  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. 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

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

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

  5. 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.
