Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - New York Scene
Review by Jef Menguin
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers' album "New York Scene" is a classic jazz masterpiece. Released in 1957, the album features some of the finest musicians of the time, including Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Donald Byrd on trumpet, Horace Silver on piano, Doug Watkins on bass, and of course, Art Blakey on drums.
The album is a perfect representation of the hard bop style that was popular in the late 1950s. The musicianship is top-notch, with each member of the band delivering virtuosic performances. The album opens with the title track, which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its driving rhythm and catchy melody. Other standout tracks include "Infra-Rae," a bluesy number that features a stunning solo from Mobley, and "Lament for Stacey," a beautiful ballad that showcases Byrd's lyrical trumpet playing.

About Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
Archetypal hard-bop group of the late 1950s, most date their origin to 1954 or '55 when the first recordings credited to the band appeared.
Playing a driving, aggressive extension of bop with pronounced blues roots, the group continued until Blakey's death in 1990.
The name Jazz Messengers had been used by earlier, but when and Blakey began working together in the early 1950's the name had been dormant several years. The Jazz Messengers formed as a collective, nominally led by Silver or Blakey. Blakey credited Silver with reviving the Messengers name for the group. The original lineup of Blakey, Silver, , & , was relatively shortlived. By late 1956 was the remaining original member.
Over the years the Jazz Messengers served as a springboard for young jazz musicians, a proving ground for young jazz talent.
