Our Take

Buckle up, music lovers, because jazz legend Art Blakey is back with a vengeance on his latest album "Indestructible". This man hasn't missed a beat since his heyday in the 1950s, and it's clear that age is nothing but a number for this drumming maestro.

From the moment the first notes of "The Egyptian" hit your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride. Blakey's drumming is as tight as ever, driving the band forward with a ferocity that would put drummers half his age to shame. The rest of the band is no slouch either, with each member delivering knockout performances on every track.

Tracks like "Sortie" and "Calling Miss Khadija" showcase Blakey's uncanny ability to blend traditional jazz elements with his own unique flair. The result is a sound that is at once classic and contemporary, a testament to Blakey's timeless talent.

But it's not all smooth sailing on "Indestructible". The album's more experimental tracks, like "Mr Jin" and "Midnight Blue", may not be to everyone's taste. However, even these moments of musical daring only serve to highlight Blakey's refusal to play it safe.

In the end, "Indestructible" is a triumph for Art Blakey and a testament to his enduring legacy in the world of jazz. So grab a glass of your finest whiskey, sit back, and let the music of this true titan wash over you. Trust us, you won't regret it.
