Our Take

Ah, Art Blakey and Thelonious Monk, two titans of jazz coming together on this reissue of their classic collaboration. With two bonus tracks and pressed on vibrant red vinyl, this album is sure to catch the eye of any jazz aficionado.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a smoky jazz club in 1950s New York City. Blakey's thunderous drumming perfectly complements Monk's innovative piano playing, creating a sound that is both timeless and exhilarating.

The chemistry between these two legends is undeniable, with each track showcasing their undeniable talent and boundless creativity. From the frenetic energy of "Evidence" to the laid-back groove of "Osie Mae," every song on this album is a masterpiece in its own right.

But it's not just Blakey and Monk who shine on this record - the whole Jazz Messengers ensemble is on fire, with each member bringing their A-game to every performance. The result is a truly electrifying listening experience that will leave you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers.

So grab a glass of whisky, dim the lights, and let Art Blakey and Thelonious Monk take you on a musical journey like no other. This album is a must-have for any jazz lover and a welcome addition to any vinyl collection. Cheers to these jazz maestros for creating a timeless masterpiece that still resonates with listeners today.
