Album: Caravan
Track:

Freddy Hubbard's "Thermo". That's all I have to say about this record...

Oh yeah, and the line-up...Art Blakey: drums; Curtis Fuller: trombone; Freddie Hubbard: trumpet; Wayne Shorter: tenor saxophone; Cedar Walton: piano; Reggie Workman: bass. All stars, man...damn.

Oh, man, between Mosaic, Moanin' and Caravan how does one choose? Better yet, how does one do justice to Art Blakey's contributions to jazz, given a seriously stellar career that dates back to Billy Eckstine's band in the mid 40's? I've been wanting to do a post about Art Blakey, but the vista is so vast and broad that I have a hard time even getting started.

I'll keep thinking about it, but, in the mean time, I should thank you for the inspiration.
