Art Blakey - Indestructible

And...we're back.

Thanks for checking in and it's been a minute. I hope you are all well and staying safe during these challenging and uncertain times.

It was a busy Spring/Summer but it also was nice to take a break from blogging for a bit. Anyways, I'm back at it now that Fall is in full swing and there are lots of interesting things in the queue coming up. So stay tuned.

For starters, Bret Primack, the prolific "Jazz Video Guy", recently produced this wonderful documentary on the legacy of Art Blakey with some great insight and commentary from several Jazz Messengers including the likes of Geoff Keezer, Brian Lynch, Ralph Peterson Jr., Bill Pierce, Bobby Watson, Willard Jenkins, Benny Green and Max Roach.

This is just one of many jazz videos that Primack has produced and I'd encourage you all to take a look at his YouTube.com channel and check out all the wonderful work that he's been doing.

As usual, when the Masters speak, we listen...
