I saw that group in '64.  Remember being really impressed by Workman.

This below image was my first Blue Note back in about 1955 or 1956 when it was first released. It was instrumental in influencing my lifelong love for the music of Horace Silver, Hank Mobley, Kenny Dorham and Art Blakey.

 

Also, the first date with the very young women who was to become my wife was to hear Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers in the Minor Key in Detroit. The year was 1960 or 1961. The band was Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, Curtis Fuller, Cedar Walton, Jymie Merritt and Art Blakey

What a great foundation for a lasting relationship!  It would have been 1961 with that group, the Morgan/Timmons edition was still in place throughout 1960 and into 1961.
