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 - Bethlehem Records | 180g, 1LP Released 20th January 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Hard Drive (2022 – Remaster) £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: BMG USA - Bethlehem Records SKU: 4050538816136 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th January 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers The Big Beat Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 19th November 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers The Big Beat £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 3817611 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers The Witch Doctor Jazz | Blue Note Tone Poet | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 4th June 2021 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers The Witch Doctor £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note Tone Poet SKU: 3514860 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 4th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Moanin’ Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 9th April 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Moanin’ £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 746568 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 9th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Roots & Herbs Jazz | Blue Note Tone Poet | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 4th December 2020 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Roots & Herbs £33.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note Tone Poet SKU: 884052 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 4th December 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Just Coolin’ Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 17th July 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Just Coolin’ £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 50865023 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th July 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Buhaina’s Delight Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 10th January 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Buhaina’s Delight £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 838208 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th January 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Meet You At The Jazz Corner Of The World Volume 1 Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 15th November 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Meet You At The Jazz Corner Of The World Volume 1 £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 807386 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Meet You At The Jazz Corner Of The World Volume 2 Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 15th November 2019 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Meet You At The Jazz Corner Of The World Volume 2 £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 807387 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more from Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Start again More from Jazz View Product Quick View Bobby Hutcherson Spiral Jazz | Blue Note | Miscellaneous Released 16th February 2010 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bobby Hutcherson Spiral £13.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: LT996 Formats: Miscellaneous Released Date: 16th February 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View e.s.t.
