Stepping into the legacy of Clifford Brown, Kenny Dorham, Donald Byrd, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Bill Hardman, Wynton Marsalis and the many others that followed Valery in the group, Valery Ponomarevwas a totally unknown musician from Russia, only in the USA for a few years, when he became the Messengers' trumpeter. Art Blakey became a 'father-figure' of sorts for Valery as the Messengers 'roared' through Valery's time with the group. (1976-1980).


Art Blakey's leadership set a standard for all groups of the bebop and hard bop group to follow. The many incarnations of the Messengers were arguably some of the greatest jazz groups of all time. The Messenger repertoire is well represented on this LIVE recording with excellent soloists spread throughout the band.
