Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arguably the pinnacle of the hard bop movement, recorded by its greatest institution. This version of the Jazz Messengers was an absolute powerhouse, and 'Indestructible' is its definitive statement. The all-star frontline of Morgan, Shorter, and Fuller unleashes solos of immense power and creativity, all driven by Blakey's thunderous, ever-swinging drumming.
