A year or two before he died I travelled from London to Paris to watch him. I arrived at the club in the afternoon while they were sound checking. They let me in, and had the amazing privilege to watch Art up close. The mind-blowing power, combined with amazing swing was awesome...a treasured memory!

Those Pressed tolls were among his many incredible signatures. Of all the qualities I appreciate his Mentorship qualities the most. He started the Messengers with legendary Pianist Hirace Silver. I grew up in NYC in the 60s and 70s. My Father, also born and raised in New York grew uo with Bebop and Art was amongst his Favorite drummers and musicians. Many of my favorite Musicians have gone through his band. I'd see him several times a year either in clubs like the Vanguard or Jazzmobile . It was at the latter where he really connected wuth his audience. A free Concert series in tge summer created to entertain and bring music to everyone. He'd talk about the beauty and greatness of the Music, it's culture and need to be continued. He was a proud Man, serious and with a sense of humor.

Got to know Mr. Blakey when I was in my teens, a few years before he passed. He had his problems, to be sure, some of which weren't widely known, but he couldn't have been kinder or more generous to me. Really miss him. Thanks so much, Brandon, for such doing such a wonderful job paying tribute to the man and his, well, art.

Man I was lucky to see so many of his contemporaries and compatriots who still toured the south in the early eighties, and so many new torch-bearers who were influenced by his groove...he was such an innovative jazz engine, My fav albums of his includes, 'Unstoppable', that's what he was.
Never another like him

A Great Gentleman, Mentor and Band Leader. He gave the younger generation of Jazz musicians an incredible platform to hone their skills and be heard worldwide. Buhaina sculpted World Class Jazz Musicians and presented them with a Great opportunity. We used to hang with him in New York and he would always welcome, educate, and encourage us...Art Blakey "Grand Master".
