- and the Jazz Messengers (1959). AKA: Moanin’, this LP combines elements of blues, gospel, and Dixie march in a hard bop framework, highlighted by pianist Bobby Timmons’ infectious title track and drummer Blakey’s percussive mayhem on “The Drum Thunder Suite.” Trumpeter Lee Morgan adds his typical scene-chewing solos on “Are You Real” and “Come Rain or Come Shine,” and tenor man Benny Golson evokes big-band fanfares over a soulful groove.

In case there's anyone here who loves classic as much as I do, here is a track I've been listening to a lot lately.

'jazz washes away the dust of everyday life.'
/#history/#inktober: another jazz juggernaut, arthur blakey (born in 1919 to a single mum who died soon after art arrived) was raised by a family friend. he first gravitated toward the piano, but soon found his true groove with the drums. he rose up through the ranks playing alongside bebop monsters charlie parker, dizzy gillespie & thelonious monk. whilst on tour in the ‘40s with fletcher henderson, art was so viciously beaten by some georgia cops that he required surgery & had a metal plate inserted into his skull for his trouble. a few years on from this ordeal, off to africa he went. it’s there that he converted to islam & changed his name to abdullah ibn buhaina (or bu, endearingly). his time in africa undoubtedly inspired the album, ‘the freedom rider’ which he released with his jazz messengers in 1964.
