爵士乐史上经典大师级鼓手亚特‧布雷基以铿锵有力之鸣金技法,技冠群伦之错落鼓点及所向披靡之领袖风范纵横爵士乐坛,于精纯咆勃鼎沸炽盛之际引领该乐风浪潮之大步向 前,其挥军的爵士使者(爵士使者)亦将酣畅快意的热情奔放演绎超群绝伦;此外他更是培育一流爵士乐手的教父级人物,因历经该乐团稀链者于日后均能跃升为执牛耳的峥嵘头角……
Art Blakey discovered and championed young talented musicians such as Clifford Brown, Lou Donaldson, Keith Jarrett and Wynton Marsalis to name but a few. But he also delivered the “message” of hard bop through thousands of performances at festivals right down to the smallest club. Lively, joyous performances, the very highest technical standards and somnambulistic music-making characterize this recording. Right from the very start it is clear that these jazz ambassadors have a new message for us. The hard-beat recordings win in lyricism thanks to the gentle sound of Curtis Fuller’s trombone, something that was often missing in the powerful Blue Note sound. Four jazz evergreens give the musicians the time and opportunity to display their soloistic talents. The real climax, however, is to be found in the harmonic layering of the three winds which lend the themes new appeal. The message was broadcasted many times until the death of Art Blakey, but the history of jazz would have been a great deal poorer without these milestone recordings on the Impulse label. Art Blakey certainly knew how to delight his audience with fire, originality, a wealth of ideas and great humor.
