someday i hope my future kids are in the comments sections on whatever platform like 'yeah pops used to play us jazz all the time and im still jammin to this in 2072'

Art was Metal he was so aggressively on top of everything. Just smashing everything right. By God

[thomashughes]

I nominate Art Blakey for best drummer ever, vocalizations and all.

[KennyCz]

Jazz is one of the best music sources ever!😀

Some guys came to my Jr High School and performed this jazz song. This is what sparked my interest in Jazz Music...Watching/listening to live Jazz being played is so much better in person that any recording.

Probably the definitive version of "Caravan", if there ever was one. At least in my opinion

[bcc]

Whoa!! Never realized Ron Wilson ripped his wipeout groove practically straight out of this!!!! This was recorded in 1962 and Wipeout 1963.

I was listening to this at age 15...the only white kid in an all-white town...had to keep it a secret...still continues to be one of my all-time favorites...what an ffing

[davidpenn]

Remember this as one of my Dad's albums I used to listen to growing up. He was a Blues guy, but he had his share of great jazz!

[mikagami]

Might just be my favorite recorded version.

[bopbopperono]

Holy fuck, is this ever my new favorite version of Caravan.

Damn Freddie Hubbard -Genius

Guy Warren of Ghana influenced Roach and Blakey but never got credit .Well he got it from Roach though .Blakey spent time in Nigeria, says he wasn’t influenced by the drummers there !? Nigeria is awash with rhythms!
Greats ALL

I was looking for the McCoy Tyner/ Freddie Hubbard version. I gave this a first time full listen. It's different and insanely jammin'. Blam, it's it my playlist:).

[steveo]

This is one Caravan I wouldn't mind being stuck behind on the A23

[rajmohantn]

Art was one of the few drummers who had the command and expertise on all his for limbs. It is not seen in drummers of today who are hailed as great drummers.

[PalazzoRuggero]

Non c'è bisogno di commentare...senza parole!!!!

[ZoeHarvey-wogc]

Lovely the way the drums are tuned with high Tom’s

[alikorvalian]

For me it 's the best version of caravan, even better than Coltrane's.

I gave this the Thumbs Up at 0 minutes 7 seconds… ;)

This is how stereo music should sound.
