Composed by saxophonist Wayne Shorter, “On the Ginza” made its first appearance on an album by Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers called “Ugetsu.” As the Messengers' Japanese tour had just ended, two tracks' names were derived from Japan: “Ugetsu” and “On the Ginza.”

Personnel:

Art Blakey, drums
John Gilmore, tenor sax
Lee Morgan, trumpet
John Hicks, piano
Victor Sproles, bass

That's how we grow.

Thanks!
