Feel The Wind

Art Blakey (1919–1990) needs little introduction, the American Jazz drummer
and bandleader made a name for himself in the 1940s & 1950s playing with
contemporaries such as Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. He is
often considered to have been Thelonious Monk’s most empathetic drummer
(he played on both Monk’s first recording session in 1947 and his final one in
1971). In the decades that followed Blakey recorded for all THE labels that
mattered in the field of jazz (Columbia, Blue Note, Atlantic, RCA, Impulse!,
Riverside, Prestige, Verve, etc.). His collaborations were numerous and
include working with equally legendary artists such as Sonny Rollins, Max
Roach, Chet Baker, John Coltrane….and countless others. Art Blakey was a
major figure and a pioneer for modern jazz, he assumed an aggressive swing
drumming style early on in his career and is known as one of the inventors of
the modern bebop style of drumming. Blakey was sampled and remixed by
major acts such as The Black Eyed Peas, Digable Planets, Buscemi, KRSOne and Madlib. The legacy of Art Blakey is not only the music he produced,
but also the opportunities they provided for several future generations of jazz
musicians.
