THE JAZZ MESSENGERS
  * Hard Bop *

Treibender, funkiger Whole-Bop-Jazz vom Feinsten erwartet den Hörer auf dieser auf 3.000 Exemplare limitierten 180g-LP in Mono. Der Ausnahme-Schlagzeuger Art Blakey versammelte unter seinen „Jazz Messengers“ stets großartige Musiker. Auf „Hard Bop“ aus dem Jahr 1957 spielen Jackie McLean am Altsaxophon, Bill Hardman an der Trompete, Spanky deBrest am Bass und Sam Dockery am Piano. Der Combo ist ein absolut energiegeladenes, swingendes Album gelungen, das einfach Spaß macht.

Wir empfehlen die Verwendung von „L’Art du Son“- LP-Reiniger für die Nasswäsche Ihres Vinyls. Auch neue Platten aus hochwertiger Fertigung profitieren davon noch einmal.

Titel:

english description:

Some of the greatest jazz musicians of all time have passed through Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers: Horace Silver, Hank Mobley, Kenny Dorham, Wayne Shorter, and Donald Byrd, among many others. However brief their stay, working with the demanding and full-throttle drummer not only increased their visibility, but also their chops and interprative capacity. Blakey’s ability to drum up the best players in the game may have even eclipsed his superhuman ability to play drums.

Altoist Jackie McLean, trumpeter Bill Hardman, bassist Spanky deBrest, and pianist Sam Dockery deliver whole-bop goodness on five propulsive, fiery tracks. True to its title, this LP bops hard, with a ferocious swing, boundless energy and telepathic communication between players—especially Blakey and Hardman. Considering the rhythmic demands of Blakey’s locomotive playing style, this was an incredible achievement.

Impex Records has cut this gorgeous, limited edition (2,500 pressings) 180-gram LP with the original analog mono master tapes and without computer processing of any kind. You hear all the vivacious interplay that occured on that weekend in 1957 when Blakey and crew forged a bold new vision of muscular, funky jazz. And only that. This is music that still resonates over 50 years later. Not to be missed.
