Jazz Legacy with Justin Varnes: The Music of Art Blakey
Advertisement
Justin Varnes Jazz Legacy Project interprets the music of jazz legends while intertwining their stories with the historical moments that shaped them. This month, we bring to life the music and influences of drummer Art Blakey.
“Father of Modern Jazz”
A happy accident left Blakey and Horace Silver alone in a recording studio. What came out was the beginnings of the Hard Bop era. What followed was a band – The Jazz Messengers – that would serve as a school for over 20 of the greatest jazz musicians of all time.
