Art Blakey was the new hero on the Paris jazz scene, thanks to his Olympia concert on November 22nd 1958, and his subsequent appearances at the Club St. Germain. People swore by his Blues March and Moanin, so why not get him to do the soundtrack for the film Molinaro just finished? The only problem, albeit a major one, was that time was short, so an original score was out of the question: the Jazz Messengers would have to preach the good word by other means. Fortunately, the bands tenor and arranger, Benny Golson, had become an expect in the art of making something new out of something old, and he did it with equal talent and intelligence.Except for three originals, the musical sequences of the film are actually fragments from the Messengers book, but in adapted versions; Whisper Not, for example, can be discerned underneath Ne Chuchote Pas. It was an extremely hazardous processbut the result turned out to be remarkable!!!
