Link to the Show / Show Notes
Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers was one of the most influential bands in the evolution of jazz. He is often credited with pioneering the hard-bop movement, taking the be-bop form and placing greater emphasis on the rhythm, giving the music a hard driving swing. We saw a Blakey tribute band in concert last night in Hartford that was the impetus for this playlist. We follow that set with a World-Jazz set in honor of International Jazz Day, May 23.
