Jazz Messengers - Ms B.C.

[loverliars]

Haha, the guy at 0:31 is like, "Yes, yes, I get this".

[7fixsfj3]

I got lucky and found the CD "Album of the Year" at a vinyl/CD shop in St. Louis earlier this year!



[davidobrienii]

I wish I could find footage of the other tunes from this performance. I used to have the DVD and I can't find it anymore. If anyone has posted them on here please let me know.

[AmaoNoBolso]

amazing piece of jazz music

[uncledenny61]

great album straight ahead jazz at its best. 

[PhilBaird1]

This is from their recently re- released on CD 'Album of the Year' originally put out on vinyl in the early 1980's if I recall. The best Messengers album ever in my opinion and that's quite a claim to make. The whole damn thing is as good as this and you won't be disappointed I assure you. Fantastic jazz !

[shanrico]

@PhilBaird1

Agreed. The entire CD is filled with wonderful compositions and Bobby Watson is on Alto on the CD. I miss Fambrough...

[PhilBaird1]

@shanrico Glad you agree. I sense this one slipped under the radar a bit when it came out but of all the great Messengers line-ups over the years, this one with Wynton and Bobby etc., takes some beating doesn't it.

[AshmanGT]

Anyone have the changes to this fabulous tune?

[johnnyjazzbasement]

[superman53535]

[MrTheLighter]

wow thanks for sharing this video..greetings from Sicily..

[mumbleora]

Please understand me....Art Blakey is a MONSTER!!!He seems to be able to read each musicians mind and know EXACTLY how much push to give, how much to lay back, and when to DROP DEM' BOMBS!!!

[vicslic]

Charles Fanbrough on bas.From Philly!

[Uberthium]

Oh man, the recording of this tune is awsome, fell in love with it. This would be considered wat? Hard-bop/Neo-bop? Or just post bop in general? By the way, the intro to this song is fukn awsome, I play alto sax(not the greatest) and it feels natural to the fingers. Lol just slides out easy.

[davedadrumma]

I wonder where this was....

[ke72jak]

In 1989, this tune defined a hot Summer night to me. A bottle of red wine, a pack of Chesterfields, a few candles and a warm breeze. Nothing more needed.

[JazzisGreat88]

Not a fan of Branford's Solo on this tune, but Billy Pierce really rips it.

[nodlew1943]

what concert was this? is this on a DVD?

[erinnanova]

Who is this on the bass? Damn!

[mati377]

@erinnanova

Charles Fambrough on bass. Album of the year is for me the best of Art Blakey during the period with Marsalis. Never heard a better sound on a jazz album as on this recording. It was recorded in Paris. Incredible big sound and super music. Everybody at his best. I saw them several times in concert during that period...

[jazzbummer]

Art blakey is the youngest out of all of them. He is having too much fun. ;)

[MUARFA]

[babaak1]

Oh Shit!!! this is the live recording from the album "Keystone 3" they won a grammy for this one. This is one of my fave all time sessions! Thanks for posting. Hope there more to come.

[babaak1]

No its not... Anyone know the name of this song?

[shorjas]

Actually, "Ms. B.C." was written by Bobby Watson's wife, Pamela. B.C. stands for Betty Carter.

[luanne777]
