Art Blakey & the Jazz Messangers - Live in Belgium 1958 (Jazz Icons) 

I stumbled upon art Blakey's work at 3am at night and I've got to say, God I love how quick things/info reaches us thru' the internet/RU-vid.

Like most musicians he was shy. Notice he didn't like the spotlight but he worked it.

YEP!!!!!

@@edcrouse5491 Great observation. I noticed that as well!

That and the heroin he was on

He would tell the new band members. I'll have you guys turned on in two weeks, that's how long it took him to get them all hooked on heroin. And then he'd get all there paychecks.

Yes, yes it is.

Naw, disagree with that shit. You ain't heard much, then, muthrfckr....

I agree with you. All these musicians are top jazz stars. Lee Morgan my favorite trumpet player in f all time. And my grandfather Bunny Berigan. I still like Lee the best.,Art drumming is so good too. Amazing !

they got back at racism pretty damm good !!!! masters !!

@@danielboone8748 ja, neh?!

that's right, mr greenberg, focus on oppression, not artistry

that's cuz of the blues melody and gospel thwang

Thanks for track listing. Where else have I heard "Just by myself"?

@@davidram361 Benny golson was the composer maybe that will help you

Grazie per aver l’elencato!

Nice. Thanks for the Lineup.

Brilliant thanks for this 💯

Totally agree!!! Lee is so powerful!

As a trumpet player, he's one of my largest inspirations. I love the bite and sassy attitude he conveys in his sound.

That’s a sick way of putting it - having conversations with you - I never thought about it like that!

art blakey use to shout "tell them your story!" during his solo's i saw once somewhere online

​@@albertmerlew source: i saw it online somewhere

Scat man

Les McCann used to do that too

erroll garner does this quite a bit as well. erroll is by far the best trio and solo pianist. so colorful. all just opinion though of course.

Almost every jazz pianist player does that at some point

MILT BUCKNER is groaning like a groundhog when playing. That s uncivilized, total anticlimax 4 me ; have 5 originals from him, though, paid dearly w o knowing the ... syndrome

AMED BRO !!!

Glad to hear that some people can still appreciate the brilliance of good improvised hard-bop. Lee Morgan was such a masterful player.

YOU GOT IT MAN , I'M 66 AND DIGGIN IT BECAUSE I'VE PLAYED WITH BRASS AS A RYTHM GUITAR PLAYER AND PLAY ALONG WITH ARTIE'S BAND.... AND IT IS SOLID COOL

Have you ever heard of the South London Jazz Scene? You really should consider listening to bands like Ezra Collective, The Comet is Coming (especially if you like electronic music) or Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (a must)

I like metal,jazz,classic rock,and 100s of other genres but if I enjoy it,I jam it.

Lee is this Best.

Those first two bars of his solo are nothing short of iconic. So fucking bold, almost ear piercing but SO GOOD

You have good taste.

I thougt the very same about Lee Morgan

100% with you brother.

and he composed some great songs as well

He kills it!!!!

@@Servagio absolutely, as did Lee Morgan

@@vinylvipress5529 'I remember Clifford' and 'Killer Joe' to name just the most obvious ones. Love me some of Lee Morgan's own compositions too , but talking merely top 10 for style, he's surpassed by my personal favourites Roy Eldridge, Clifford Brown, Art Farmer, and of course Louis Armstrong

Along Came Betty, Stablemates, and the list goes on...

Those days are NOW!

They have gotten the recognition actually. In the Jazz world all of these guys are recognized very much. Unfortunately today most of the jazz is watered down with some exceptions of course.

agradece que no les cortaron una mano estos belgas...

@@PapaCowboySr it's just that today's people are uncultured. They don't understand that these jazz guys could easily wipe the floor with who they listen to!

Totally totally agree just unbelievable

@@johnl.2314 Coincidently, I'm John L. I chose FishBait to be unique. Enjoy the music!

clifford

Agreed

@@mpytthing200 ah yes RIP I remember Clifford ❤

One of the greatest. Sure, ...and he lives on forever!!!

No, Miles Ahead + 19 recorded in 1957. Miles Davis was unimaginably astronomical time leaps beyond Art Blakey and perhaps any other musician in any genre of his times. An obscure fact, the entire Miles Davis orchestrations with Gil Evans were all actually written, composed, and arranged by Miles Davis not Gil Evans. Why you think Miles Davis an AfroAmerican in the late 1950s walked off with all the recognition, not Gil Evans.

Thank you for your beautiful city and the beautiful people that have supported and always support musicians

@@stedebassett1523 are u sure this was recorded in brussels ? if yes do you where ? thanks

Great stuff!

In America, this is the definition of COOL.

I loved you too Freddy, but I understand. Crystal Joy

Yes, business does not make music, and so much music nowadays has lost all credibility!

So sorry to lose those guys.

Basic pure hard bop which is rare today, unfortunately!

Well said! The definition of COOL! Jazz will always be with us.

that drummer is art blakey

lees primary early influence was clifford and he managed to have lessons with him, so ive read anyway

@Joseph Green + BOOKER LITTLE whom folks always 4get or ignore, died @23, already @ the peak. OUT FRONT w Dolphy says it all, on Mingus's lbl. Max lost him, 2. Only Dorham was left of the subgenre, the soft hardbop ...

It is never too late to do what you love

And Bobby Timmons was just 23

Omg same with my own self. How did you stay out of that devilish habit? I’m dealing with this shit and I love drumming and music so much but pornography eating my dopamine away for worse.

I’m also 20 😔

Focus and goals combined with talent. Those things are all distractions.

Yo, Kurt! You were able to attend a JATP session performance with all those players?! How lucky you were, my friend. Delighted to hear you’re still playing…. Where do you play? Any clubs in NYC?

@@mikewinburn Unfortunately not in NYC but in my home in Switzerland. Anyway my playing us way off and only for home use.

@@kurtvogel2023 - what a beautiful thing being able to play privately (or publicly, for that mattter). My wife (66) plays piano as you… just in private… but couple times a year she plays at a local community show. It’s great to watch. Only playing I do is playing the records of these jazz icons:). Keep on enjoying my friend. Thanks for the conversation!
