Ugetsu: Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers at Birdland is a live jazz album by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers released on Riverside Records in October 1963. The album marked Riverside's recording debut at Birdland, one of the most famous and celebrated American jazz clubs.
The original LP had six tracks and producer Orrin Keepnews stated in the liner notes that "there were other performances taped that night that couldn't be fitted into the resulting album". When the album was released on CD, Keepnews added three new tracks that were recorded that night. The Jazz Messengers' tour in Japan had ended a few months before this live performance; then the band decided to play two tracks as a homage to Japan: the eponymous "Ugetsu" and "On the Ginza".
It was remastered in 2010 and reissued the following year by Original Jazz Classics, with a previously unissued track, "Conception".
