The spirit of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers comes roaring back to life in this electrifying tribute led by master drummer Carl Allen, whom Blakey once named an “honorary Messenger.” Joining Allen is an all-star sextet of former Jazz Messengers—trumpeter Brian Lynch, alto saxophonist Donald Harrison, trombonist Robin Eubanks, pianist Benny Green, and bassist Alexander Claffy. From iconic favorites like “Moanin'” and “Blues March” to blazing solos and deep grooves, this unforgettable evening celebrates the music, mentorship, and enduring legacy of one of jazz’s most influential bandleaders.
