  1. 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.

  2. You can't go wrong with Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard and Curtis Fuller in your horn section. Great album!

  6. Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - A Day with Art Blakey 1961

    Blakey is joined at Sankei Hall in Tokyo by Wayne Shorter (sax), Lee Morgan (trumpet), Jymie Merritt (bass), and Bobby Timmons (piano).

    This is a radio recording, made by TBS, with decent-to-good sound, and very good performances for an enthusiastic crowd. Artists must have loved their time in Japan…

  7. Art Blakey amava pungolare i suoi musicisti, ma i suoi compagni in questo caso sono assai indisciplinati e non sempre raccolgono le sue proposte!

    Ecco alcune osservazioni su "Like Someone In Love" e i Jazz Messengers.
