Art Blakey & The All Star Messengers (1982/83) [vinyl]

Re-up as requested, new links in comments.

Review by Scott Yanow:
Drummer Art Blakey could have formed quite a few all-star groups drawn exclusively from the alumni of his Jazz Messengers. One of his few one-shot bands of that nature sounds fine on this LP featuring trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, trombonist Curtis Fuller, Benny Golson's tenor, pianist Cedar Walton and bassist Buster Williams. In addition to newer Golson tunes, this unit clearly enjoys themselves playing such classics as "Moanin," "Blues March," "A Night in Tunisia" and "I Remember Clifford." Few surprises occur, but the music should satisfy Blakey's many fans.

    keefc, if you don't have a paid for RS account you have to be patient apparently downloads do complete eventually.

    Thanks Grumpy. I had come to the same conclusion and paid up. All OK now.

    Thanks for all the great music.

    I had a lot of problems getting RapidShare to give me the first file, but eventually it worked.

    Good luck at your new site.
