Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk is a studio album released in 1958 on Atlantic Records, catalogue SD 1278. It is a collaboration between the Jazz Messengers, the group led by drummer Art Blakey, and special guest Thelonious Monk on piano. The album is the only time Monk recorded for the Atlantic label. Throughout the preceding decade, on sessions for both Blue Note and Riverside, Blakey had supported Monk on various occasions

Both co-leaders are at the peak of their respective prowess with insightful interpretations of nearly half a dozen inspired performances from this incarnation of the Blakey-led Jazz Messengers. This combo features Art Blakey (drums), Johnny Griffin (tenor sax), Bill Hardman (trumpet), and Spanky Debrest (bass). Immediately, Hardman ups the ante with a piledriving lead during "Evidence" that underscores the heavy-hitting nature of this particular jazz confab.

However I would be less than honest if I did not disclose that it was Blakey who inspired me to purchase this album. I wanted to compare his backing Monk to some of the other drummers who I considered to be among the best Monk drummers. Art's style works well with Monk's approach to music, but, frankly, it not the best fit when compared to Shadow Wilson and Frankie Dunlop who both used a lot of space and could play in tempos that were outside the comfort zones of most drummers.

This pressing is on Michael Fremer's 100 All-Analog Re-issues Worth Owning. It comes in at #26 and has recently become out of stock on Analog Spark. I ordered my copy when 3 were left. It hasn't shipped to my house yet so I haven't heard it, but I trust Fremer's opinion and can't wait to play it.

Loyal to the original album. But in this case it's a bad thing. the bass is pretty much inaudible, like it always was until this was remastered for it's 2nd cd incarnation. Which is the likely source of the lp by the waxtime label, which in this special case I prefer.2 stars for being loyal to an originally bad product. 5 for the music.
