Orgy in Rhythm
Orgy in Rhythm is an album by drummer Art Blakey.[7] It is early example of a percussion-oriented jazz record, a format Blakey had first explored in 1956 on the first side of his Drum Suite LP for Columbia. Orgy in Rhythm was recorded in 1957 for Blue Note Records, and released the same year as two LPs, Volume One and Volume Two (BLP 1554/1555). In the 1997 limited-edition CD reissue by Blue Note, it was consolidated into a single volume.
