@icastico@c.im @W6KME@mastodon.radio @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Harry Belefonte I remember. Hadn't heard of the others. This is first time I heard of Art Blakey. I just listened to Drum Suite on Youtube, it was great! As far as jazz drummers go, Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa were/are still my all-time favorites.

@uccawx@m.ai6yr.org @W6KME@mastodon.radio @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Blakey led The Jazz Messengers and mentored most of the jazz stars of the 60s and 70s. Other than Max Roach it is hard to think of a more important #jazz drummer. Rich and Krupa are great too, of course.
