Product Description:
The title of the Jazz Messengers’’ THE FREEDOM RIDER was inspired by civil rights protestors of the ‘‘60s. The passion with which Blakey and his men play on this session is proof enough of the strong convictions at the heart of the struggles of the time. Indeed, the fire and emotion contained herein can be felt as well as heard. This session portrays the Messengers of the early ‘‘60s (before the departure of Lee Morgan and Bobby Timmons) in fine form.
The bulk of the compositions here are by Wayne Shorter and Lee Morgan. Shorter’‘s swaggering “Tell It Like It Is” opens the set, fueled by Blakey’‘s signature shuffle beat. Later, his bouncing “El Toro” is a passionate mambo/swing number that showcases the group’‘s stunning ensemble work. Morgan’‘s bluesy “Petty Larceny” takes a page from Timmons soulful style and his blistering “Uptight” is a classic Messengers barnburner. The centerpiece of the disc, however, is the powerful unaccompanied Blakey solo that constitutes the title cut. The cut showcases the man at his skilled, dramatic best as he crashes, pounds and whirls through over seven minutes of raw, primal expression. This performance alone is worth the price of the disc..

review:
This live set from the original Birdland finds Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers at the peak of their powers with one of their strongest lineups. The group primarily recorded sessions for Alfred Lion’‘s Blue Note label, but this Riverside date is as strong as any of their previous outings. Having acquired the services of trombonist Curtis Fuller in 1961, the Messengers’’ front line was its most robust ever, with Wayne Shorter and Freddie Hubbard consistently turning in some of their best performances. Rounding out the rhythm section with Blakey are the equally powerful Reggie Workman and Cedar Walton. The Messengers’’ set list finds the majority of tunes written by musical director Wayne Shorter, as well as a few choice numbers from Curtis Fuller and Cedar Walton’‘s title cut. The group is spurred on by a very receptive crowd, tempos and solos are spirited for the most part, and Blakey seems exceptionally energetic despite not performing a single extended solo himself. His between-song banter is equally entertaining. Overall, the group is precise, expressive, and swinging hard, delivering its message from the grandest platform of the time.

Art Blakey: drums
