More Art Blakey!

Here is another transcription from the Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers album.  It has some more Blakey licks that are very similar to the last one, but are still great.

Ali Jackson with Wynton Marsallis

I have gotten a majority of the jazz I have from the library at school.  They have a pretty large section with tons of CDs to choose from.  I picked up a Wynton Marsalis album in a huge stack of CDs and this was another great find.

Not only is the whole album a good listen but the drummer Ali Jackson is excellent.  Here a transcription of the intro to the track “Skipping” which has some awesome syncopated licks and some cool hi-hat work. Enjoy!
