Artist:Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
Song:Infra-Rae
Album:Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
Not only was Art Blakey one the all time great hard bop drummers but he used his band to introduce many young musicians to the world. Infra-Rae is from a 1956 recording reissued by Columbia on CD with some extra tracks from the same sessions. Horace Silver was still on piano but would split with Blakey soon after. Donald Byrd is on trumpet, Hank Mobley on tenor sax (he wrote the tune) and Doug Watkins is on bass. Most of Blakey's recordings from that time are on Blue Note but you don't want to overlook this album.
