Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers were firing on all cylinders when they recorded Buhaina's Delight, released by Blue Note in 1963 and powered by one of the greatest frontlines the band ever assembled.
Cut at Van Gelder Studio in late 1961 with producer Alfred Lion, the album captures the expanded sextet lineup: Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone and Wayne Shorter on tenor, with Cedar Walton on piano and Jymie Merritt on bass. Three horns gave Blakey's band a richer, more orchestral sound, and Shorter's writing was becoming the group's secret weapon.
Backstage Sally kicks off with a punchy, bluesy strut, the horns stacked in tight harmony over Blakey's thunderous drums. Contemplation, a Shorter composition, slows everything into a moody, beautifully voiced waltz that hints at the sophistication he would bring to his own Blue Note records.
Reincarnation Blues swings hard with a playful, gospel-tinged bounce, and the band's take on Moon River turns the movie ballad into a buoyant, swinging showcase for the horns. Throughout, Blakey drives the band with press rolls and cymbal crashes that never let the energy dip.
Lesser known than Mosaic or Free For All, Buhaina's Delight is a hidden gem of the Messengers' golden era and a must for any hard bop shelf.
