God bless Art Blakey; I was fortunate to sit just feet away from him at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach on the tour to support Gypsy Folk Tales, around '77. It was a spiritual experience!

I'm glad somebody had the good sense to do this interview. Art spoke a lot of truth and gave use a lot of history and insight.

I love the way he checked Wynton!👌🏾😎

He's one of the greatest jazz musicians, and one of the greatest drummers beyond that. Also, Sinatra had his "hat years" and so did Art!

Only one in a hundred Americans on the street would recognize his name, but it would be with love and respect for one of the greatest US drummers and mentors of talent in jazz--a distinctly American art form that seems hardly known in the 21st century. Thankfully, hundreds of his records are around, plus plenty of videos of Jazz Messengers performances, and as long as music lovers are around a loyal Blakey fan base will always re-emerge.

Me, my husband, my daughter and my song, know the name of Art Blakey. And I will teach my grandchildren his name and contribution to jazz.

Man, that was damn gracious of Art to put up with all of that interruption and jive. Bless him and his massively powerful heart.

yes, Mr Blakey is right, a jazz musician is the most proficient on the instruments they play on..in any music

In 1980, Art Blakey was only 60. What's with the questions about slowing down with old age??

@brucescott4261 Жыл бұрын

bopgirl ...Bu was sixty-one years old on October 11th, 1980.

Note, not retiring, just slowing down, he toured like he was 30 at that time, as did some others of his generation. If you stop doing something you can do when you get older, it's hard to get it going again. So they kept going, thank goodness.

Interviewers wing it due to nervousness and stock questions roll out. If you thinks this interviewer is bad, check out most of the interviews with Miles Davis. At least this interviewer at least knows some of the history and the music.

Well Wynton Marsalis if that's the Wynton he was talking about obviously isn't a piano player and the interview seemed pretty laid back anyway as if he was just talking to any old guy after the gig.
