He was best known as leader of [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/262128-Art-Blakey-The-Jazz-Messengers]The Jazz Messengers[/url].
Blakey was the foster son in a Seventh Day Adventist Family, learning the piano as he learned the Bible, mastering both at an early age. In the early 1930's, while gigging at the Democratic Club in Pittsburgh, his piano career came to an abrupt end when he was ordered onto the drums to make way for pianist [a262816]. This incident was apparently at the gunpoint of the nightclub's owner, as Blakey often recalled. This had the side effect of Blakey coming under the tutelage of drummer and bandleader [a294491], serving as Webb's valet. Returning to Pittsburgh in 1937, he formed his own band, backing pianist [a59405]. In 1939, he joined and toured with [a307323] for 3 years, followed by a year gigging at Boston's Tic Toc club. Then, working for [a311744], he played with the performed with [a75617], [a64694] and [a8284]. When Eckstine disbanded his group in 1947, Blakey organized the Seventeen Messengers, a rehearsal band, and recorded with an octet called the Jazz Messengers, the first of his many groups bearing this name. In 1948, he visited Africa where he learned polyrhythmic drumming and was introduced to Islam, taking the name Abdullah Ibn Buhaina.
The early 1950's, saw him performing and broadcasting with such musicians as [a23755], [a259082], and [a29973]. Blakey and Silver connected and formed the [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/262128-Art-Blakey-The-Jazz-Messengers]Jazz Messengers[/url]. This band soon evolved into [a262128], in which Blakey was the sole leader with varying personnel, remaining his principal group until his death. From 1947 to 1972, he recorded intermittently with [a145256].
Blakey was a major figure in modern jazz and a significant stylist on drums, as well as a discoverer of musicians for over more than three decades.
