Today was Art Blakey's birthday, he was born october 11, 1919 and died october 16, 1990, just five days after his seventyfirst anniversary.
In 1963 he arrived in Italy to partecipate at 8th International Jazz Festival in Sanremo with his Jazz Messengers including Freddie Hubbard: trumpet, Wayne Shorter: sax, Curtis Fuller: trombone, Cedar Walton:piano, Reggie Workman: bass, one of his best line-up.
We want to remember him with the following video, in which you can see the whole concert, about one hour of exciting music.
