Featuring the second incarnation of Art Blakelys Jazz Messengers, A Night In Tunisia was recorded in two sessions in April 1957. This album would be the only time that alto saxophonist Jackie McLean and tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin recorded together, shortly before Griffin would become a full time member of the Messengers in place of McLean. The album also features Bill Hardman (trumpet), Sam Dockery (piano) and Spanky DeBrest (bass), all powered by Arts distinctive drumming.
