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.

Thelonious Monk, The London Collection Volume 3, 1989 on Black Lion

Recorded at Chappell Studios in London Nov 15th, 1971 but not released until the late 80s on Black Lion, these recordings are from near the end of his recording and performing career. Monk’s joined by Al McKibbon on bass and Art Blakey on drums.

There are at least 3 volumes in the London Collection as well as a three CD Complete London Collection put out by Black Lion.

My copy—via a private sale—is the 2016 reissue by Org Music on Black Lion labels, pressed at Pallas.

Background of Artist

Arthur Blakey (October 11, 1919 – October 16, 1990) was an American jazz drummer and bandleader. He was also known as Abdullah Ibn Buhaina after he converted to Islam for a short time in the late 1940s.[1]

Blakey made a name for himself in the 1940s in the big bands of Fletcher Henderson and Billy Eckstine. He then worked with bebop musicians Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie. In the mid-1950s, Horace Silver and Blakey formed The Jazz Messengers, a group which he led for the next 35 years. The group was formed as a collective of contemporaries, but over the years the band became known as an incubator for young talent, including Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley, Donald Byrd, Jackie McLean, Johnny Griffin, Curtis Fuller, Chuck Mangione, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Cedar Walton, Woody Shaw, Terence Blanchard, and Wynton Marsalis. The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz calls the Jazz Messengers "the archetypal hard bop group of the late 50s."[2]

#ArtBlakey

Le jazz, je veux dire, la musique bougera toujours, parce qu’elle ne peut pas devenir stagnante. Parce que si elle stagne, c’est comme une rivière : elle nous tuera tous. Elle doit continuer à couler, la musique coulera toujours.

Good morning for some #autumnleaves. Have a few copies of this, went with the original mono press which is in remarkable condition. Probably my cleanest OG #bluenote. So great. #cannonballadderly #milesdavis #hankjones #samjones #artblakey #vinyl #jazz #jazzrecords @vinylrecords

#jazz legends “Cannonball” Adderly, Miles Davis, Hank Jones, Sam Jones and Art Blakey with “Love for Sale” (https://youtu.be/Ai6kQUVkMpM?si=4uK8WFLJ8FsQeQPs) from their phenomenal 1958 album “Somethin’ Else” (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lSTZ6djuLxsJ-GvHQAQRunrQj776X2J6U&si=W2pP3tAePBg9PPcd)

Enjoying a nice early pressing of this classic I found recently.

The Jazz Messengers - At The Cafe Bohemia (Volume 1)

(1959 – US, Repress, Mono, Blue Note – BLP 1507)

#nowplaying #nowspinning #jazz #Jazzcommunity #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #jazzmessengers #artblakey #dougwatkins #HankMobley #HoraceSilver #kennydorham #bluenote

A 1960 session, first released in 1974. Shorter (it's his second session as a leader) is accompanied by Bob Cranshaw (b), Art Blakey (d) and Cedar Walton (p). And what a superb album cover.

Wayne Shorter - Second Genesis

(1975 – Japan, Vee Jay Records – JC-2)

#nowplaying #nowspinning #jazzrecords #jazz #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #wayneshorter #artblakey #bobcranshaw #cedarwalton

Great 1959 session with Clark accompanied by Hank Mobley, Donald Byrd, Paul Chambers and Art Blakey. This Japanese pressing sounds crisp and warm.

Sonny Clark - My Conception

(1979 – Japan, Limited Edition, Blue Note – GXF 3056)

The second Japanese white label promo of Somethin' Else, which came in a King Record sample record sleeve. This 1977 pressing also sounds superb.

Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else

(1977 – Japan, Promo, Blue Note – GXF-3001)

The first of two Japanese white label promo copies (1976 and 1977 pressings) of this 1958 classic album I received yesterday. It sounds superb.

Thelonious Monk, The Unique Thelonious Monk, 1956 on Riverside

Monk recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, with Oscar Pettiford on bass and Art Blakey on drums, produced by Orrin Keepnews and Bill Grauer – originally Riverside RLP 12-209 with a different cover.

My copy, via Academy Records in NYC, is the 1983 reissue in the Original Jazz Classics series, issued by Fantasy which acquired the Riverside catalog in 1972. These are wonderful reissues across Riverside, Prestige, Contemporary and other labels – and well worth picking up whenever you see them in good condition.

If you're a #JazzFan, you already "in love" with Blue Note Records & it will take a lot more lot more than 5 minutes to listen to all of the suggested tracks in this NYT article -- it'll take you over 8 mins to listen to the 1st -- but, take my word for it, it's worth the time.

#WayneShorter's #SpeakNoEvil; #LeeMorgan's #PartyTime; #ArtBlakey's #Pensativa; #BobbyHutherson's #Avis & #CliffordBrown's #EasyLiving are my favorite tracks among those mentioned.

Ike Quebec, Easy Living, 1987 on Blue Note

Though this was first released / issued by Blue Note in 1987, it was actually recorded in 1962 at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in New Jersey, and represents that early 60s jazz era. It was originally going to be issued as BST-84103 – but the tracks on side one did ultimately make it on Blue Note LT-1089 (1981).

Quebec is joined here by fellow tenor sax master Stanley Turrentine and Bennie Green (on the first three tracks) plus Sonny Clark, Milt Hinton, and Art Blakey (on all six).

Unfortunately both Ike Quebec and Sonny Clark died in January of 1963, three days apart.

My copy via Joe’s Albums in Worcester MA.

Second #VinylMePlease record of the month, & I’m #NowSpinning #MonksMusic by the #TheloniusMonk Septet.

Now this is really exceptional stuff from an incredible line up: #ArtBlakey, #ColemanHawkins & #JohnColtrane.

& the music is white hot: Well, You Needn’t, & Off Minor being favourites. Whilst I love Monk It’s Monk’s Time - this is probably my favourite of his albums.

& #RyanKSmith has done a bang on job with this cut - rich & dynamic.

#NowListening #NowPlaying #Vinyl #VinylRecords #Jazz

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.
