#TheBigBeat

2023-06-14

Long day & in need of a pick me up & so I’m #NowSpinning #TheBigBeat by #ArtBlakey and the Jazz Messengers.

#Moanin’ is my favourite Blakey album with this a very close second. The lineup here is peerless, #LeeMorgan, #BobbyTimmons, #WayneShorter, & Blakey just smokes.

Every track is a winner & It’s Only A Paper Moon is one hell of a way to sign off.

This is another #KevinGray cut from the consistently great #BlueNote Classics series.

Photo of a record album jacket resting on a wooden stand. 

The record cover is a photograph of a grinning Art Blakey sat behind a drum kit, sticks in hand. 

A pale blue border runs across the top of the jacket where text reads, ‘Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, The Big Beat’.Photo of a record spinning on the skeletal frame of a Rega P8 turntable. 

The centre label is white with a blue edge. Text reads, ‘Blue Note,’ the rest of the print is lost in a blur of motion. 

The tonearm is extended and tracing the opening track.

Unplugged my Google Home deodorizer in favor of a good old favorite. The radio! 📻
