"This particularly ephemeral formation of the Jazz Messengers, led by Benny Golson, is for some, simply the best. Never before has the group achieved this balance between passion, elegance and swing, this ideal between freedom and sophistication. And it will never find again totally this osmosis afterwards. A superbly restored album. Not to be missed. For any reasons." — 5 Stars, Jazz Magazine

On the evening of November 29, 1958, on the stage of the Kurhaus in Scheveningen, when Art Blakey grabs the microphone to say "I would like to take a moment and say good evening on behalf of the Jazz Messengers and myself," everyone knows that he is living a historic moment.

Pianist Bobby Timmons has just created the iconic "Moanin'" and saxophonist Benny Golson the famous "Along Came Betty," which the Jazz Messengers mix with compositions by their illustrious companions, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. The essence of world jazz is on stage, and is taken up again on this edition forgotten until today.

Recorded at the Kurhaus in Scheveningen, Netherlands, Oct. 29, 1958.
