Art Blakey
What are some good jazz (bebop) artists that arent as known?
I already have a fair amount of songs from artists such as John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, Cannonball Adderley, Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers, Dexter Gordon, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Stitt and Wynton Marsalis.
As you can see most of these Jazz artists are known to many Jazz listeners, my question is what are some artists who are not as known. I prefer if they are more modern and I mainly like Bebop but also swing and some Big band.
I was also wondering if there are any songs out there that are similar to my friends recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0ixBJV2Oj8
Thanks for any help
As far as trumpet players go, try Fats Navarro, Kenny Dorham, and the early recording of Blue Mitchell. Also, did anyone mention Freddy Hubbard? Roy Eldridge is a good mix of bebop and swing, too.

A Great Day in Harlem/The Spitball Story [VHS] $1.90 And what a day it was: nearly 60 jazz musicians, gathered on a Harlem street one morning in 1958 for what photographer Art Kane rightly, if immodestly, calls “the greatest picture of that era of musicians ever taken” (incredibly, it was also Kane’s first professional shoot). Like Ken Burns’s Jazz, this 60-minute documentary, an Oscar nominee in 1995, is a mixed-media affair: still photographs and … |

Classic Drum Solos and Drum Battles [VHS] $24.95 A must for students and fans of jazz drumming, Classic Drum Solos and Drum Battles should also be seen by those whose exposure to drumming has been limited to crash-and-bang rock drummers, most of whom couldn’t play a real solo if their paradiddles depended on it. The solos here are from separate performances recorded between 1957 and 1978. Those by Rufus Jones (who makes clear why his nickna… |

Jazz Icons: Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Live in ’58 $9.02 The edition of drummer Art Blakey’s protean Jazz Messengers featured on this DVD had been together for just a couple of months when Live in ’58 was recorded in Brussels, Belgium. As it happened, this quintet would stay together for barely half a year–but what a lineup it was, with Blakey joined by pianist Bobby Timmons, tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, bassist Jymie Merritt, and the astonishing 20… |
