Art Blakey: Album of the Year (Recorded in Paris)

This edition of the Jazz Messengers reminds me Blakey's virtuoso units of the early 1960s. Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, barely 20 years old, evokes the role played by Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard. His substantial, clean sound adds brilliance to ensemble passages and (as evidenced in the powerhouse "In Case You Missed It"), he has the technical facility to gobble up the changes at any tempo Blakey can muster. His concise solo on Charlie Parker's "Cheryl" shows a keen awareness of form. structure and dynamics. Read complete review from challenge.nl.
