Munich '59 (no longer a record store day release)
Expected 27th May - this is no longer a Record Store Day release so we're taking pre-orders now. 'Bebop' inovator and legendary jazz drummer Art Blakey's Munich '59 on vinyl LP with CD insert For the very first time this totally unreleased concert by one of the legends of Jazz mastered from original reels. Arthur "Art" Blakey (October 11, 1919 – October 16, 1990) known later as Abdullah Ibn Buhaina, was an American Grammy Awardwinning jazz drummer and bandleader. Along with Kenny Clarke and Max Roach, he was one of the inventors of the modern bebop style of drumming. He is known as a powerful musician and a vital groover his brand of bluesy, funky hard bop was and continues to be profoundly influential on mainstream jazz. For more than 30 years his band, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, included many young musicians who went on to become prominent names in jazz. The band's legacy is thus not only known for the music it produced, but as a proving ground for several generations of jazz musicians. Blakey's groups are matched only by those of Miles Davis in this regard. Blakey was inducted into the Jazz Hall of Fame (in 1982), the Grammy Hall of Fame (in 2001), and was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005.
