Orgy in Rhythm, Volumes One & Two are two separate but related albums by 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. In the 1997 limited-edition CD reissue by Blue Note, it was consolidated into a single volume.
