A member of
the Jazz Messengers
from 1961 to 1964, during one of the group's most creative and influential periods, it makes sense that pianist
Cedar Walton
would desire to return to these roots. Together with an all-star group of former
Jazz Messengers
,
Walton
pays homage to his old boss on
The Art Blakey Legacy
. This live set, recorded at
Sweet Basil
in New York City, is a fiery and energetic tribute that features, among others, trumpeter
Philip Harper
, tenor saxophonist
Javon Jackson
, and trombonist
Steve Turre
. Interestingly, drummer
Billy Higgins
, who was not a member of
the Messengers
, plays here, adding his spectacular and intuitive abilities. Although not someone you would immediately think of as a successor to the
Blakey
style,
Higgins
nonetheless propels the group fiercely. Also joining in on two selections is ex-
Messenger
(and leader in his own right) alto saxophonist
Lou Donaldson
, showcasing his undiminished funkiness. This live tribute lives up to
's legacy. ~ Matt Collar
