Blakey is known as a powerful musician and a vital groover; his brand of bluesy, funky hard bop was and continues to be profoundly influential on mainstream jazz. For more than 30 years his band, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, included many young musicians who went on to become prominent names in jazz. Recorded in 1956, Art Blakey’s Drum Suite is a wonderful hybrid of African, Latin, and hard bop rhythms that prefigures the concept of Afro-beat by at least a decade, and the sheer energy, not to mention its very special and fresh-sounding intimacy, make it especially astounding. Even more amazing is that the three parts of the suite — Blakey’s “The Sacrifice,” Ray Bryant’s “Cubano Chant,” and Oscar Pettiford’s “Oscalypso” — were recorded straight through live, and were only intended to be a pre-take run-through, but as is obvious here, Blakey and company nailed the whole thing right out of the box. Groundbreaking for its time, and still sounding vital, powerful, and visionary, the Drum Suite album is somewhat of a lost masterpiece that deserves a fresh audience Artist Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Genre Jazz Label Impex Records Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country United States of America Track Listings A1 The Sacrifice 05:17 A2 Cubano Chant 03:58 A3 Oscalypso 08:41 B1 Nica's Tempo 08:17 B2 Dee's Dilemma 08:26 B3 Just For Marty 05:47 Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Caravan Jazz | Craft Recordings | 180g, 1LP Released 1st March 2024 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Caravan £35.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Craft Recordings SKU: CR717 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Hard Drive (2022 – Remaster) Jazz | BMG USA -
