Hard bop is usually regarded as being characterized by dark, weighty, earthy timbres, soulful inflections of pitch, blues-like melodic figures, and sometimes harmonies and chord progressions reminiscent of the sanctified church.  Hard bop flourished during the late fifties and sixties, experienced a dip in popularity, like most jazz forms, during the 1970s and enjoyed an unprecedented revival from the mid-1980s onwards. During 35 years Art Blakey led his Jazz Messengers, an ensemble that ranked among the most rewarding in jazz.  The Jazz Messengers served as a springboard for talented young musicians who were prepared to push themselves beyond the limit, or burn-out in the process.  As a leader, Art Blakey always insisted on complete musicianship and the understanding that without risk jazz is dead.  Blakey had no time for timidity or playing it safe, his drumming encouraged daring and brilliance.  He consistently stood by his musical principles.  In doing so the Jazz Messengers have shaped the style of most small group blowing over four decades. Blakey's role as a teacher, finder and developer of young talent is unsurpassed in jazz.\u003cp\u003eAnouncement By Pee Wee Marquette\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMayreh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike Someone In Love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNica's Dream\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce In A While\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLou's Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Waited For You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInfra-Rae\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuicksilver\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnouncement By Art Blakey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLady Bird\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLate Show\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWee Dot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoft Winds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's New\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEcaroh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Theme\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust One Of Those Things\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHank's Symphony\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Way You Look Tonight\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMinor's Holiday\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGone With The Wind\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeird-O\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf I Had You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlone Together\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeciphering The Message\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCranky Spanky\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow's The Time\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrince Albert\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's You Or No One\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLittle Melonae\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSplit Kick\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvila \u0026amp; Tequila\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe End Of A Love Affair\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eD's Dilemma\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Night In Tunisia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSportin' Crowd\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarol's Interlude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust For Marty\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirmation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYesterdays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIll Wind\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNica's Tempo\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55185132552577,"sku":"91309","price":19.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41lTmWf936L._SL1500.jpg?v=1768296811","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/91309","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
