I wish I was alive in the 60s, or at least the 80s, so I could've listened to all this beauty live. URGH. Best damn rhythms that can't be replicated by music groups today~
sweinste2
I first heard this tune on my Walkman radio bicycling to work down Minnesota Ave. in DC... and I remember saying to myself What the hell is this killer song? You know that The Messengers were not f**ing around, and old Art was daring anyone to match his groove.
I have seen Art Blakey well over 100 times. Back in the day I went to the Lighthouse Cafe in Hermosa Beach, Ca. every night he was there and many other clubs in Los Angeles. Allways sat right next to his drums. One night at a club called Marty's on the Hill, Blakey acutually came over to my table during a break and said to meWhat's your name? I see you all the time? Wow I was in heaven!!! I bought him a drink and we talked jazz till his next set.
First heard Blakey when I was 15 and wow went out and bought Indistructab l e on the spot. Wore it out bought another one.I love Art Blakey.
melloman70
A fierce drummer who shined but not outplayed the rest of his group. Fantastic rhythems and beats.
Art Blakely was the essence of bop based, blues oriented, 60's jazz. One hundred yearsfrom now musicologist s will still proclaim him as the best of its genre.
a old school buck
I JUST WANT TO GET UP AND DANCE....FAN T A S T I C BEAT....MAKE S U WANT TO SLAP YOUR MOMMA (u know I can't do that)
merrysea5
Who's the tenor on this date?
Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers are one of my all time favorite jazz groups. They hit the pocket and stayed there, never relinquishin g or showed waiver from that committed pocket. Love them!
Get rid of all these chick date ads man. Give me a f**kin break on the ad s**t.
jwoodland887
The Blue Note Records label produced some of the greatest jazz of our time. Art Blakey formed some great bands and provided the foundation for younger artist's to develop and hone their skills. I have come to believe that anything on Blue Note is a collectors item.
Lee Morgan available?
Art is my favorite Jazz drummer ever since I heard him on Free for All simply the best
I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Art Blakey live in New Jersey in the summer of 1988. I will forever feel that I was a part of living history that night.

THIS GIANT OF JAZZ PLAYS WITH FIERCE POWER.
What makes a master a master and a giant a giant :see ART BLAKELY!!!
I remember sitting in my room alone by the hour when I was only 16 and listening to Art Blakely on my new mono Klipschorn my dad and I built together and practicing drums on anything that sounded like a high hat. Good days and good Jazz, still love it
THAT GUY SCREMAN PROPS IN THE BACKGROUND OF ALL JAZZ MESSENGERS' ALBUMS IS ME LOL!!!! "ALRIGHT NAAA...GETT IT, GET IT!!!"
and Blakey always picked the best young talent for his band.
mooyoo.77
greatest rhythm drummer ever, without a doubt-----
maurinab
I miss that time, 1982, there were lot of Jazz Band and Free Concert. That was the time of great music! I even remember seen Art Blakey live, he was the best drum I've ever seen!
jrowland318
In his time, nobody could make his band swing better, harder than Bu.
The "Master" pretty much sums it up! The history of Jazz was hardly 'bout gettin' along - more like 'survival! BF.
mstrickland4
Art Blakey is the man!!!
dvt06
I like Art Blakey. But I don't understand why the first third of his description is about slamming other artists and forms. "Jazz is ..." so many things. Can't we all just get along?
Smoooooth, warm, dramatic!
What can you say about the Blakester. bro. art was truly before his time !
Growing up in NYC, Art Blakey's was one of my favorite bar bands. Always up to something and always COOKIN'!!! Those were the days....
Mr. Sticks. As I have preached for years, the drummer is the pulse of the band w/o us thier be no life, we are the heart beat - thank you for being an inspiration to me in all the years I have been playing drums.

Always and forever the official keeper of time ...

the most swangin jazz drummer period...rip art blakey
Art Blakey has long been one of my favorite musicians. And yes, I use the term 'musician' advisedly; Art Blakey was a musician no matter what others may say about drummers.
I never grow tired of his recordings; they are always challenging and exhilarating . And I always admired his attitude toward other musicians, particularly young musicians. The jazz community owes a lot to the memory and the genius of Art Blakey.
So I am listening to a cut from 1955 and if this music isn't timeless, I am not a jazz afficianado! This is straight ahead-in your face take it or leave it hard bop....Blake y hits hard and knows more than a thing or two about swinging. Too bad he had no successor... b u t then we have the music left by he and the 'Messenger' Groups...
what aboutcuts from gypsy folk tales ? ART IS JUST A GENIUS NUFF SAID.
