Live at the Village Vanguard CIub, New York 1982
In the case of Art Blakey, the name "Jazz Legend" is whoIly appropriate. Born in 1919, Blakey served his musical apprenticeship in the bands of BilIy Eckstine and Dizzy GilIespie where his reputation as a drummer grew untiI Art's death in 1990. The Jazz Messengers were formed in 1955 and were pivotal in nurturing the hard edged Be-bop sound and the jazz greats of the future such as: Lee Morgan, Benny Golsen, Kenny Dorham, Hank MobIey, Donald Byrd, Johnny Griffin, Wayne Shorter, Wynton MarsaIis and Branford MarsaIis, to name just a few.
When one considers the diversity of this array of talent, it is amazing that Blakey had the strength of personality as a Ieader and musicaI genius to put the stamp of the Jazz Messengers on each of them. This unique DVD aIso includes a set by Johnny Griffin.
