Jazz courier is a huge inheritance system, whether from the humanities or music. Its earliest form was a Late Night Session long held by Art Blakey and Horace Silver in Cafe Bohemia in the late 1940s. From the first day on, they have made clear the core concept: to find the innovation and energy of young people, and to inherit the jazz spirit! So Art Blakey & Jazz Messengers is no longer as simple as a band, but more like an organization. The nature of this layer has never changed in the years since, with more than 400 Jazz Temple masters joining the group, and even when Mr. Blakey died in 1990, the blood continued. From Clifford Brown to Jaremy Pelt,Brian Lynch, from Horace Silver to Benny Green,Kavin Hays, even from Blakey himself to Ralph Peterson. . From people to music, everything is developing, but at the same time, everything is sticking to it. To this day, the "unofficial" organization has more than 5000 famous jazz musicians around the world who have their own music fields and so-called circles, but when the slogan of "Messengers" rings, the blood will instantly return to the way it was 70 years ago!
