 | | Blakey differed from other bop drummers in that his style was almost wholly about the music's physical attributes. | | | Blakey also frequently recorded as a sideman under the leadership of ex-Messengers. | | | In the '60s, when John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman were defining the concept of a jazz avant-garde, few knowledgeable observers would have guessed that in another 30 years the music's mainstream would virtually bypass their innovations, in favor of the hard bop style that free jazz had apparently supplanted. |

| | Art Blakey received some piano lessons at school and by seventh grade was playing music full-time, leading a commercial band. | | | A loud and domineering drummer, Blakey also listens and responds to his soloists. | | | Among his sidemen from 1982 were Terence Blanchard and Donald Harrison, and in 1987 he was leading a septet of young musicians including the trombonist Delfayo Marsalis and the pianist Benny Green. |

| | Blakey and the Messengers, that´s really some of the essencial things I´m lookin for if I listen to jazz (anyway I normally don´t listen to other stuff than jazz). | | | All recordings with Blakey as a sideman, just playing the drums....they are something special and his presence on stage or in the studio lifted everybody up. | | | Blakey gets a lot of praise in most quarters on points 1 and 2 above, and while he also gets a fair acknowledgement on point 3, the acknowledgement of his genius as a drummer somehow sits in the relative background. |

| | In 1947 Blakey put together a band called the Seventeen Messengers, and later made a recording with his Jazz Messengers, which would become his famous band name thereafter. | | | Silver left to form his own band in 1956 and Blakey was forever after the leader of the Jazz Messengers. | | | His use of cross-rhythms and strategic dropping of “bombs” to further accent and drive his bands became his signature, as his drumming became among the most easily recognized sounds in jazz. |

| | Jazz Artist Biography Art Blakey @ jazzreview.com |
| | Art Blakey has recorded with a wide range of musicians outside his own group, bringing urgency and sensitivity to the rhythm sections. | | | The meeting with Monk (Art Blakey's The Jazz Messengers With Thelonious Monk) produced fine, considered music, and both albums featured the unsinkable tenor of Johnny Griffin. | | | With the departure of Silver, the main onus of stoking the boilers fell on Blakey, and subsequent albums with altoists Jackie McLean and trumpeter Bill Hardman show an increase in domination from the drums (Night In Tunisia). |

| | Also worth noting though is that it's not just Blakey here; the other band members played various percussion on the track. | | | And though it's Art Blakey's album, the drums don't overpower the other players either from a production or performance standpoint. | | | This is a very fine jazz album and great jazz drumming album, and that can be a rare combination. |

| | Ray Barretto: Homage to Art Blakey |
| | The rhythm and sound of Ray's conga lines are powerfully reminiscent of the tom tom figures that Blakey incorporated into his playing to give it its distinctive AfroCuban spirit and that spirit comes to life throughout the disc. | | | Though it definitely pays enormous respect to the genre of jazz, as the clave in the title implies, the Latin flavor is prominent in the mix and it is unlikely that a listener would mistake it for a Duke record. | | | Barretto recorded with Blakey as part of the large percussion ensemble featured on the drummer's Holiday for Skins (Blue Note) nearly 45 years ago. |

| | The answer was still being debated in 1971, when he and Blakey, Gillespie and the other members of the Giants of Jazz began their epic world tour for George Wein. | | | Just as Monk's days as Prestige were ending, he and Blakey and Heath joined altoist Gigi Gryce for four tracks, including the title tune, now heard on a very pleasant little album called Nica's Tempo from Savoy. | | | Whether or not you like his music (and we do!), Monk was a genius. |

| | Included on this particular reissue are alternate takes of the first three cuts on the album, though these tracks are not, unfortunately, hidden jewels of reinterpretive insight (read: they were left off of the original album for a reason). | | | But once begun, the melody, the chord changes, and even the solos, are all just an afterthought to the music's driving force. | | | Not coincidentally, they lengthen the disc to 74 minutes and 51 seconds, just shy of a CD's limit, so draw your own conclusions as to Bluebird's selection criteria. |

| | Eschewing the avant-garde, Blakey was ignored by jazz critics in the experimental 1960s and shunned by American audiences in the 1970s, when rock exerted its hegemonic control over the business of pop music. | | | Unable to land a U.S. recording contract, he released numerous albums for European labels in the 1980s and won belated attention from American critics for his brief association with trumpet prodigy Wynton Marsalis. | | | Like many venerable jazz musicians, the drummer Art Blakey hung on long enough to see his approach to music come back into style. |

| | As a sideman Blakey appeared on numerous recordings, most famously on Somethin'Else ('58) by Cannonball Adderley featuring Miles Davis and on Monk's Music by Thelonious Monk ('57). | | | The band continued until well into the eighties. | | | When Silver left the group, taking the entire personel with him, Blakey formed a new band "The Jazz Messengers" which was to become one of the best-known and most successful Jazz ensembles through the last 5 decades of the 20th century. |

| | Chronology of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers |
| | We went to Japan, and the Japanese put together a tour of drummers - Elvin Jones, Art Blakey and Tony Williams, and I was part of that band. | | | So Harold Clark said, 'Man, that's the saddest drummer in the whole world.' Art Blakey was a terrible drummer at that time, he didn't have no technique, he'd lose time (laughter), we had never heard him. | | | [According to Allen, Blakey and Marion Hazel left the band while in Washington, DC, which is in contradiction to Jazz Hot 1/59 which says that Blakey was in Georgia with the band when he was beaten by a policeman and spent several weeks in the hospital.] |

| | Art Blakey |
| | His life is a testmanent to jazz drumming and the importance of finding joy not only in listening to music, but in playing it as well. | | | Blakey exuded in his playing the ability to draw the entire band to himself; he worked with the other musicians to create an intimate sound, but no one told him where he should go with his time playing. | | | Blakey's heavy swinging and relentless playing would stay with him as a myriad of today's top musicians passed through the informal jazz school that was his band. |

| | Art Blakey's African Diaspora |
| | Blakey's dismissive comments about the connection between jazz and African music have often been invoked to undermine the position more commonly taken in the post-Civil Rights era that jazz is deeply connected to Africa. | | | Blakey's music, moreover, tells a different story than his words, especially his recordings in collaboration with Afro-Cuban musicians at the time of Ghana's independence in 1957. | | | Yet Art Blakey was one of the first jazz musicians to travel to Africa (in the late forties) and did so not as a musician on tour, but in order to study religion and philosophy. |

| | Sound judgment - Art Blakey |
| | Blakey, serving notice as the band's official leader, takes solos on every tune tackled by this short-lived edition of the Jazz Messengers, which featured Jackie McLean on alto, Johnny Griffin on tenor and Bill Hardman on trumpet, with bassist Spanky De Brest and pianist Sam Dockery filling out the rhythm section. | | | Even with the estimable McLean providing his usual muscular solos, this was one of Blakey's lesser lineups, and the music is more energetic than inspired. | | | By the time the first five tracks on this collection, originally issued as the Jazz Messengers' "A Night in Tunisia," were recorded in 1957, drummer Art Blakey was the group's only remaining original member, the others having left to front hard-bop units of their own. |
