Downloaded Art Blakey's Indestructible (his last Blue Note album, from 1965, with Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, Wayne Shorter, Cedar Walton and Reggie Workman) and the two volumes of 3 Blind Mice (live stuff from 1962 with Freddie Hubbard, Fuller, Shorter, Walton and Jymie Merritt). There are days when all I want to listen to, ever, is Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers' stuff from 1960-65.

I have been loving Pete La Roca's awesome Basra album a lot recently. It is a travesty that such a talented dude fucked it all off and became a taxi driver.

Dud mostly. The less rhythmic propulsion a track has, the more likely the track title will be an intransitive verb with a dropped 'g'.― dave q, Monday, August 12, 2002 7:00 PM (13 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

I picked up a great book of lp covers from the label from a cheap sale a few years ago. They really did have a great sense of style.Seems to have been a major influence on mod. Presumably the modern jazz that's initially a short form for was best epitomised by the record label.

RIP Rudy Van Gelder

Finally got around to watching 'Blue Note: Beyond the Notes' last night. It's nice and pleasant but didn't really contain much in the way of insights that any fan wasn't already familiar with. Highlight was watching Shorter & Hancock goof around. I could have gone for a lot more of that.
