Tony Allen tribute to Art Blakey Jazz Messengers

Tony Allen tribute to Art Blakey Jazz Messengers
Fela Kuti said: without Tony Allen there is no AfroBeat. I had the privilege pay tribute to his friend giant Art Blakey. Long story short I'm glad it happened, so much freedom and unknown becoming known on the spot.

[@joweeo]

well done mate.. great setList

[@asimnicholsmusic]

I appreciate all styles of drumming…gospel chops, metal, hiphop, but something about playing less and saying more is why I always come back around to Tony…RIP.

[@VojtechRozsival]

Well said. I love this style of playing. No fancy stuff, just incredible touch and wisely used strokes. Afrobeat spiced, pure perfection. (btw similar approach to the drum kit uses Brian Blade)

[@User9865-b8u]

What a genius! Discovering these great tunes after 2 years of the passing of Tony Allen, I feel sad for the loss of such a great artist. My solace is this great music he left us. One that embodies the spirit of his motherland (Africa) and the richness of it. Falling in love!

I'm still aNd will always FeeL honored And privileged to Have been on that JourneY ❤ RiP Baba TonY

I f😅eel like I am a part of this most sublime music! Mr. Tony Allen, your spirit lives on 4evr in your music, and in all the spirits, u touched past, present, and future. Music is alive

[@adinkraartscollective]

Met and recorded him in South London in 2018. Gentle and so vibrant. The audience on his every beat. These legends leave their music as legacy and footsteps for those to folow and appreciate. Oludumare receives you elder..Ase.

[@wfberan]

This Night in Tunisia can stand with ANY other version of Dizzy’s great song. The people in that audience were so blessed to be there.

[@jiefflerenard1228]

I might get the whole thing wrong but toward the intro it says "La Maison des Arts de Creteil "and that would be a suburb of Paris, France.

[@aguztinalvarez]

yea, maybe next life.

[@abdallahjamal6329]

So right. An infectious groove pulling you along

[@VojtechRozsival]

Wish I was there. Envy is a sin. I am a sinner.

[@lendelacour3028]

Had the pleasure of meeting him in Dublin, a gentle man and The Most Relaxed Drummer i ever heard. Slan go foill. R.I.P.

[@megisynynef2224]

A worthy salute to the mighty Art Blakey and the various incredible iterations of the Jazz Messengers. Thank you Tony Allen.

[@CYisThelonius]

Wow I'm not the only searching for this genius' live performances. I only wish I got to see him live. Rest in Power, Brother Afrobeat!

[@Hugausen]

23:36 I just wanted to leave this 'fast access' to this masterpiece... (Politely, if you're wondering...)

[@FRANCODALMONEGODRUMS]

Where does the idea of the jazz drums start? Tony seems to be the father of all drummers in history! Everything started from Africa, and Tony reminds us to it! THANKS TONY!

[@SILOETTE100page]

I know this was a rhetorical question, but for a really amazing resource anyone interested should check out History of Jazz Drums: media.music.txstate.edu/schoenberg/HistoryofDrums.html Mel Lewis and Loren Schoenberg sit down for hours going through the recordings of masters and talk about their styles, influences etc and reaally dig in.

[@chriscoates5427]

Agree.! This is high art, in a year that has been a disaster for the performing arts.

[@megisynynef2224]

Seek out the wonderful Jazz Messengers version of "Are you Real?" (the second tune) at the Paris Olympia 1958. Art Blakey, Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, Bobby Timmons, Jimmy Merritt.

Que descance en Paz Maestro El Gran TONY ALLEN Gracias buen viaje, y al pasar cerca de su musico le agradecere ademas que desde donde este le avise a Jowee Omicil alto, soprano saxes.vientos que para la proxima afine mejor su saxo.Es una pena ante tan bella musica que ese saxo alto desde el minuto 14.14 hasta 35.36 Suenes TAN FUERA DE TONO, JOWWE! amigo... desafinado, y deafinando toda la pieza. Ja, perdon eh. No es mi oreja, capo, no.... Por lo demas muchas gracias. Duele tanto su partida como oir sonar cada nota del alto de Jowee. lo sientes Tony ahora que puedes disfrutar en el paraiso? o soy yo? ADIOS TON! Gracias, si.Maestro. 1ro de Mayo dia del trabajo. 2020.
