On a sweltering August evening in 1959, guitarist Kenny Burrell joined forces with legendary drummer Art Blakey and an all-star ensemble — including Tina Brooks, Bobby Timmons, Roland Hanna, and Ben Tucker — for a night of hard bop magic at New York City's iconic Five Spot Café. The result was a recording that captured the relaxed yet red-hot energy of the era, with deep grooves and soulful playing that defined the sound of late-50s jazz.
On View At The Five Spot Café: The Complete Masters, released as part of Blue Note's celebrated Tone Poet Vinyl Series, presents the full recorded performances from that legendary session, including six previously unissued tracks never before available. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl with etched runouts and accompanied by a 16-page booklet, this expanded edition offers jazz fans and enthusiasts the most complete version of this classic live date ever released.
