Art Blakey: Holiday For Skins
by Chris May
An unpleasant odour of Eurocentric condescension has hung over Art Blakey's drum choir projects ever since they were recorded in the late 1950s. Orgy In Rhythm (1957) and Holiday For Skins (1958)--both originally released as two LPs and both now packaged on single CDs, the latter newly available in this Connoisseur edition--have been viewed by some ...
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: Live! at Slug's, NYC
by Samuel Chell
The drums and bass are miked too “hot," and the horns occasionally distort, but there are at least two compelling reasons to listen to this 2006 release of a 1968 on-location Messengers date featuring an unusual Blakey lineup.

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. Released in 1957, the album merged Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers with several other musical forces that proved fruitful, rhythmically and otherwise. With this reissue come several bonus tracks that had appeared ...
For Art's Sake
by Jeff Fitzgerald, Genius
Drummer and bandleader Art Blakey is driving through a small town when he notices a sparsely-attended graveside service being conducted in the hamlet's cemetery. He stops his car and gets out, perhaps paying his respects to some anonymous soul he would now never even meet. As the pastor's service winds down, a call is made for ...
