Art Blakey Tony Williams, Stanley Clark Art Blakey Tony Williams/Germany 1972

He switched from pianism to drums in his late teens. Art Blakey is a drummer who represents the jazz world with his wild drumming. This is a superb stereo soundboard recording of the Jazz Now Festival held in Munich in 1972, where these two rare drummers performed together. Stanley Clarke is on bass and George Cables is on piano. The battle between the old and new drummers, which had a huge influence on subsequent drummers, is worth listening to and watching, and in addition to these two, you should also check out the support of Stanley Clarke, who had just joined RTF, on bass, and George Cables, who was said to be a promising young pianist at the time. And the performance is also a must-listen-to and must-see item for jazz rock fans, as it clearly reflects the era of 1972, the heyday of jazz/crossover, and features a tremendous performance.
