personnel :

Art Blakey - drums
Chuck Mangione - trumpet

Keith Jarrett - piano
Reggie Workman - bass

This is an unusual edition of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers because it includes pianist Keith Jarrett and trumpeter Chuck Mangione (well before their respective solo careers took off), along with tenor saxophonist Frank Mitchell and bassist Reggie Workman, though this was the only commercial recording by this edition of the band. Mangione contributed several originals to the date and takes many strong solos. The influence of Bill Evans is readily apparent in several of Jarrett's brief solos, while Mitchell commands attention in the explosive romp through "Secret Love." Recorded live at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach, the sound quality of this reissue (originally issued by Limelight under the title Buttercorn Lady) is a bit muddy, probably due to tape deterioration. In any case, this historical curiosity is worth the search for devoted fans of Art Blakey, though this CD reissue is no longer in print because of the demise of the Drive Archive label.~ Ken Dryden
