Thank you, Ms. Ava DuVernay! I wouldn't have discovered the artistic genius of Mr. Al Bright without being moved to my core by "Origin." Thank you both! "Art in all its glorious forms is immortal." - Sidnitra Christine Bates

The greatest!

I love the way he checked Wynton!👌🏾😎

A great MAN who happens to be a great Musician!😊

Al blessed the sanctuary with his unique blend of artistic expression. 6 weeks for the paint to cure, awesome!

He's one of the greatest jazz musicians, and one of the greatest drummers beyond that. Also, Sinatra had his "hat years" and so did Art!

Did the interviewer actually say 1:07 "You weren't JUST a drummer in the beginning"?

Only one in a hundred Americans on the street would recognize his name, but it would be with love and respect for one of the greatest US drummers and mentors of talent in jazz--a distinctly American art form that seems hardly known in the 21st century. Thankfully, hundreds of his records are around, plus plenty of videos of Jazz Messengers performances, and as long as music lovers are around a loyal Blakey fan base will always re-emerge.

yes, Mr Blakey is right, a jazz musician is the most proficient on the instruments they play on..in any music

Nice interview. He seems like a laid-back, sympathetic cat.

This was part of the Columbus Arts Festival. Joe Hunter - keyboards Andy Woodson - bass Joel Steward - drums

I guess he didn’t know about Buddy Bolden

My favorite jazz drummer

God bless Art Blakey; I was fortunate to sit just feet away from him at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach on the tour to support Gypsy Folk Tales, around '77. It was a spiritual experience!

6:34 the lick

Who is playing bass

The Maestro himself...the Master...

Interviewers wing it due to nervousness and stock questions roll out. If you thinks this interviewer is bad, check out most of the interviews with Miles Davis. At least this interviewer at least knows some of the history and the music.

“.’..marching back from the cemetery. Someone goofed, and jazz was born....won’t retire, will keep playing until someone pats me on the face with a shovel ...no America, no jazz”

That piano is annoying.

This was part of the Columbus Arts Festival in June, 1990. Vince Andrews: sax, vocals and keys, Joe Hunter: keyboards. Andy Woodson: bass. Joel Steward: drums.

The family of Art.

VIdeo tape beyond all formats !

The horn section of tenor saxophone, trumpet and trombone is "bad" for days!😠 But who are these young, unsung heroes?😠

Man, that was damn gracious of Art to put up with all of that interruption and jive. Bless him and his massively powerful heart.

H

In 1980, Art Blakey was only 60. What's with the questions about slowing down with old age??

He seems like a humble man

...was looking for some old tracks of vince andrews...came across this....excellent!!!....any exhibits?

This interviewer is so mediocre.

Why didnt the piano player have the courtesy to disest,shut up,stop playing ,hang it up,cut it out while Art and Al were conducting this interview? Give me a break,,the piano was not that hot anyway ,it was an amature "noodling" OK,,,he knew damn well these guys were trying to have a nice interview.Wheres the Goddamn respect?? Gotta give props to Art,,,he put up with this bullshit for a time and finally said enough.Respect your elders and teachers y'all .I can hear bullshit piano in any jive jazz music store.I would rather hear Papa Art Blakey speak his mind,,,wouldnt you?DD

Art should punch him in the face

nobody can play like that Cat called Khalid...lost track of him so not sure but I always enjoyed seeing him play

this interviewer is horrendous

Words of gold from the be bop drum legend👍

Couldn't even get Art's last name correct. That's bad...

I'm glad somebody had the good sense to do this interview. Art spoke a lot of truth and gave use a lot of history and insight.

Lol @ Wynton playing loud

5000 views WOW!!!!

8:30 "Hey Wynton, wait a minute..."

I was actually at that concert.

Amazing to see the white canvas transformed into a Masterpiece!

Amazing interview that came out of Youngstown Ohio event! Can't wait to see Al Bright paint live again.

Thank you for sharing this.

Great interview!

4:25 is when the good stuff starts

Such a pleasure to see.
