Our Take

Ah, ART BLAKEY, the legendary jazz drummer whose beats have reverberated around the world for decades. His latest album Buhainain is a true testament to his unparalleled talent and enduring legacy.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world of swirling rhythms and complex melodies. Blakey's precise drumming is the heartbeat of each track, driving the music forward with a relentless energy. His bandmates, including the incredible Hank Mobley on saxophone, effortlessly complement his dynamic playing, creating a sound that is both cohesive and exhilarating.

The album kicks off with the fiery "Moanin'," a classic Blakey composition that showcases his virtuosity on the drums. The tension builds as Mobley's saxophone weaves in and out of the rhythm, creating a sense of urgency that is impossible to ignore.

As the album progresses, Blakey's versatility as a musician becomes increasingly evident. Whether he is laying down intricate grooves on "Along Came Betty" or taking a more laid-back approach on "Blues March," his skill and creativity never cease to amaze.

Overall, Buhainain is a masterclass in jazz music, blending tradition with innovation in a way that only ART BLAKEY can. It is a must-listen for any fan of the genre, and a testament to the enduring brilliance of one of the greatest drummers of all time.
