Jazz Messagers Loud and Clear (Dec 18, 2009)
Reviewer:

This DVD has four songs, and a crash course in true jazz mastery.
Drummer ART BLAKEY is a congenial host, almost in stand-up mode during the band intros, as he lays down the groove behind stellar players. Once again, Blakey's unerring sense for picking the best serves him well here. Freddie Hubbard gets center stage for stunning workouts like their abstract take on "Blue Moon"....

Drummer ART BLAKEY is a congenial host, almost in stand-up mode during the band intros, as he lays down the groove behind stellar players. Once again, Blakey's unerring sense for picking the best serves him well here. Freddie Hubbard gets center stage for stunning workouts like their abstract take on "Blue Moon". He's so formidable on that one it will make even the most seasoned player rethink their game. But Nathan Davis is no slouch; his tenor sax is there move for move with plenty of dance of his own. Having the compressed history of jazz piano in Jaki Byard doesn't hurt either, though Blakey was reportedly thrown a bit by his mercurial tempos. Strangely, this was an ad hoc conglomeration to fulfill a tour, but the unexpected rewards are ours to savor.
