Dayne and Jook

Not sure if you are aware of this but your "crazy" single tracks will make great loop samples for techno and hip hop.

I was ready to trash Peaceful Giants Awake.. thanks RG for the heads up!.. maybe I will do some cleaning up on it and re-distribute it to those people..

psychedelic/ techno/ ambien/ fusion/ rock music..NEW GENRE FOLKS!

Always loved the Messengers for sure but always considered this Art's band.
Great album!!

totally...that's why it's Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers! His band has been a "classroom' for a long list of "A" players that went to school in his band.

Before we left NYC.....we got to see a very cool lineup of AB and The Jazz Messengers at the Village Vanguard. We're all going nuts over the saxophonist but it's the trumpeter who's really, REALLY killing it. It was a very young Branford and Wynton Marsalis. i think Wynton was 17 or 18 at the time.

We got to see both shows sitting in the front row w a few of my musician buddies that i was playing w at the time. When they came back for the second show AB saw us sitting there and said...."Well, I'm glad see you guys stuck around". That was a pretty big deal getting acknowledged from a Master to a bunch of 20 yr old wannabe jazzbos.

Marsalis Bros. are New Orleans all the way

sho nuff.

there was some discussion recently on here about Ken Burns' great documentary "JAZZ". i thought Wynton stole the show. I loved how he'd wonderfully demonstrate different points w trumpet in hand drawling....."weeeeell, this is how Pops played this line....braaap, brap, braaaaap, but then Fats Navaro came along and he'd play it like this......"

GREAT STUFF! like a lot of great musicians.....he's also a great teacher.

missed that PBS show, although I was aware of it, maybe when it's re-run I will catch it.. I dare to say there are as many genres or sub-genres of jazz music as there is rock music.. you and jook definitely are knowledgeable about jazz music .. I listened to Weather Report Zawinul etc. back in the day, but it is an acquired taste in some instances.. my 2 cents

if you get a chance....you should try to catch it. like all of Ken Burns' stuff...it deals w more than just the the main topic so, there's a lot of interesting history stuff there as well. and much about race relations as well.

as for it being an acquired taste, i think it's like anything else. we like what we know....or what we've been exposed to. i grew up in a house where jazz was played all the time so, it wasn't a question of dipping my toes in jazz waters later to see if it did anything for me.

sure thing....i just sent it along his way.
