Our Take

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers' Roots & Herbs is a delightful concoction of bebop magic that will have you grooving in no time. This album is like a musical garden, with each track blooming with vibrant melodies and intricate rhythms. From the infectious swing of "Ping Pong" to the soulful strut of "Look at the Birdie," Art Blakey's drumming is as crisp and punchy as ever, driving the band forward with relentless energy. The Jazz Messengers' impeccable musicianship shines through on every track, with Wayne Shorter's saxophone soaring to new heights and Freddie Hubbard's trumpet adding a touch of brilliance to each tune. The chemistry between the band members is palpable, as they effortlessly weave in and out of each other's solos with grace and precision. Roots & Herbs is a quintessential jazz album that pays homage to the genre's rich history while pushing boundaries and exploring new sounds. It's a testament to Art Blakey's legacy as a pioneer of hard bop and a testament to the enduring power of jazz music. So go ahead, put on your dancing shoes, pour yourself a cocktail, and let the music of Roots & Herbs sweep you off your feet. You won't be disappointed.
