A Night at Birdland Vol. 1 is a 1954 release by jazz artist Art Blakey. It was first released by Blue Note Records (#32146-2) and has seen subsequent reissuses on CD since 1987 from that same label. All of the music has also since been reissued as part of a Clifford Brown box set for Mosaic Records. With the July 31, 2001 release, two additional tracks were added, an alternate take of Wee-Dot and an improvisational piece titled Blues.
