1965 studio album by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers
' S Make It (slang for 'Let's go')[ 1] is a recording by the hard bop Art Blakey jazz ensemble. It was recorded in Los Angeles in 1964 and issued on the Limelight label.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] Following the departure of stars from his 1961 to 1964 band, Freddie Hubbard , Wayne Shorter and Cedar Walton , it includes previous Blakey alumni and newer players.[ 5] This was trombonist Curtis Fuller 's last recording as a regular member of the group, though he would return to record sporadically with Blakey in the 1970s and 80s. The album was re-released on Verve in 2004.[ 6]
Jeffery S. McMillan has called the release one of Blakey's most underrated works and that it exemplifies his 1964–1965 work.[ 8] In a review in the December 1965 issue of Black World , the title track is described as "a diabolical concept, a dark image, invoking the innermost caverns of Manhattan."[ 1] David Rickert calls the album "a fine Messengers album and a good example of the drummer's consistently satisfying work."[ 6] Russ Musto referred to the release as a "return to a more soulful sound".[ 9] Ken Dryden stated in his Allmusic review that "It's a shame that this was the only recording by this particular lineup of the Jazz Messengers, as [John] Gilmore 's strong blowing complements Morgan very well".[ 5]
