Liner Note Author: Marcel Romano. Photographer: J. Corbeau. The bulk of this CD has the soundtrack of a 1958 French film titled Des Femmes Disparaissent. Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (which at the time consisted of the drummer-leader, trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor-saxophonist Benny Golson, pianist Bobby Timmons and bassist Jymie Merritt) perform 18 mostly brief sketches that were co-written by Golson and Blakey. Although the music is generally inconclusive and fragmented, fans of the Jazz Messengers will find these performances of some interest. The last five selections are from a different French film of the period, Les Tricherus. One number has Lionel Hampton (on drums) jamming in a quartet with clarinetist Mezz Mezzrow. The other songs have pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Gus Johnson joined on one tune apiece by tenor-saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, trumpeters Roy Eldridge and Dizzy Gillespie and tenorman Stan Getz; Eldridge is also part of the Getz track. Of these, Dizzy on "Mic's Jump" fares best. But overall the historical curiosities on this CD are not all that essential. ~ Scott Yanow
