Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers – Crisis

Sunday Jazz Continues as I reminisce on past episodes / check my files and archives!

I remember riding I-20 here in Atlanta listening to 88.5 WRAS The Georgia State University radio station on a Sunday morning; back in the day? they were all the way live!!

They usually had a jazz program going on Sunday morning, these days they have NPR programming!!

I was rolling through, next thing you know they played some Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers and a track called Crisis;  this tune stayed in my head for while, these cats were jamming!!

After doing a little research / doing the knowledge I liked the way this one is flowing so I posted it up.

Checked the  archives, saw that the link was broken so were re-posting it. check the players and the track, it's perfect for this Sunday night while were chilling / posted up!

Checking out the mood swings here in Atlanta, some are mad because defending champion Atlanta Braves were eliminated from the playoffs!

Others were walking around in there Atlanta Falcon outfits because the Falcons beat the San Francisco 49ers; I happened to be rocking a Carolina Panthers jersey so I’m trying to play it off!
