Our Take

Indie rock? No, indie jazz, mate. The legendary Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers are back with a reissue of their 1961 classic "A Day With Art Blakey," and let me tell you, it's a proper banger. This metallic silver vinyl pressing from Indies is as shiny and delightful as a freshly polished trumpet.

From the moment you drop the needle on this bad boy, you're transported to a smokey jazz club in the heart of New York City. Blakey's drumming is so sharp and precise, it's like a knife slicing through the chaos of everyday life. The Jazz Messengers, with their intricate melodies and tight harmonies, provide the perfect backdrop for Blakey's powerhouse performance.

Tracks like "A Little Busy" and "Triple Threat" showcase the band's incredible musicianship and chemistry. Each member gets a chance to shine, from Lee Morgan's blazing trumpet solos to Bobby Timmons' funky piano licks. It's like a musical round-robin, with everyone taking turns to show off their skills.

The real star of the show, though, is Blakey himself. His drumming is like a thunderstorm Ð relentless, powerful, and impossible to ignore. He drives the band forward with an intensity that is both awe-inspiring and intimidating.

So grab yourself a glass of whisky, dim the lights, and let Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. This reissue is a must-have for any jazz aficionado, and a reminder of why Blakey is considered one of the all-time greats. Cheers, mate.
