Two giants of modern jazz collaborate on this session of all-Monk tunes. Recorded in 1958, Blakey's always-impressive Jazz Messengers are joined by the Mad Professor himself (this record affords a glimpse of Monk as a distinguished and individual accompanist, in addition to his usual dazzling lead performances), for workouts on such classics as "Blue Monk," "Rhythm-a-ning," and "In Walked Bud."

Side by side, Blakey and Monk exhibit a strong, electric interplay, and the similarities of their approaches (both are concerned with space, polyrhythms, meter and accent) are evident. In "I Mean You," for example, Blakey carries the standard time of the piece, yet introduces a simultaneous line that forms a dialogue with the melody and rhythm. Likewise, Monk improvises harmonic variations in the two choruses of the same song; the first is a descending motif, the second a contrasting line turned around and inside out. Inventive treats like these, as well as some strong playing from horn men Johnny Griffin and Bill Hardman, make this outing of the Messengers and Monk of interest to aficionados and casual listeners alike.

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

Includes liner notes by Martin Williams.

Includes liner notes by Martin Williams and Nat Hentoff.

Personnel: Art Blakey (drums); Thelonious Monk (piano); Johnny Griffin (tenor saxophone); Bill Hardman (trumpet); Spanky DeBrest (bass).

JazzTimes (9/99, p.89) - "...Monk's solos here are among the most vivid recorded examples of his perfect time and his don't-fill-in-the-blanks approach to soloing....a fine and underrated edition of the Messengers..."

Lee Morgan Procrastinator CD  (1967) Limited Edition

Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers With Thelonious Monk album
CD $10.15  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
This is part of Blue Note's Limited Edition Connoisseur series. The fact that THE PROCRASTINATOR is a shade more atmospheric than other Morgan recordings from this period can be attributed to several factors. For one, the presence of Bobby Hutcherson on vibes gives Morgan new colors to work with as a composer, which he does to great effect on the title cut. The title cut features an elegiac opening statement reminiscent of the Modern Jazz Quartet; the tune ultimately yields to a sort of long-form variation on the blues. Another factor is the continued involvement of Wayne Shorter as a composer on Morgan's dates. Shorter's two contributions, the ballad "Dear Sir" and the bossa "Rio" share a questioning, ambiguous quality that draws the trumpeter into a more introspective zone. Elsewhere, however, ...

CD $18.29  5 stars Audio Samples
Recorded live at the Village Vanguard, New York, New York on November 3, 1957. Originally released on Blue Note (81581). The Rudy Van Gelder Edition of A NIGHT AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD includes an essay by Bob Blumenthal. Recorded live at the Village Vanguard, New York, New York on November 3, 1957. Includes liner notes by Leonard Feather and Bob Blumenthal. This is part of the Blue Note Rudy Van Gelder Editions series. It's possible to argue that, whereas his contemporaries Miles Davis and John Coltrane hit peaks of creative invention in the 1960s, Sonny Rollins was at his best in the late '50s. A NIGHT AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD, taken from performances recorded in 1957, provides ample evidence for the claim. In fact, these recordings make a case for Rollins as one of the most miraculously inventive and agile soloists in the post-bop tradition. With the exception of a brief appearance by drummer Pete LaRoca and bassist Donald Bailey, the performances ...

CD $7.99  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Recorded live at Birdland, New York, New York on February 21, 1954. Originally released on Bluenote (1521). Includes liner notes by Bob Blumenthal. When Pee-Wee Marquette, emcee of Birdland, introduces Art Blakey and his quintet, the audience in attendance erupts in enthusiastic applause. Rightly so; this is a powerful group in full stride. A NIGHT AT BIRDLAND VOL. ONE captures Blakey's pre-Messengers quintet on an evening in February 1954 with legendary trumpeter Clifford Brown and alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson holding down the front line. Longtime partners Blakey and pianist Horace Silver, as well as talented bassist Curley Russell, propel the relentless rhythm section. The results of that eventful night are now preserved so that we may become patrons of the once legendary nightspot. The fiery mambo "Split Kick" opens the set showcasing Blakey's assertive drumming and the fine blowing of ...
