Buttercorn Lady is a live album by drummer Art Blakey's New Jazz Messengers recorded at The Lighthouse jazz club in 1966 and originally released that year on the Limelight label.[2] [3] The album was the first commercial recording to feature pianist Keith Jarrett, who had joined Blakey's band a few months earlier.[4]
Scott Yanow of Allmusic stated that "this particular version of The Jazz Messengers only had the opportunity to record this one excellent live LP (which is currently out of print) but proved to be a worthy successor to their more acclaimed predecessors".[5]
All compositions are by Chuck Mangione except where noted.
