Bar-Tokio

The importance of the Blue Note record company can hardly be overstated. The famous blue note-labeled albums recorded the pioneers of bebop after 1945, and then the defining small-band recordings of the hard bop era – these have become the eternal high points of jazz. The soloists of the Modern Art Orchestra, starting from the recordings of the first great era, relive the moments recorded on the blue-and-white label records.

A fresh, elemental energy surges from this album, whose introduction itself is legendary: "We have something special down here in Birdland this evening," announces Pee Wee Marquette into the microphone.
