The Jazz Messengers were a jazz combo that existed for over thirty-five years beginning in the early 1950s as a collective,[1][2][3] and ending when long-time leader and founding drummerArt Blakey died in 1990.[4] Blakey led or co-led the group from the outset.[2] "Art Blakey" and "Jazz Messengers" became synonymous over the years, though Blakey did lead non-Messenger recording sessions and played as a sideman for other groups throughout his career.[5][6][7]
