The legendary drummer Art Blakey went on in the course of his almost fifty year long career, to become not only renowned as a percussionist, but also as one of the most important leaders of the hard bop movement. Blakey was the starting point and mentor for scores of young musicians over a period stretching across four decades. As a player and as a bandleader he forced himself to the limits of his capacity and possibilities, with heart, soul and talent he played until the end of his life. |
