Description

The LP is in superior condition. I host jazz radio programs and have made sure that all my LPs are of broadcast quality. The jacket is a little shot, though, and has (vintage) adhesive tape on the spine. 

The songs include the debut of Wayne Shorter's "Lester Lfet Town" an eloquent tribute to Lester Young. Nat Hentoff's excellent liner notes (see picture two) quote Shorter about that.

Perhaps the best known and most loved of Art Blakey's works, The Big Beat is a testament to the creative progress of one of the best jazz drummers of all time. Now over 40 years old, The Big Beat is as thunderous as ever. Here, Blakey combines his rhythm with tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter's brilliant composing to make what could only be termed a "structurally raw" album. Each track rips through bebop as quickly as Blakey ripped through drum heads. "Dat Dere" and " Lester Left Town" stand out as part of the true canons for hot jazz…..Blakey created a true jazz treasure in The Big Beat.
