Art Blakey - Clifford Brown - Jazz Messengers - A Night at Birdland

Description: SecondTakeJazzArt presents... a high-quality unframed 16"x24" poster featuring original artwork commemorating some of the most famous live performances in jazz history! (other sizes & options available at https://secondtakejazzart.com) ================ The Art Blakey Quintet a.k.a. The Jazz Messengers (billed as "The Blue Note All-Stars") "A Night at Birdland" the legendary February 21, 1954 gig at Birdland in New York City featuring: Clifford Brown – trumpet Lou Donaldson – alto sax Horace Silver – piano Curly Russell – bass Art Blakey – drums Originally conceived as a session for "The Blue Note All-Stars," this was the first appearance on record of what would come to be known as Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers. Art Blakey reputedly tipped Birdland's resident emcee, Pee Wee Marquette, extra to introduce the band instead as "the great Art Blakey and his wonderful group." And thus The Art Blakey Quintet's "A Night at Birdland" was born! Produced by Alfred Lion and engineered by Rudy Van Gelder for Blue Note Records, this session – one of the earliest hard bop albums – was a first-of-its-kind on-site recording, captured professionally on-location for commercial release. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Night_at_Birdland,_Vols._1%E2%80%933 ================ ABOUT OUR POSTERS… ================================ Four very important points... 1) First and foremost, all our posters are MODERN CREATIONS — they are NOT vintage pieces or antiques! Our posters are printed on-demand from our own ORIGINAL art files that we've created ourselves within the last few years. (Read on for more details.) 2) We offer our posters UNFRAMED ONLY! Our preview images demonstrate how our posters look framed in various real-world environments; however, we do NOT include frames when you order our posters! Offering our posters UNFRAMED ONLY helps us keep our production and shipping prices lower, and it allows our customers to choose their own frame styles and materials to match their taste, décor, and budget. 3) Our preview images are FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY. Please note that digital images are typically more vibrant than printed posters. Also, due to printing variations and editorial decisions, you can expect that the colors, details, etc. in the actual posters you receive may vary somewhat from their representations here. (Some preview images we show have been WATERMARKED for security purposes. Don't worry — these marks do NOT appear on the finished product.) 4) Do NOT use dry mount or heat press processes on our posters — doing so may DAMAGE them! Our posters are special digital prints that are prepared using vivid inks and finishes that can make them HEAT-SENSITIVE. (If you wish to frame or mount our posters, we recommend a light application of a gentle archival spray adhesive instead.) And where do these posters come from? Our mission at SecondTakeJazzArt is to produce high-quality visuals that commemorate celebrated live performances by jazz legends from the distant past. We particularly focus on renowned club or concert appearances that have been preserved by fan-favorite recordings — legendary shows for which little to no advertising ephemera survives (or was ever created). SecondTakeJazzArt strives to fill in these gaps with carefully researched, highly detailed facsimiles of said missing ephemera. Our poster designs combine the verifiable performance information with vintage source materials (imagery, branding, type, etc.) and original elements (derived from or inspired by contemporaneous advertisements of the same/similar events in posters, handbills, newspapers, magazines, festival programs, album covers, etc.). In general, the posters we've created for SecondTakeJazzArt fall into three categories: 1) the majority are our own wholly new original designs; 2) others are our own original enhanced designs (new versions of vintage poster designs that we've significantly edited, adjusted, reconfigured, etc. ourselves); and 3) a few are our own original upgraded designs (new "straight" reproductions/reprints of vintage posters that we've painstakingly retouched ourselves). SecondTakeJazzArt produces decorative tributes that aim to delight the viewer, not forgeries or fakes that aim to deceive them. Our goals are to either faithfully recreate and/or authentically mimic something close to what might have been or reproduce in higher fidelity what's largely been lost. We sincerely hope you do enjoy our posters, and find them to be worthy constituents of your home or office décor. All posters designed and printed in the U.S.A.
