I've tried and failed many times to get into jazz, however

havent heard that messengers record, but most jazz band have top tier passion and energy

>>70564646
Have you listened to other Blakey albums?

>>70564646
Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers - s/t (same band as you posted but with Horace Silver on piano instead)
Cannonball Adderley - Somethin Else

These albums definitely "rock" and have a lot of passion, and are very consistent too

I'm not a fan of the casual blowing over a chill beat: Coltrane, Davis, Rollins, Peterson, Monk etc. are all super talented but I don't find them emotinally engaging whatsoever. The drum intro to A Night in Tunisia gives me goosebumps every time I hear it, it's like he's trying to hit through the drums.

Rule of thumb for jazz: look up all the musicians that are playing on an album you like

this

also op check out max roach. he was very much like blakey in that he was a drummer bandleader who composed and performed very chaotic and intense hard bop

Try Mingus. The Clown and Blues and Roots might swing hard enough for you. Skip the Black Saint and the Sinner Lady until you have found a comfortable spot in the jazz world.

I'm a trumpet player, so here's my recs... give Dizzy Gillespie a shot. The Trumpet Kings at Montreux is a lovely listen for some crazy trumpet shit. Also try out John Faddis- Legacy. Probably one of the most fantastic intros to any jazz album.

you've obviously never listened to any of those musicians past the 50s then
