Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - Blues March

Thats cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

This tune is so great because it's the blues over a kind of parade march feel and the most compelling thing is that neither one of these feels gets lost all throughout this tune. Both Wayne Shorter and Lee Morgan took very creative and bluesy solos. EXCELLENT!!!!!!

I only wished that Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers would have played for all of the military parades that I marched in when I was in the service.

I love the original album, but god, wayne shorer is SO cool...fU#&! Can anyone explain why this tune is so compelling?

It's something to do with the chords played on the 1234 beats. They seem to have a note that descends and bounces back up. It's almost discordant but works really well...if you catch my drift.

no he wasnt he was a jazz messenger

haha your british

o cause i know he plays on a night in birdland

looks like Lee Morgan too, and sounds like him :P
