Both of these concerts are issued here on DVD for the first time ever. The first one presents Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers filmed at a studio in Tokyo, Japan. It offers one of the rare opportunities to see Lee Morgan on film (he was 23 at the time). It is also interesting to see a young Wayne Shorter, and talented pianist Bobby Timmons, whose celebrated composition "Moanin'" is performed here by the group. A Japanese big band joins the group for the last two tunes. The second concert is in London, four years later, and includes John Gilmore on tenor sax, John Hicks on piano and Victor Sproles on bass. The announcer is another famous musician, English trumpeter Humphrey Lyttleton.
