese music, triggering an unprecedented jazz boom throughout the country. Their music was so popular among the general public at the time that there is still an episode of a delivery man from a soba noodle shop whistling \"Mornin\" as he pedaled his bicycle, contributing greatly to the development of Japanese jazz culture that has continued to the present day.The album was originally recorded for the documentary film \"Black Sacramento,\" which followed the tour of Japan, but the film was cancelled due to rights issues and the film was destroyed, and the whereabouts of the master tapes were unknown for many years, The CD booklet includes an interview with Wayne Shorter by Don Was, president of Blue Note Records, as well as interviews with Sadao Watanabe, saxophonist, Reiko Yukawa, music critic, and Art Blakey's son, Takashi Blakey, who knew the film at the time.
