Art Blakey – A Night At Birdland, Vol. 2

Limited vinyl LP repressing of this classic jazz release. This album is a Blue Note essential and is part of the Blue Note 75 anniversary LP reissue campaign. A Night at Birdland Vol. 2 is a 1954 release by jazz drummer Art Blakey, and a quintet which featured Clifford Brown, Lou Donaldson, Horace Silver and Curly Russell. It was first released by Blue Note Records as a 10″ LP. Two years later, the three 10″ LPs in the set were reissued as two 12″ LPs. Two of the three tracks from the original 10″ Vol. 2 were included in the 12″ Vol. 1. This LP incorporates all three tracks from the 10″ A Night at Birdland Vol. 3 plus a previously unreleased alternate take of “Quicksilver.”
