Just like that, Art Blakey became a drummer, without much of a break in his musical career. He studied with Chic Webb and started working with Mary Lou Williams. Blakey toured with Fletcher Henderson and followed that, with Billy Eckstein’s band, which included Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Sara Vaughn. Blakey traveled to Africa in the late 1940s and learned about polyrhythmic drumming. In 1954 Art teamed up with Horace Silver, Lou Donaldson, Clifford Brown and Curly Russell. He and Horace Silver formed one of the most successful groups The Jazz Messengers. By the 1960's Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers were regulars on the club scene and in recording studios. They toured Europe and North Africa and became the first American Jazz group to play in Japan. Blakey continued strong until he passed away in 1990 at the age of 71. Some of the awards given to Art include Newport Jazz Festival Hall of Fame in 1971, Downbeat Jazz Hall of Fame Reader’s Choice Award in 1981, a Grammy for “Best Instrumental Jazz Performance” in 1984 for his album ‘New York Scene’, Doctorate of Music from Berklee College of Music in 1987, and posthumously two Grammy Hall of Fame Awards for the tune ‘Moanin’ as well as the album.

Ray Brown - b. 13th Oct 1926; d. 7th Feb 2002; bass; A major early influence on Brown's bass playing was Duke Ellington's bassist Jimmy Blanton. After high school, he heard stories about the jazz scene on 52nd Street, in New York City and bought a one way ticket. He met up with pianist Hank Jones, and introduced to Dizzy Gillespie, who was looking for a bass player. Gillespie hired Brown on the spot. Brown became acquainted with singer Ella Fitzgerald when she joined the Gillespie band for a tour of the southern United States in 1947. The two married that year although they divorced in 1952.  It was at a Jazz at the Philharmonic concert in 1949 that Brown first worked with the jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, in whose trio Brown would play from 1951 to 1966. In 1966, he settled in Los Angeles working in sessions, tv shows and orchestras. In the 1980s and 1990s he led his own trios and continued to refine his style. He first heard Diana Krall play at a workshop and, impressed with her piano skills (she was not yet singing) introduced her to bassist John Clayton. Jeff Hamilton and Clayton both encouraged Krall to move to Los Angeles to study under Ray Brown and others.

Ratamacue   3:03 Cab Calloway and His Orchestra & Cozy Cole Legendary Jazz Drummers (D Grusin/H Mason) Stardust Records CLP #3720 2009 William Randolph "Cozy" Cole was born in East Orange, NJ, on October 17, 1909. He moved to New York City in 1926 and soon became fascinated with the work of Duke Ellington's percussionist Sonny Greer. By 1928 he was performing and his first recordings were with Jelly Roll Morton in 1930. After working for several years with Blanche Calloway & Her Joy Boys and the Benny Carter Orchestra, he started making records with bands led by Willie Bryant and pianist Teddy Wilson and backing vocalists Billie Holiday, Midge Williams, Mildred Bailey. In 1940, Cozy Cole took his decade of experience and descended upon the Cab Calloway Orchestra. Cole was the main focus of "Ratamacue," "Paradiddle," and "Crescendo in Drums." Almost with complete silence, Cozy broke many of the racial barriers in music. He was the first black musician on a network musical staff. CBS radio hired him to work with bandleader Raymond Scott In 1943. He performed wildly rhythmic drum solo"Beat Out Dat Rhythm on a Drum" in the Broadway production of Oscar Hammerstein II's Carmen Jones.
