Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers was one of the most enduring,
popular, reliable and vital small bands in modern jazz history.
Blakey was not only a distinguished, inventive and powerful
drummer, but along with Duke Ellington and Miles Davis, he was one
of jazz's foremost talent scouts. The musicians who flowed
seamlessly in and out of this constantly evolving collective during
its 36-year run were among the most important artists not just of
their eras, but of any era. Though their respective innovations
were vital to the evolution of bebop, hard bop and neo bop, the
recorded work of the Messengers sidemen has never been properly
analyzed. Until now. Hard Bop Academy: The Sidemen of Art Blakey's
Jazz Messengers critically examines the multitude of gifted artists
who populated the many editions of the Jazz Messengers. In addition
to dissecting the sidemen's most consequential work with Blakey's
band, jazz musician and acclaimed novelist Alan Goldsher offers up
engaging profiles of everyone from Wynton Marsalis to Terence
Blanchard to Hank Mobley to Wayne Shorter to Horace Silver to Keith
Jarrett to Curtis Fuller to Steve Davis. And that's only the
beginning. Goldsher conducted over 30 interviews with surviving
graduates of Blakey's Hard Bop Academy, many of whom spoke at
length of their tenure with the legendary "Buhaina" for the first
time. Alan Goldsher is a bassist who has recorded with Janet
Jackson, Digable Planets, Cypress Hill and Naughty By Nature. His
writing has been published in Bass Player, Tower Pulse, Sport and
BasketBull: Chicago Bulls Magazine. Goldsher's debut novel, Jam,
was published in 2002 by Permanent Press. He lives in Chicago.
