It was the ultimate treat to see Mr. Blakey and his group in person. The word awesome, comes to mind. 😎

This is what I like about this Blue Note era. All the musicians on high rotation from album to album, whether as leaders or sidemen. It’s testimony to Alfred Lion is it not...✌️

Wow what a beautiful performance by art Blakey and the jazz messengers. I was searching for some jazz songs on Spotify and this fine piece was found.

Don Was is doing a Fantastic job at Blue Note Records! I love the Blue Note 80th Anniversary Reissues & the Tone Poet Series Albums, too. So many Great titles.

Did Mobley play on really soft reeds? You can hear it splitting/squeaking quite a lot during his solo.

We have to thank Spotify for make me know this!!!

I think I'm the only teenager who likes this song because it's jazzy.
