█░ ░█
█░ Team C64 is back with a good concert, recorded WAY back in ░█
█░ 61, put out to the eager Jazzfans again in 2002. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Here is Art Blakey...... ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Born in 1919, Art Blakey began his musical career, as did many ░█
█░ jazz musicians, in the church. The foster son of a devout Seventh ░█
█░ Day Adventist Family, Art learned the piano as he learned the ░█
█░ Bible, mastering both at an early age. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ░█
█░ But as Art himself told it so many times, his career on the piano ░█
█░ ended at the wrong end of a pistol when the owner of the ░█
█░ Democratic Club ù the Pittsburgh nightclub where he was gigging ù ░█
█░ ordered him off the piano and onto the drums. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Art, then in his early teens and a budding pianist, was usurped by ░█
█░ an equally young, Erroll Garner who, as it turned out, was as ░█
█░ skilled at the piano as Blakey later was at the drums. The upset ░█
█░ turned into ░█
█░ ░█
█░ a blessing for Art, launching a career that spanned six decades ░█
█░ and nurtured the careers of countless other jazz musicians. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ░█
█░ As a young drummer, Art came under the tutelage of legendary ░█
█░ drummer and bandleader Chick Webb, serving as his valet. In 1937, ░█
█░ Art returned to Pittsburgh, forming his own band, teaming up with ░█
█░ Pianist Mary Lou Williams, under whose name the band performed. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ░█
█░ From his Pittsburgh gig, Art made his way through the Jazz world. ░█
█░ In 1939, he began a three-year gig touring with Fletcher ░█
█░ Henderson. After a year in Boston with a steady gig at the Tic Toc ░█
█░ club, he joined the great Billy Eckstine, gigging with the likes ░█
█░ of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Sarah Vaughn. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ░█
█░ In 1948, Art told reporters he had visited Africa, where he ░█
█░ learned polyrhythmic drumming and was introduced to Islam, taking ░█
█░ the name Abdullah Ibn Buhaina. It was in the late '40s that Art ░█
█░ formed his first Jazz Messengers band, a 17-piece big band. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ░█
█░ After a brief gig with Buddy DeFranco, in 1954 Art met up with ░█
█░ pianist Horace Silver, altoist Lou Donaldson, trumpeter Clifford ░█
█░ Brown, and bassist Curly Russell and recorded "live" at Birdland ░█
█░ for Blue Note Records. The following year, Art and Horace Silver ░█
█░ co-founded the quintet that became the Jazz Messengers. In 1956, ░█
█░ Horace Silver left the band to form his own group leaving the ░█
█░ name, the Jazz Messengers, to Art Blakey. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ArtÆs driving rhythms and his incessant two and four beat on the ░█
█░ high hat cymbals were readily identifiable from the outset and ░█
█░ remained a constant throughout 35 years of Jazz Messengers bands. ░█
█░ What changed constantly was a seeming unending supply of talented ░█
█░ sidemen, many of whom went on to become band leaders in their own ░█
█░ right.s ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ░█
█░ In the early years luminaries like Clifford Brown, Hank Mobley and ░█
█░ Jackie McLean rounded out the band. In 1959, tenor saxophonist ░█
█░ Benny Golson joined the quintet and ù at Art's behest ù began ░█
█░ working on the songbook and recruiting what became one of the ░█
█░ timeless Messenger bands ù tenor saxman Wayne Shorter, trumpeter ░█
█░ Lee Morgan, pianist Bobby Timmons and bassist Jymmie Merritt. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ░█
█░ The songs produced from '59 through the early Æ60s became ░█
█░ trademarks for the Messengers ù including Timmon's Moanin', ░█
█░ GolsonÆs Along Came Betty and Blues March and Shorter's Ping Pong. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ░█
█░ By this time, the Messengers had become a mainstay on the jazz ░█
█░ club circuit and began recording on Blue Note Records. They began ░█
█░ touring Europe, with forays into North Africa. In 1960, the ░█
█░ Messengers became the first American Jazz band to play in Japan ░█
█░ for Japanese audiences. That first Japanese tour was a high point ░█
█░ for the band. At the Tokyo airport, the band was greeted by ░█
█░ hundreds of fans as Blues March played over their airport intercom ░█
█░ and their visit was televised nationally. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ░█
█░ In 1961, trombonist Curtis Fuller transformed the Messengers into ░█
█░ a proper sextet, giving the band the opportunity to incorporate a ░█
█░ big band sound into their hard bop repertoire. Throughout the ░█
█░ '60s, the Messengers remained a mainstay on the jazz scene with ░█
█░ jazz greats including Cedar Walton, Chuck Mangione, Keith Jarrett, ░█
█░ Reggie Workman, Lucky Thompson and John Hicks. In the jazz drought ░█
█░ of the '70s, the Messengers remained a strong force, with fewer ░█
█░ recordings, but no less energy. At a time when many jazz musicians ░█
█░ were experimenting with electronics and fusing their music with ░█
█░ pop, the Messengers were a mainstay of straight-ahead jazz. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ArtÆs steadfast belief in jazz music left him well positioned to ░█
█░ take advantage of the music's resurgence in the early '80s. Art ░█
█░ had been working with musicians including trumpeter Valery ░█
█░ Ponomarev, tenor Billy Pierce, alto saxman Bobby Watson and ░█
█░ pianist James Williams. Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis' 1980 entrance ░█
█░ into the band coincided ù and played no small part in ù the ░█
█░ resurgence of the music in the '80s. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Throughout the '80 and until his death in 1990, Art maintained the ░█
█░ integrity of the message, incubating the careers of musicians ░█
█░ including trumpeters Wallace Rooney and Terence Blanchard, ░█
█░ pianists Mulgrew Miller and Donald Brown, bassists Peter ░█
█░ Washington and Lonnie Plaxico and many others. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Art died at the age of 71 after a career that spanned six of the ░█
█░ best decades of jazz music. The messenger has moved on, but his ░█
█░ message lives on in the music of the scores of sidemen whose ░█
█░ careers he nurtured, the many other drummers he mentored and ░█
█░ countless fans who have been blessed to hear the MessengersÆ ░█
█░ music. ░█
