| | | Details | Switching from piano to drums at an early age, Pittsburgh native Art Blakey embarked on an impressive career in jazz. After establishing a strong foundation through working with Mary Lou Williams, Fletcher Henderson, and others, in 1954 Blakey collaborated with pianist Horace Silver and cofounded the Jazz Messengers. Through its 35-year history, the Messengers was the fertile ground that nurtured the careers of some of the most important names in modern jazz. The SJMO will stroll down memory lane performing the music of Art Blakey in celebration of his centennial year. |
