HMV Review

Perhaps the best-known and most loved of Art Blakey's works, The Big Beat is a testament to the creative progress of one of the best jazz drummers of all time. Now over 40-years-old, The Big Beat is as thunderous as ever. Here, Blakey combines his rhythm with tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter's brilliant composing to make what could only be termed a structurally raw album. Each track rips through bebop as quickly as Blakey ripped through drum heads. Dat Dere and Lester Left Town stand out as true canons for hot jazz. Two alternate versions of It's Only a Paper Moon round out the album, both brimming with the fluid integrity of the song and the drive only Blakey could provide. As one of the few drummers to step out and lead, not just play backup, Art Blakey created a true jazz treasure in The Big Beat, Rovi

    It’s　only　a　paper　moon　の編曲には驚き。ショーターの才能を実感する1曲です。Lester　left　town　は、ショーターからレスターへのオマージュらしい。Dat　dere　はライヴでは盛り上がる素晴らしい曲ですね。

    ”The Chess Players”と”Dat dere”が最高にカッコイイと思います◇◆この二曲はライヴ盤の”Unforgetable Lee!”Lee Morganで聴くことができます。音質はもちろん落ちますがライヴならではの熱い演奏が聴けます。特にピアニストのBobby Timmonsが最高に熱くなっています。そちらもオススメです◇◆
