Biografia[modifica | modifica wikitesto]
Proveniente da Pittsburgh dove era nato, Blakey giunge a New York nel 1938 con
la pianista Mary Lou Williams. Nel 1940 entra nel gruppo del pianista
e bandleader Fletcher Henderson, ma il salto di qualità artistico e professionale lo compie
tra il 1943 e il 1947, quando viene ingaggiato dalla prima orchestra bop del cantante Billy
Eckstine; con lui nella band ci sono Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro, Sarah
Vaughan e i nove decimi del gotha della storia del be-bop. Durante una lunga visita
in Africa occidentale, verso fine degli anni quaranta, si converte all'Islam, assumendo il
nome di Abdullah Ibn Buhaina.
Art Blakey nella sua carriera partecipò a varie manifestazioni nel centro e
nord Europa esibendosi in Belgio, Italia, Svizzera, Germania ecc. In Italia nel 1963, in
occasione del Festival Internazionale del Jazz di San Remo, presentato da Adriana Serra,
suonò i suoi più noti brani jazz in compagnia di un sestetto formato da musicisti tra i più
rappresentativi del Jazz-Bebop anni cinquanta-sessanta. La formazione era composta
da Freddie Hubbard, tromba; Curtis Fuller, trombone; Wayne Shorter, sax tenore; Cedar
Walton, piano; Reggie Workman, contrabbasso; Art Blakey, batteria e bandleader.[1]
