The Buttshakers Not in my Name

Since their last release in 2004, the Blue Hearts have matured as a band and individually as musicians. This CD has all original material written by Ryan Hartt & his cohort Eric Ducoff and has a good time gut bucket sound with excellent harp playing and tasteful traditional guitar work from Eric Ducoff. Hartt's vocals are strong and natural and the band sounds like they have played the songs for a while which adds a listenability to the entire proceedings.

Reissue with the latest remastering. Features original cover artwork. Comes with a descripton in Japanese. Leader of The Jazz Messengers at the time of this recording for over 22 years, drummer Art Blakey was still discovering new talent. In addition to altoist Bobby Watson, trumpeter Valeri Ponomarev and David Schnitter on tenor, this particular session introduced the great pianist James Williams to The Messenger fold. Despite the changes in musical fashions, Art Blakey and his hard-bop institution were still turning out new material and solos in the late '70s that sound fresh and alive today.
