A Night In Tunisia by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers (1959)
For my tastes, pianist Bobby Timmons is the star of this group, though it consists of many more widely recognized players: Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter & of course Art Blakey. I am not a fan of the squealing (some couch it more kindly: "edgy, sometimes blistering") horns so common in the hard-bop recordings.
Favorite: "So Tired" a Timmons composition "Yama"
