Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Drum Suite, 1957 on Columbia

Art Blakey is joined here (at least on the A-side) by Cuban drummers Candido and Sabu, with Ray Bryant, Oscar Pettiford, and Charles Wright. On the B side, Jackie McLean, Spanky DeBrest, Sam Dockery, and Bill Hardman join as the Jazz Messengers.

My copy—via private sale—is a 1950s Columbia Hollywood plant pressing with the 6-eye label. The artist is credited as “The Art Blakey Percussion Ensemble” on both labels but the cover credits the B side to the Jazz Messengers.

Another Sunday & I’m #NowSpinning #Indestructible by #ArtBlakey & the Jazz Messengers.

This adds #CurtisFuller bringing Mingus-eque vibes on the trombone, but, imo, #WayneShorter is the star unleashing some killer sax. Plus it has the irrepressible #LeeMorgan who is worth the price of entry alone.

This #record is cut by #KevinGray as part of the #BlueNote Classics series which, in a world of spiraling #vinyl costs, still represents great value.

Long day & in need of a pick me up & so I’m #NowSpinning #TheBigBeat by #ArtBlakey and the Jazz Messengers.

#Moanin’ is my favourite Blakey album with this a very close second. The lineup here is peerless, #LeeMorgan, #BobbyTimmons, #WayneShorter, & Blakey just smokes.

Every track is a winner & It’s Only A Paper Moon is one hell of a way to sign off.

This is another #KevinGray cut from the consistently great #BlueNote Classics series.
