Oh man, so much talent on a small stage. They look so nonchalant but oh boy they play so tight. Back in the 80’s I was backpacking in Australia and played this album till it wore out. Never will I tire of this performance!

[mattgleason]

Saw this same line up in San Francisco. Packed to the rafters. I remember Terrance Blanchard’s Solo feature being a complete moment for everyone in the club. Recordings from those gigs became the Live at Kimball’s album.

[nysaxman]

Always loved how Art Blakey continually changed his lineup. A real musical college. This lineup was shortly after the Wynton Marsalis and Branford Marsalis lineup.

[andrewmaynard]

His drumming style is so crisp. Love it!!

[purplebeagle]

As a drummer Art and the other drummers from us in that time period were so groundbreaking.

[dobbsa]

An abundance of talent. Backpacked for a year in buses playing this album over and over. Never tire, beautiful jazz and just admire AB's enthusiasm and love for jazz

[alankirkby]

I recall this Messengers, gig. I was living in London at the time, went three times in one week to listen Art and his musicians.

[ronaldbartlett]

Hi, my son has just sent this as an Easter present, we were there, the club was full so they set up a table and chairs on the stage, about 4 ft from Art's drums, so we had the best view in the house, it was a great night

[monsterjazzlicks]

This is a great gig. I never even knew it was filmed! It's fairly easily available on CD, which I have listened to countless times over two decades.

[johnmartin]

Thanks. It was an unexpected bit of cool to see the young Terence Blanchard.

[skeletonmakesgood]

Wonderful! Thank you for posting this performance.

[hameedabdul-malik]

Rest in Power my Brother you will always be missed but never forgotten Kudos until we meet again

[Frank_Cohen]

What a treat! Can't take my eyes off of AB when he's in the camera's view. Dear, Jazz at Ronnie Scott's , you need to put the personnel and setlist in your annotations. Thanks for the upload, though. Love the show and interview segments.

[cosmking]
