Wynton Marsalis - Art Blakey Is Jazz flac album

With Blakey's masterful drumming nicely underpinned by the bass work of Charles Fambrough, this nightclub appearance catches his style already well-formed and finds him equally adept at ballad work as his performances on "Angel Eyes," "Round About Midnight" and "My Funny Valentine" easily attest. Blakey at the end of a long and fruitful career and Wynton at the start of his, a nice match-up, indeed. As an added bonus, top flight liner notes from William Ruhlmann complete the package.

Audio CD, February 16, 1999. Any group led by Art Blakey guarantees swinging music. This album does not disappoint. The swinging title track features beautifully played sax and trumpet solos that are both bluesy and lively. 3 people found this helpful.

Blakey led or co-led the group from the outset.
