5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Hard Bop, December 5, 2002
This review is from: The Jazz Messenger (Audio CD)
This cd comprises the 1st and 2nd official jazz messenger groups.
from 1955 and 1956. About 51 minutes long.
As a Columbia jazz release, it comes with terrific notes about each the style of each composition and who plays on each track.
I am told Blakey played Hard Bop which I have read is bebop with a strong swinging, rhythmic edge.
Absolutely correct. Something a lover of bebop and/or a lover of swing would enjoy.
Great playing, great sound, great production
