Like Someone In Love is a 1960 album by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. It was recorded for the Blue Note label at the Van Gelder Studios in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey and ran 39 minutes and 56 seconds. It was produced by Alfred Lion and the cover design was created by Reid Miles with photograph provided by Francis Wolff.
The title is taken from the popular song of the same name composed in 1944 by Jimmy Van Heusen, with lyrics by Johnny Burke. It was written (along with “Sleigh Ride in July”) for the 1944 film Belle of the Yukon, and has since become a jazz standard.
The personnel on this session were leader and drummer Art Blakey, Lee Morgan on trumpet and flugelhorn, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Bobby Timmons and Jymie Merritt on bass.
The album was recorded in two sessions on August 7 (#3, 4, 6) and August 14 (#1, 2, 5), 1960 rendering the tunes Like Someone in Love, Johnny’s Blue (Morgan), Noise in the Attic (Shorter), Sleeping Dancer Sleep On (Shorter), Giantis (Shorter), and Sleeping Dancer Sleep On (Alternate Take and Bonus Track On CD).

The Jazz Voyager
Nothing like overlooking the City by the Bay as the Jazz Voyager scuttles off to the West Coast for a little jazz at Club Deluxe in the Haight. From the outside, this Haight Street spot looks more like a trashy lounge than a stellar jazz bar situated at 1511 Haight Street (at Clayton), San Francisco, CA 94117. Bringing in local talent event night of the week including live jazz, blues, swing, soul and comedy, serving up wood-fired pizza and slinging solid cocktails, this intimate space is great for dates, but don’t tell too many people: locals like to keep this place on the low.
This swanky retro lounge has bar stools, cushy booths and table seatings where one can sip drinks or dance. Tuesdays call for vintage attire to join the “Church of Frank Sinatra” for a special swing and big band cocktail party. Opens daily at 4:00 pm – 2:00 am, Monday thru Friday and 2:00pm – 2:00am Saturday and Sunday. For more information the number is 415-552-6949 or 415-552-1555. #wannabewhereyouare #jazz #voyager #music
