Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, previously unreleased studio album "Just Coolin" now available everywhere from Blue Note Records. | Art Blakey - Blue Note Records

Here's an awesome throwback performance by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers with a solo from 1959. This is from the piece, "No Problem." Notice Art playing match grip! And what's with the crazy polyrhythm at the beginning? What's the math on that??? The players include Lee Morgan (t), Wayne Shorter (ts), Walter Davis Jr (p), Jymie Merritt (b).
