He is known as a powerful musician and a vital groover; his brand of bluesy, funky hard bop was and continues to be profoundly influential on mainstream jazz. For more than 30 years his band, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers included many young musicians who went on to become prominent names in jazz. The band's legacy is thus not only known for the often exceptionally fine music it produced, but as a proving ground for several generations of jazz musicians; Blakey's groups are matched only by those of Miles Davis in this regard.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Art+Blakey","playStationPath":"/stations/113401085/play","stationId":113401085,"bioPath":"/music/Art+Blakey/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Wes+Montgomery","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bcc/bcc8884737d7eefffbfaa425fae8c66a_md.jpg","artistName":"Wes Montgomery","artistId":2373,"station_id":113277350},{"musicPath":"/music/Yusef+Lateef","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d4c/d4c1b6b146a74aac5f2d5568818da5fa_md.jpg","artistName":"Yusef Lateef","artistId":100814,"station_id":280763301},{"musicPath":"/music/Horace+Silver","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/373/373ef0110ccbd70a3fa41149fdf7348b_md.jpg","artistName":"Horace Silver","artistId":13287,"station_id":113266946},{"musicPath":"/music/Wynton+Kelly","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/740/7400aedf8ff230c51b7a1dd086d78a2c_md.jpg","artistName":"Wynton Kelly","artistId":78727,"station_id":267556536},{"musicPath":"/music/Django+Reinhardt","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4f9/4f9840cf1384420dd63766c7f323faef_md.jpg","artistName":"Django Reinhardt","artistId":1010,"station_id":113377643},{"musicPath":"/music/Erroll+Garner","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/abc/abc407628b04c46f43883c510a17cc02_md.jpg","artistName":"Erroll Garner","artistId":13284,"station_id":113770966},{"musicPath":"/music/Buddy+Rich","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a0c/a0caf623c4dd3c3720e70c8812004df1_md.jpg","artistName":"Buddy Rich","artistId":13270,"station_id":113522667},{"musicPath":"/music/Lee+Konitz","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/043/043e93b3b67ac7bd13c513b9a165818f_md.jpg","artistName":"Lee Konitz","artistId":14172,"station_id":115267881},{"musicPath":"/music/Wynton+Marsalis","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/70b/70b3bb01586d58427e16f8e3bdb33c35_md.jpg","artistName":"Wynton Marsalis","artistId":2370,"station_id":113455220},{"musicPath":"/music/Roy+Haynes","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/178/178b1d1990f4aff39bb3c040ae783ce0_md.jpg","artistName":"Roy Haynes","artistId":12721,"station_id":113346067},{"musicPath":"/music/Lennie+Tristano","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0a8/0a8e092452cd05a672780732eda68c17_md.jpg","artistName":"Lennie Tristano","artistId":102516,"station_id":280764239},{"musicPath":"/music/Joe+Pass","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/425/42563626d0553734ac3bfd924fb2ff8a_md.jpg","artistName":"Joe Pass","artistId":55254,"station_id":259467919},{"musicPath":"/music/Louis+Armstrong","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2ed/2ed51911a223b4064d099d94a9087426_md.jpg","artistName":"Louis Armstrong","artistId":509,"station_id":113266523},{"musicPath":"/music/Charlie+Parker+Dizzy+Gillespie","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bc9/bc9831bf644bdaab8fa5e06388293277_md.jpg","artistName":"Charlie Parker \u0026 Dizzy Gillespie","artistId":114146,"station_id":282638951},{"musicPath":"/music/Anita+O+Day","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/24a/24a0a096344b2d2c71dc125696af46fc_md.jpg","artistName":"Anita O'Day","artistId":7735,"station_id":113636096},{"musicPath":"/music/Horace+Silver+Quintet","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/237/237602fa1302dda14526c5a64ce9ce64_md.jpg","artistName":"Horace Silver Quintet","artistId":364035,"station_id":394267388},{"musicPath":"/music/Red+Garland","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/817/817f8f16d468580bc718f269778a9c91_md.jpg","artistName":"Red Garland","artistId":13300,"station_id":113693119},{"musicPath":"/music/Oscar+Peterson+Trio","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/82e/82ea0e85f01f7e4c5fbda65cfde9c468_md.jpg","artistName":"Oscar Peterson Trio","artistId":462714,"station_id":401356943}]}
