He would tell the new band members. I'll have you guys turned on in two weeks, that's how long it took him to get them all hooked on heroin. And then he'd get all there paychecks.
I'm generally a person that listens to electronic music; synthwave, vaporwave, etc. But I found this performance and now I can't stop listening. Wow, what a show. Jazz really is something else.
YOU GOT IT MAN , I'M 66 AND DIGGIN IT BECAUSE I'VE PLAYED WITH BRASS AS A RYTHM GUITAR PLAYER AND PLAY ALONG WITH ARTIE'S BAND.... AND IT IS SOLID COOL
Have you ever heard of the South London Jazz Scene? You really should consider listening to bands like Ezra Collective, The Comet is Coming (especially if you like electronic music) or Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (a must)
It is well known how these world-class musicians received the respect they deserved in Europe, while they faced racism and discrimination at home. Thank you for posting the genius of their performance.
It doesn't get better than Art Blakey. What a drummer! What a leader! He picked the best players. There should be an Art Blakey Boulevard in every major American city.
Wow! Look at how youthful Art looks here! What an absolute legendary drummer and bandleader. The Jazz Messengers are one of the tightest Jazz supergroups of all time.
I spent most of my life listening to rock music I've only been listing to jazz over the last couple of years now what was I thinking about lol lee Morgan is the Jimi Hendrix of jazz its a crime these guys and others like them don't get the recognition that they deserve
They have gotten the recognition actually. In the Jazz world all of these guys are recognized very much. Unfortunately today most of the jazz is watered down with some exceptions of course.
@@PapaCowboySr it's just that today's people are uncultured. They don't understand that these jazz guys could easily wipe the floor with who they listen to!
@@vinylviper1971 'I remember Clifford' and 'Killer Joe' to name just the most obvious ones. Love me some of Lee Morgan's own compositions too , but talking merely top 10 for style, he's surpassed by my personal favourites Roy Eldridge, Clifford Brown, Art Farmer, and of course Louis Armstrong
I met Edward Lee Morgan when I was fifteen years old. CARAMBA and CHARISMA was released at the time. I also met Lee Morgan's murderess, Helen Moore. I was completely crestfallen when Lee was murdered by Helen. It was one of the saddest moments of my life. Mogie lives on!
I'm 84 "in 2024" and found my love of jazz thru a cousin in 1955. He owned a joint called the Blue Note in Chicago and every chance I would go downtown and sit in the area he had for under age fans. The story I heard about Night was that the whole band was high on hashish when they wrote it.I was just a young white kid yacking with giants between early sets so who knows what was true.
I would have love to be in the crowd witnessing and experiencing this masterpiece of music…. These is good music for the SOUL… Lee Morgan was a absolute surgical technician on that trumpet 🎺🫡
Lift off! Extraordinary performance and energy. Thanks for this incredible concert.🎶 No gyration, no prancing, no preening - just sheer utter staggering talent!
I agree with you. All these musicians are top jazz stars. Lee Morgan my favorite trumpet player in f all time. And my grandfather Bunny Berigan. I still like Lee the best.,Art drumming is so good too. Amazing !
I'v been listening to jazz since i was a kid and no matter what other types of music I get into jazz will always be one of my top favorites and this is musical poetry.
I’m just thankful someone who had the courage, visionary fortuitous and instinctive mindset to recognize the greatest art form of music and musicians is truly priceless beyond measure. Sincerely, “Jazz Is Forever”
I have known this live since my childhood but only by the sound. It's incredible that the video is available. It's really moving. They are so young and marvelous. Thanks from Japan.
Proud that this music was recorded in my city-Brussels.....Bobby Timmons and Lee Morgan are fantastic....the beat goes on and the notes are always blue (for ever)
Art Blakey keeping common time with himself while playing in asynchronous time might be one of the most brilliant moments in music history. Also, "STFU BOBBY!" -Art Blakey's eyes during the bass solo in Moanin'
MILT BUCKNER is groaning like a groundhog when playing. That s uncivilized, total anticlimax 4 me ; have 5 originals from him, though, paid dearly w o knowing the ... syndrome
Cuándo bobby Timmons después de moanin hace la avenida al público se me salieron las lágrimas de esa hermosa composición que hizo y de escucharlo tocar😢
I think this performance in Belgium 1958 is the best of best of Art & Messanger live! the best line up, the best set list, the best excitement, the best savoy ment, its the best rare jazz!!
No, Miles Ahead + 19 recorded in 1957. Miles Davis was unimaginably astronomical time leaps beyond Art Blakey and perhaps any other musician in any genre of his times. An obscure fact, the entire Miles Davis orchestrations with Gil Evans were all actually written, composed, and arranged by Miles Davis not Gil Evans. Why you think Miles Davis an AfroAmerican in the late 1950s walked off with all the recognition, not Gil Evans.
Excellence at all times from these & all the ladies & gentlemen of jazz. Extraordinary performance & beautiful sounds of music fulfilling my ears & heart with peace & warmth overdue & unheard of anywhere else on the globe. Indeed a fantastic display of talent & class all.the way through. Thank you God there's jazz !!!
Art Blakey is great to watch and listen to. I get a kick every time I see a new video. His left right independence is fantastic yet the whole band always comes first. A weaker musician would have surrounded themselves with inferior musicians. Art had the confidence and style to lead. I wish I had met him.
If anyone has heard "Monday Night at Birdland" (featuring Morgan), which was from a year prior, you will probably recognise a lot of the licks/structure Morgan uses in his solo. It's always cool to see stuff rephrased.
Listen to these Amazing Jazz Artist that I gad the pleasure of being introduced to while back in the 70's, my brother from Philly, Sali, also a fine musician himself, I feel in love listening to this type of classic Jazz music. Talented brother's.
These men don’t sweat! They create everything that Heaven allows! And the trumpet breakin out on the theme each time is worth all four operas in Wagner’s Ring Cycle❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@Joseph Green + BOOKER LITTLE whom folks always 4get or ignore, died @23, already @ the peak. OUT FRONT w Dolphy says it all, on Mingus's lbl. Max lost him, 2. Only Dorham was left of the subgenre, the soft hardbop ...
@@lawrence-yx1ew Both were magnificent jazz pianists. Bobby's ilk in chords and phrasing, lent itself more towards gospel infused blues. I think with Horace, the tendency was more indicative of West Indies culturally influenced stylings. In either case they both made huge contributions to the never ending story of the American jazz art form.
Seeing a 19y/o Lee Morgan basically rip the trumpet in half must have been an outer worldly experience!
@mikeygee5641 ...Edward Lee Morgan was twenty years old in this performance.
@@brucescott4261 twenty years old! I couldn't even tie my shoelaces at twenty years old!
@@kingkonut ...?
@@brucescott4261 i.e. he was very young.
🤣🤣🤣🤣@@brucescott4261
Art is smiling all the way through because he knows he has the baddest band on the planet!!
Like most musicians he was shy. Notice he didn't like the spotlight but he worked it.
YEP!!!!!
@@edcrouse5491 Great observation. I noticed that as well!
That and the heroin he was on
He would tell the new band members. I'll have you guys turned on in two weeks, that's how long it took him to get them all hooked on heroin. And then he'd get all there paychecks.
I lived in the East Village in 1961 - they were a legend then and thanks to this a legend forever...
Thank you.
I was born in 1980 in the desert. I'm envious. These cats are the real deal
One of the greatest performances ever
Yes, yes it is.
Naw, disagree with that shit. You ain't heard much, then, muthrfckr....
I'm generally a person that listens to electronic music; synthwave, vaporwave, etc. But I found this performance and now I can't stop listening. Wow, what a show. Jazz really is something else.
AMED BRO !!!
Glad to hear that some people can still appreciate the brilliance of good improvised hard-bop. Lee Morgan was such a masterful player.
YOU GOT IT MAN , I'M 66 AND DIGGIN IT BECAUSE I'VE PLAYED WITH BRASS AS A RYTHM GUITAR PLAYER AND PLAY ALONG WITH ARTIE'S BAND.... AND IT IS SOLID COOL
Have you ever heard of the South London Jazz Scene? You really should consider listening to bands like Ezra Collective, The Comet is Coming (especially if you like electronic music) or Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (a must)
I like metal,jazz,classic rock,and 100s of other genres but if I enjoy it,I jam it.
私は常々『リー・モーガン1958年絶頂期説』というのを主張し続けています。世間は一顧だにしてくれませんけどね。ともあれ、この年のどの演奏も見事なものだと思います。ああ、あの時代に帰りたい（私、2024年現在75歳）。
Those days are NOW!
Lee el mejor 😊
Lee was amazing, that trumpet has conversations with me and I'm always in a mood to hear Lee's trumpet speak.
Totally agree!!! Lee is so powerful!
As a trumpet player, he's one of my largest inspirations. I love the bite and sassy attitude he conveys in his sound.
That’s a sick way of putting it - having conversations with you - I never thought about it like that!
art blakey use to shout "tell them your story!" during his solo's i saw once somewhere online
@@albertmerlew source: i saw it online somewhere
Just pure class from all these great musicians!
If you're listening to this type of music even if you're still young that's mean you have a wonderful taste of music, have a good day.
It is well known how these world-class musicians received the respect they deserved in Europe, while they faced racism and discrimination at home. Thank you for posting the genius of their performance.
they got back at racism pretty damm good !!!! masters !!
@@danielboone8748 ja, neh?!
that's right, mr greenberg, focus on oppression, not artistry
@@francis-dt2hl you don't need to get offended, it only adds to their greatness, Jim Crow was literally in full effect.
@@francis-dt2hl?
These guys are unparalleled. Bobby Timmons is incredible….Art Blakey🌟..and Lee Morgan….no words to capture his genius.
I stumbled upon art Blakey's work at 3am at night and I've got to say, God I love how quick things/info reaches us thru' the internet/TH-cam.
All those artist ain't dead. They live in my heart❤
The Moanin' solos of all of them ARE INSANE DUDE !!!
that's cuz of the blues melody and gospel thwang
Rip Benny Golson. may the five of them swing together again in heaven
It's great that this was captured on film. Art and his crew are the definition of COOL!
Lee Morgan unbelievable
It doesn't get better than Art Blakey. What a drummer! What a leader! He picked the best players. There should be an Art Blakey Boulevard in every major American city.

Nice. Thanks for the Lineup.
Brilliant thanks for this 💯
Lee Morgan has always been my favorite Trumpet player. In this performance everyone rocks. Great classic video and great quality for its age.
Lee is this Best.
Those first two bars of his solo are nothing short of iconic. So fucking bold, almost ear piercing but SO GOOD
You have good taste.
I thougt the very same about Lee Morgan
100% with you brother.
Wow! Look at how youthful Art looks here! What an absolute legendary drummer and bandleader. The Jazz Messengers are one of the tightest Jazz supergroups of all time.

and he composed some great songs as well
He kills it!!!!

Wow! 1958! The thing about jazz is that this could have been recorded yesterday. It's timeless.
Totally totally agree just unbelievable

What a find! This band is burning the damn village down!
3:50 If you listen carefully he's singing the piano solo as he plays it.... that's a musician who's connected to his instrument at a spiritual level
Scat man
Les McCann used to do that too
erroll garner does this quite a bit as well. erroll is by far the best trio and solo pianist. so colorful. all just opinion though of course.
Almost every jazz pianist player does that at some point
MILT BUCKNER is groaning like a groundhog when playing. That s uncivilized, total anticlimax 4 me ; have 5 originals from him, though, paid dearly w o knowing the ... syndrome
It doesn't get any better!
Lee Morgan greatest storyteller ever on the trumpet. Bu 🖤
I mean the amount of times I watched this is incomprehensible. I sent it to all my contacts regardless of them liking jazz.

Although both their lives were cut short, Lee Morgan and Clifford Brown,two transcendent trumpeters, left indelible impressions on the Jazz world
