WHUS - IN THE GROOVEArt Blakey Tribute
Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers was one of the most influential bands in the evolution of jazz. He is often credited with pioneering the hard-bop movement, taking the be-bop form and placing greater emphasis on the rhythm, giving the music a hard driving swing. We saw a Blakey tribute band in concert last night in Hartford that was the impetus for this playlist. We follow that set with a World-Jazz set in honor of International Jazz Day, May 23.Playlist

Hi Ken. Enjoying the podcast, as I do every week - great to have a drummer feature!
Just to pick up on the tune Joshua, it was written by Victor Feldman while he was with Miles Davis, and was first recorded by Miles's quintet for the Seven Steps To Heaven album (the title tune also being by Feldman) - however Feldman left the quintet halfway through making that album, being replaced with Herbie Hancock, so didn't get to record those tunes with Miles.
