Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers at Keystone 3. That would be Keystone Korner in San Francisco on Concord Jazz. This is one of the best live jazz recordings known to me. I suggest you purchase it immediately*. It doesn't sound like a Blue Note which Blakey and his various groups recorded on many times both live and in the studio. The soft end is beautifully delineated, repeat that, and the widest dynamics are wider. It sounds like you're in this very club. Having been there multiple times I think I can attest to that. The room sound, wider that it was deep, and even the size of the stage is distinctive in the recording.

*I don't have this on CD but the Concord Jazz label is a pretty dedicated bunch to the real happening. It opens with In Walked Bud but saves the best for last. Enjoy.
