4 people don't understand the intensity of this music. INSANE!

[oMarginall]

WTF 4 people are fucking donig!?

[mathewjetdeleon]

phatass bass!



[QuikShotJigen]

Buddy and Art = On their own level...Can't be compared to other drummers...End of story thank you for listening...

[fall12527]

Jimmy Merit fully support JM. Because A.Brakey is a symbol of hard bop. Sometimes his pulse is not steady. He is a good bassist.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

There are things Art does that Buddy can't do. There are things Buddy does that Art can't do. Who cares, really? Just listen and enjoy them both.

[VJSco]

nice frenzzzzy

[nadir4aver]

GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!

[iamadog]

Art, Buddy, Max, Gene ... they're ALL great. It's not a competition.

If you're listening for who's better, you're missing it, BIG TIME.

[PositivelyBored]

@iamadog

I agree about within the musicians, there is no competition. Music is not a competition.

HOWEVER, to say if you are listening for who's better and therefore "missing it", I disagree. Everyones tastes and interests occurs within the person, as in , what they prefer and what their own taste and discretion dictates. Listening to what you think is better IS where it's at, because it is more likely to be something you will be successful mimmicking and putting into you.

[Earthdogbonzo3]

@iamadog Yeah . . . All great musicians, different styles and tastes, chops and more chops . . . . Yeah, this is what it's about!

[fenilefrinaoral]

Im new in the jazz groove,l like find more Hard Bop...

most aristis?? who?

[julesmonendrumface]

Hank Mobley, Horace silver

[Nireves33]

@fenilefrinaoral Go for John Coltrane, either Miles Davis Quintet, Paul Chambers has some good work as a band leader, Sonny Rollins, and Clifford Brown.

[Nireves33]

@fenilefrinaoral And to add to that list because I forgot some awesome artists, Cannonball Adderley, Thelonious Monk, Dexter Gordon, and Freddie Hubbard.

[hithatrollz]

@fenilefrinaoral John Coltrane, he'll blow your head off. 

[hawkinsforlifelester]

Jymie Merritt, what sense of rythme! Fantastic bass player, beautiful sound

[BMO50]

AB! Once of the GREATEST DRUMMERS of all time. BAR NONE!! We don't none of the innovators now like we did back then. Think about it. How would like to a trumpeteer back in those days with Miles, Dizzy, Arturo, Al Hirt, Lee Morgan, or a saxplayer with Bird, Coltrane , and Wayne Shorter, or a drummer when the likes of Blakey, Cobham, Roach, Krupa and Chic Webb were on the scene. Shyt! Everybody now is still trying to copy their shyt.

[onlyjoetee]

Lovely drummer Art,smooth easy rider with heat and very African feel,Lovely touch

[sotonemuel]

Yes, he studied the European music and African music to develop his own style of Hard Bop Jazz. What a genius!

[cesaralexis73]

like i said, Mr. Blakey is the black Buddy Rich. period.

[dropfan195]

Well Max Roach might be the black Buddy Rich. This is Art Blakey here.

[cesaralexis73]

ok.

[bobbie123ful]

Buddy Rich is overated for the obvious reasons.

[LustForHate]

Buddy was way better than Art!

[cesaralexis73]

and no doubt about it! just that Art is a lot better than all of the black drummers that i've seen.

[julesmonendrumface]

Buddy has a better technique but Art swings more !

[Deee36]

♫♫♫♫♫

[lolland30]

"art blakey didn`t know what he was doing"

hey kiddo, without blakey, jazz wouldn` have afrobeat

[Soulnik]

♫♫♫♫♫

[jmotz3]

Anything original always gets bashed by someone who doesn't like the "think."

"Thinking," Hmmm. What the hell does that mean??

[highstick0]

The audio is out of sink. When the trumpet player is playing, you hear the drums.

[bminorscales]

The "out of sync" problem is pretty common on YouTube. Surely you must have seen it b4.

[jaikwillis]

if i had to guess which of you didn't know what he was doing, you jazzplaayer102 or Art Blakey .... umm i would guess you don't know what you're doing haha

it is funny how the video is so out of sync Lee Morgan blows the drum solo.

[munichmunich]

lol i never knew trumpets could sound so much like drums...

[CheezeyWeezey]

ha!

[TONWITBERG]

DVD= Art Blakey"s Jazz Messengers Paris 1959

november 15, 1959 Theatre de Champs-Elysées, Paris with Lee Morgan tp Wayne Shorter ts Walter Davis Jr p Jymie Merritt b Art Blakey dr

[257melomaniacs]

HOLY SHIT!! jymie merritt is amazing!!!!!

[dreadtodred]

yes he is walking the shit out of that bass almost sounds electric

[EddieLandsberg]

same thing just came to mind... he's really right on Basie's ride... talk about whippin' it!

[dreadtodred]

this a great video I have it,thank goodness.its from 1959.first part of video is a lttle dark but soon clears out.I watch all the time in entirety

[rjt123456]

Can someone plese try to adjust the sound to fit with the video? It would make it 10 times better.

[jazzclarinet2006]

I like how they're "trading fours" with Blakey. I love doing that in jazz band. Course there's only one drummer in my entire school who can solo on the drums in jazz style. (Drummers need to learn more than rock you know!!!)

[jovesheerwater]

fantastic thanx. pity it's so out of sync.

[samerino92]

haha... it's like 4 bars off. when lee's soloing, blakey's really doin his fours

[leskromer]

Do you know who the sidemen are?

[avelaz3]

lee morgan - trumpet

wayne shorter - sax

jymie merritt - bass

walter davis - piano
