Jazz legend Art Blakey live at the Village Vanguard, New York
Virtuoso drummer and driving force behind the hard edged be bop sound that redefined jazz in 1960s, Art Blakey features here in a classic 1982 performance with his band the Jazz Messengers. One of the most influential jazz combos of all time, Blakey's Messengers nurtured jazz pioneers like Donald Byrd, Wayne Shorter, Wynton Marsalis and Branford Marsalis.
"Very few drummers or bandleaders have had the impact on jazz that Art Blakey did, using his explosive playing to drive the whole hard-bop movement and his extraordinary series of bands called the Jazz Messengers"
