To ALL of you showing love, your kind words, on behalf of the Blakey family, THANK YOU. My paps loved to know his music moved you in a positive way. If he made you smile, clap your hands, stomp your feet, get up and dance, or lay back and enjoy the moment- then he accomplished what he wanted. Love you ALL

[@harrisonlorens3585]

Is he really your pops? That’s awesome, man. An absolute legend.

[@marksummers5386]

Art Blakey was the best ever. No other drummer moves me like that. It’s outer worldly. My favorite album is Free For All. Much respect to your family. Pittsburgh is a legendary jazz city.

[@pjacobsen1000]

Rest assured that your grandfather touched people around the world and throughout time. I'm from Denmark and only discovered Art Blakey in the late 1990s. He's such a great band leader! Makes you want to get out of that chair and dance!

[@Telstar62a]

He brought the message loud and clear. RIP

[@Roy-or6ev]

Ginger Baker's hero. When Ginger was pressing his hands into the damp concrete, he commented that Art's handprints should have been on that walk of fame. It really pissed Ginger off. 😮

[@hassenfuttingah2744]

He was one of those genius drummers who makes one want to dance,a rare thing indeed.

[@ryandoherty4291]

One of the most outstanding drummers ever to walk the Earth. His passion for drumming was unrivaled.

[@WhDatBoiG]

That's my paps. Thanks for the love ❤️

About 30 years after this was filmed, I saw Art playing Ronnie Scott's. It was an astounding gig, one of the best I've ever been to and an evening I hope I'll never forget.

Absolutely amazing. I wish I could have seen these legends perform live!

[@bobbysands6923]

At 16, in 1974, I was the only rock drummer in town that listened to Art Blakey. I was hooked the first time I heard Caravan. He has been in my top 4 or 5 drummers since. And this post shows how did all of that stuff.

Art is cooking...... Love his style....... Really EXCELLENT... STRONGEST WRIST ACTION EVER 🙏♥🙏

[@dannywoody5497]

Absolutely love art Blakey I sat next to him a few times and watched him play when you see him up close it’s another program so much going on and what a smile God bless him forever jazz forever

[@zpiazza]

Art Blakey just rules.

[@robertlewis6444]

I was born in 1959....Hallelujah! 😎

[@bustabass9025]

This was right after Bennie Golson and Bobbie Timmons split. Like Miles, Blakey kept a revolving door to the finest cadre of fresh young talent during the Golden Age of New York jazz.

[@Shepthebassman91]

Art was a true inspiration and master of drumming! He was on another level and it was and is always will be just pure and virtuosic musicality that came from him! Amazingness!

[@gastoncorti669]

Fantástico !!!

[@coolfish420]

There's a lot of great drummers out there, but Blakey's playing always reminds me that I'm alive.

Drummers are saying, "How is he keeping time?"

[@cephalicwasteland3504]

He owned the time

[@1TakoyakiStore]

He is. It's just that he's keeping 4 different times simultaneously.

[@WhDatBoiG]

That was my grandpa for you. In his groove.

[@jamesconnors5653]

Band leader controls time.
