Recorded in New York in October 1962, ‘Caravan,’ Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers’ first album for the Riverside label, is a hard bop landmark.
With Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Curtis Fuller (trombone), Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone), Cedar Walton (piano), and bassist Reggie Workman, the Jazz Messengers’ drummer and bandleader injects tremendous energy into a repertoire propelled by its title track, a stunning update of the Juan Tizol and Duke Ellington classic.
This reissue is part of the Original Jazz Classics series: audiophile-quality 180-gm vinyl with obi strip, mastered from the original analog tapes, with original artwork and liner notes.
