Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers • The Freedom Rider

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
The final recording by this edition of The Jazz Messengers (featuring trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Bobby Timmons, bassist Jymie Merritt and drummer/leader Art Blakey) finds the group consolidating their year-and-a-half of experience into yet another exciting document. Blakey's unaccompanied drum feature on "The Freedom Rider" is full of drama while the rest of the program (two compositions apiece by Morgan and Shorter) makes this last chapter for this particular band quite memorable.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
La grabación final de esta edición de The Jazz Messengers (con el trompetista Lee Morgan, el saxofonista tenor Wayne Shorter, el pianista Bobby Timmons, el bajista Jymie Merritt y el batería y líder Art Blakey) encuentra al grupo consolidando su año y medio de experiencia en otro documento emocionante. La parte de batería sin acompañamiento de Blakey en "The Freedom Rider" está llena de dramatismo, mientras que el resto del programa (dos composiciones cada uno de Morgan y Shorter) hace que este último capítulo de esta banda en particular sea bastante memorable.
