Title:
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Night At Birdland
- Vol 1 Personnel: Art Blakey (drums), Clifford Brown (trumpet), Lou Donaldson (alto sax), Horace Silver (piano), Curly Russell (bass). Recorded: 1954 Label: Blue Note Comments: In effect, any Art Blakey record on Blue Note is a classic. We have chosen a sampling of three here, all highlighting different players that moved through the great drummer's band. Blakey, also known for his Muslim name, Buhaina, has a unique place in jazz history as the foremost "proving ground" for young up and coming players. His bands provided a jazz "laboratory" setting where his musical directors could write specifically for the band, thus spawning some of the great original tunes of jazz, such as "Along Came Betty", by Benny Golson, "Moanin'" by Bobby Timmons, and "Lester Left Town," by Wayne Shorter. |
