Ugetsu, a 1963 live set from the original Birdland, finds Art Blakey & His Jazz Messengers at the peak of their powers with one of their strongest lineups. The group primarily recorded sessions for Alfred Lion's Blue Note label, but this Riverside date is as strong as any of their previous outings. Having acquired the services of trombonist Curtis Fuller in 1961, the Messengers' front line was its most robust ever, with Wayne Shorter and Freddie Hubbard consistently turning in some of their best performances. Rounding out the rhythm section with Blakey are the equally powerful Reggie Workman and Cedar Walton. The Messengers' set list finds the majority of tunes written by musical director Wayne Shorter, as well as a few choice numbers from Curtis Fuller and Cedar Walton's title cut. The group is spurred on by a very receptive crowd, tempos and solos are spirited for the most part, and Blakey seems exceptionally energetic despite not performing a single extended solo himself. His between-song banter is equally entertaining. Overall, the group is precise, expressive, and swinging hard, delivering its message from the grandest platform of the time.

Ugetsu, una grabación en directo de 1963 en el Birdland original, muestra a Art Blakey & His Jazz Messengers en la cima de su carrera con una de sus formaciones más sólidas. El grupo grabó principalmente sesiones para el sello Blue Note de Alfred Lion, pero esta fecha de Riverside es tan sólida como cualquiera de sus grabaciones anteriores. Habiendo adquirido los servicios del trombonista Curtis Fuller en 1961, la primera línea de los Messengers era la más robusta de su historia, con Wayne Shorter y Freddie Hubbard realizando constantemente algunas de sus mejores actuaciones. Completan la sección rítmica con Blakey los igualmente poderosos Reggie Workman y Cedar Walton. El repertorio de The Messengers contiene la mayoría de temas escritos por el director musical Wayne Shorter, así como algunos de Curtis Fuller y Cedar Walton. El grupo está animado por un público muy receptivo, los tempos y los solos son enérgicos en su mayor parte, y Blakey parece excepcionalmente enérgico a pesar de no interpretar ni un solo extenso. Sus bromas entre canciones son igualmente entretenidas. En general, el grupo es preciso, expresivo y se mueve con fuerza, transmitiendo su mensaje desde la plataforma más grandiosa de la época.
