Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: Live at Slug's, NYC
by David Rickert
Many of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers left the group to build successful careers of their own. However, in between Lee Morgan and Wayne Shorter and the Marsalises was this curious 1968 band, made up largely of talented unknowns. This particular version of the band never made it into the studio, and this live recording from Slug's ...
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: Drum Suite
by Jim Santella
The all-star lineup on Drum Suite gives the album high marks before one note of music is played. It's a piece of history.

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: Blakey's Beat
by John Kelman
Art Blakey may never have strayed far from the music that captured his spirit in his youth, namely the more soulful and simple-themed variation on bebop called hard bop, but throughout the course of his fifty-plus year career, he was a constant, most notably with his Jazz Messengers band, starting in '53 and continuing until literally ...

Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers: The Witch Doctor
by Jim Santella
With Wayne Shorter and Lee Morgan in the front line, this was one of Art Blakey’s best Jazz Messenger units. Bobby Timmons, of course, could swing the section from start to finish. Shorter, Morgan, and Timmons were with the Jazz Messengers together through most of 1960 and 1961. The Witch Doctor was recorded March 14, 1961. ...
Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers: Roots And Herbs
by Jim Santella
Recorded early in 1961, not released on LP until nine years later, and now available as a CD, Roots And Herbs carries on the tradition of hard bop and those unique features that set the genre apart from other forms of jazz.
