Art Blakey: Next Steps

Art Blakey: Next Steps

The aggressively swinging drummer Art Blakey was also notable for leading an ever-changing virtual finishing school of future jazz legends. Blakey engages in rhythmic counterpoint with trumpeter Lee Morgan, age 19, on "Are You Real?"; feverishly embellishes saxophonist Wayne Shorter, 26, during "A Night in Tunisia"; and amplifies the waves whipped up by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, 25, in "Ugetsu".
