Here's an awesome throwback performance by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers with a solo from 1959. This is from the piece, "No Problem." Notice Art playing match grip! And what's with the crazy polyrhythm at the beginning? What's the math on that??? The players include Lee Morgan (t), Wayne Shorter (ts), Walter Davis Jr (p), Jymie Merritt (b). Did you ever see art perform in person? See more fun, inspiring interviews and drumming/percussion videos of many genres from over 130 countries around
