Art Blakey Jazz Messengers Rehearsal Footage

[Efachomusic]

Beautiful! They only showed the clips of everyone laughing and enjoying. But they were breaking it down musically in the rest you didn't see. Blessings of life.

Art's Daughter Evelyn was a nice person! She showed me the bed in her apartment wher Freddie Hubbard used when in town.

God is truly love, and they are the collective expression of it. Thanks very much for this breath of very fresh air.

that's not coke in his nose...its the light shining off of it....take another look.

[JustinPoon93]

I did not understand a word.

Except for EbMaj7.

Love these guys though.

[paulifuller]

These guys are the kings of humor and wit. There are so many layers to every word they utter, just like with the notes. It is an entire inner world of knowledge, entry strictly restricted. Each joke with a thousand meanings to them. Music lets us into the surface of these great intellects.

Look at blakey's nose, in the beginning, the white. I know Freddie was a coke head but it seems like a lot of them were.

[playswithpassion]

that's the light reflecting off his nose! though i'm sure he may have done a bit of it in his day he's not on it in this video.

[drummer78]

Nah...although, it is no secret that Art was heavily into heroin. Still, I don't know if he was still using at this point in his life. This is a great clip.
