...BLAKEY WITH THE ORIGINAL JAZZ MESSENGERS (Jazz Odyssey). Drummer Blakey was the spark that lit up several small groups in the '50s. Here, reissued, is a particularly successful set, with one of the finest Blakey combos-Horace Silver on piano, Hank Mobley on tenor sax, Donald Byrd on trumpet and Doug Watkins on bass.
