Tony Allen tribute to Art Blakey Jazz Messengers

Fela Kuti said: without Tony Allen there is no AfroBeat. I had the privilege pay tribute to his friend giant Art Blakey. Long story short I'm glad it happened, so much freedom and unknown becoming known on the spot.

I appreciate all styles of drumming…gospel chops, metal, hiphop, but something about playing less and saying more is why I always come back around to Tony…RIP.

[BlueToneH]

Art Blakey and Ron Carter are my favorites.

This Night in Tunisia can stand with ANY other version of Dizzy’s great song. The people in that audience were so blessed to be there.

Jowee Omicil is now in my personal top ten list of the best altoists.
Huge talent, a distinctive voice.

I just wanted to leave this 'fast access' to this masterpiece... (Politely, if you're wondering...)

[megisynynef]

Seek out the wonderful Jazz Messengers version of "Are you Real?" (the second tune) at the Paris Olympia 1958. Art Blakey, Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, Bobby Timmons, Jimmy Merritt.

Some lucky moments of music, thank you.

[TheMrCompletely]

Fantastic set, thank you very much. A fascinating blend of styles. It's wonderful to hear how Tony's signature sound comes through in this different context. I look forward to hearing the album!

[FRANCODALMONEGODRUMS]

Where does the idea of the jazz drums start? Tony seems to be the father of all drummers in history! Everything started from Africa, and Tony reminds us to it! THANKS TONY!

[chriscoates]

I missed Tony Allen when he played in Perth . Big mistake! Missed seeing one of the all time greats!
Thanks for uploading this. It is fabulous music. Sorry to admit, apart from Tony Allen, I don't know any of these superb players!
