The record
Title: Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers – Drum Suite
Year/Genre/City: 1957, Jazz, New York City, NY
Matrix #: CL 1002
Condition: VG+, worn from age but plays great.
Cultural Facts:
-
Scene Ecology: The Jazz Messengers were a proving ground—young players cycled through Blakey’s band, then left as leaders of the hard-bop era.
-
Studio Lore: Built around extended, suite-style writing—unusual for a label expecting short sides, showing Blakey pushing format as much as tempo.
-
Media Narrative: Blakey’s role became bigger than drummer—“Messengers” read like a stamp of legitimacy in jazz press and booking culture.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
