1958 – Paris Olympia

1958 – Paris Olympia is a live album by drummer Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers recorded at the Olympia in late 1958 and originally released in 1959 on the French Fontana label as Olympia Concert. Soon reissued versions had several different covers and were also released titled Soul! (1965). In the US it was first issued on Epic in 1960 under the title Paris Concert. Behind the Iron Curtain the album was issued on the East German label Amiga in 1976 titled simply Art Blakey and His Jazz-Messengers. The first digital release on CD in 1987 added two tunes from the same two concert dates, that were originally issued by Fontana on a 7" single (460 642 TE), "Blues March" and "Whisper Not".
