Buhaina's Delight is a jazz album released by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers in 1963.[6] Produced by Alfred Lion, the album was recorded in two sessions on November 28, 1961 and December 18, 1961 at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.[7] The album was released by Blue Note Records in July 1963 after Blakey had moved to Riverside Records in late 1962.[8]

Background

"Buhaina" is a reference to the Muslim name, Abdullah ibn Buhaina, Blakey received upon conversion to Islam in 1948 while traveling in West Africa. Although he stopped practicing Islam in the 1950s, Blakey continued to use the name, which became titular on two albums.
