Release Notes:

Perhaps the best known and most loved of Art Blakey's works, The
Big Beat is a testament to the creative progress of one of the
best jazz drummers of all time. Now over 40 years old, The Big
Beat is as thunderous as ever. Here, Blakey combines his rhythm
with tenor saxaphonist Wayne Shorter's brilliant composing to make
what could only be termed a "structurally raw" album. Each track
rips through bebop as quickly as Blakey ripped through drum heads.
"Dat Dere" and "Lester Left Town" stand out as true canons for hot
jazz. Two alternate versons of "It's Only a Paper Moon" round out
the album, both brimming with the fluid integrity of the song and
the drive only Blakey could provide. As one of the few drummers to
step out and lead, not just play backup,Art Blakey created a true
jazz treasure in The Big Beat.
