Review 1
Art Blakey is recalled as one of the finest musicians and bandleaders in the history of jazz. Along with Max Roach, he established the drums as a front-line instrument, wielding his sticks with astonishing skill to propel the hard-bop of his acclaimed Jazz Messengers combo for 36 years. Blakey on drums was no less than a polyrhythmic force of nature, always alert to interactions with piano and the horns, and always filling his music with jubilation. His acclaimed press rolls were seemingly preternatural and his touch on cymbals impeccable. Blakey also excelled as a bandleader/instructor who nurtured three generations of young talent, allowing them to find their own creative wings before embarking on solo careers. |
