On March 7, 1965, Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers appeared on the BBC-TVs Jazz 625, hosted by Humphrey Lyttelton. The video of the performance was recently colorized, which gives the musicians enormous dimension and visual personality. The music was always great.

The Jazz Messengers on this date consisted of Art Blakey (d), Lee Morgan (tp), John Gilmore (ts), John Hicks (p) and Victor Sproles (b).
