Our Take

ART BLAKEY Meet You At The Jazz Corner is a groovy, toe-tapping delight that will have you bopping along in no time. From the moment the first note hits your ears, you'll be transported to a smoky jazz club, surrounded by cool cats and smooth sounds.

Blakey's drumming is impeccable as always, driving each track forward with a relentless energy that is impossible to resist. The rest of the band is equally on point, with each member shining in their own right while still coming together to create a cohesive and captivating sound.

Tracks like "Moanin'" and "Along Came Betty" showcase Blakey's ability to blend hard bop with a touch of soul, resulting in a sound that is both timeless and fresh. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, making it impossible not to get swept up in the music.

The album's only downfall is its brevity - at just over 30 minutes long, it leaves you wanting more. But hey, isn't that the sign of a great album? Better to leave 'em wanting more than overstaying your welcome.

Overall, ART BLAKEY Meet You At The Jazz Corner is a must-listen for any fans of classic jazz. It's a masterclass in musicianship and a damn good time to boot. So grab a glass of your favourite cocktail, dim the lights, and let yourself be transported to the jazz corner - you won't regret it.
