Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers Return
by Russ Musto
Together, these three titles documenting four dates, each featuring a different configuration of the Jazz Messengers, clearly demonstrate Art Blakey's ability to instigate his young charges' creativity while maintaining an identifiable group sound that remained open to change. Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers Free for All Blue Note 2004 ...
Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers: 'S Make It
by David Rickert
The Blue Note Jazz Messengers recordings are so highly regarded that the ones the group did for other labels at around the same time tend to fall by the wayside. This shouldn't be the case; Blakey was such a determined taskmaster that he was able to get great performances out of his players on just about ...
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 ...

Eyebrows remained up in amazement as Bobby Watson let loose with a Parkeresque run of notes. Watson's sweet, full tone evokes both ...
Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers
by Samuel Chell
Rare and Rewarding This concert date by Blakey, filmed during the summer of 1976 in Umbria, Italy, is visually stunning. The setting is a make-shift stage in the street, nestled among stucco houses in a space so confined as to suggest an intimate night club. The crowd is attentive and receptive, though not especially enthusiastic. Some ...
Pepper Adams: Urban Dreams
by Derek Taylor
Musicians frequently become associated with the attributes of their instruments. Charles Mingus was hulking and imposing, just like his bass. Art Blakey had the propulsive, authoritative personality of his drums. Paul Desmond was urbane and laidback, just like the sound of his sweet-toned alto. There are, of course, exceptions to these sorts of correlations. ...
