Doors 8:30pm / Music 9:00pm. NOTE late start timeJoin Ireland's favourite Art Blakey tribute band for an evening of hard bop classics from the Jazz Messengers.
Formed by drummer Art Blakey in the 1950s as a collective, The Jazz Messengers occupies a special place in the annals of Jazz music in the twentieth century. Notable for fostering the talents of emerging players Blakey enlisted some of the most significant practitioners in the history of the music. Notable examples are Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Benny Golson, Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, Woody Shaw, Cedar Walton, and Wynton and Branford Marsalis, to name just a handful. Many of the compositions that these members would pen for the group went on to become some of the most beloved arrangements for Jazz sextet in all of the music.
Comprising six of Ireland’s finest jazz stalwarts, Aren’t Blakey perform the original arrangements of many of the most iconic works from the Jazz Messengers book – pieces that overflow with joyful hard bop in a way that is always swingin’.
