"I've never played in front of an audience like this," Art Blakey declared in tears
It was November 22, 1958, and he had just come off stage after one of the "Jazz Wednesdays" concerts at the Olympia in Paris
For a first appearance of the "Jazz Messengers," the musicians had made a strong impression
Not content with drawing a huge crowd away from the Boulevard des Capucines (the demand was so great that a second concert had to be organized on December 17), they had converted everyone to "hard bop" in two concerts, putting jazzers, jazz lovers and onlookers alike in high spirits
