Art Blakey - Drum Solo - (France 1959)

[@WhDatBoiG]

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. 😮

Blakey is one of most legendary metal drummers ever. Jazz messengers are immortal!!

[@pedroberoes49]

Metal?????

[@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 ❤️

[@Crow-jg4sj]

He was a creative force

[@wibblywobblyidiotvision]

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.

hope the scene is still kicking in london

Art Drum is so amazing 😮

[@hassenfuttingah2744]

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

[@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.

[@stix9641]

❤ What a man!!! What a Player !!!

[@Crow-jg4sj]

One of my favorite solos on KZbin

[@coolfish420]

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

[@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

[@FromRussia_wLuv]

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

[@danielpike3277]

Went to college with his granddaughter.. Awesome video

[@tomlehr861]

Love the way he lays kn those cymbals

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

I was born in 1959....Hallelujah! 😎

[@zpiazza]

Art Blakey just rules.

[@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!

[@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.

[@jagzin6147]

Tuning the floor tom without missing a beat is absolutely insane

[@hernannicastro8450]

Sublime !!

[@gastoncorti669]

Fantástico !!!

[@jameskennedy721]

[@nathanraymond7525]

I was born in 1980 and the fact that there is no way I could have seen this live, but to know if I had I think it would be like seeing God type level of announcement type realization. Must have changed some lives.

[@tomcarr4630]

Love this! Thanks so much for posting.

I have always admired Art Blakey. He was an OUTSTANDING jazz drummer.

[@ArthurHolloway-f1l]

There aren't too young cats in the hood who know about Blakey& Wayne Shorter &Lee Morgan but I try to turn them on to these all time greats.

[@MH-il1lk]

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.
