Originally released as two separate LPs on Blue Note and recorded at Manhattan Towers on March 7, 1957, NYC, this LP was the brain child of Art Blakey and founder of Blue Note Records, Alfred Lion. Although Blue Note recorded some of the biggest names in jazz, one of Lion’s favorite artists was Art Blakey. After years of watching Blakey play any chance he got, Lion proposed Blakey do an all drum session for Blue Note. Although many tried to dissuade Lion from doing the album, not seen as commercially viable, he thankfully went ahead and recorded this cutting-edge album. While Art Blakey was in charge of choosing the jazz line-up (Joe Jones, Specs Wright, Herbie Mann,Wendell Marshall, Ray Bryant), the great conguero Sabu Martinez was in charge of choosing the Latin players. The resulting album penned a new chapter in jazz drumming, and is still today is recognized as one of the classics of the genre. Art Blakey himself called the track “Ya Ya” one of his greatest achievements.
