Orgy in Rhythm, Volumes One & Two are a pair of separate but related albums by American jazz drummer Art Blakey, recorded on March 7, 1957 and released on Blue Note later that same year in May and October respectively. [7]
It is early example of a percussion-oriented jazz record, a format Blakey had first explored on the A-side to Drum Suite released on Columbia the month before Orgy in Rhythm, Volume One.[ citation needed]
In the 1997 limited-edition CD reissue by Blue Note, it was consolidated into a single volume. [8]
