Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - 'S Make It (1964) Japanese Remastered 2002

This edition of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers is an unusual one. The personnel includes Blakey veterans Lee Morgan (returning to the band after some success as a leader), Curtis Fuller, and Victor Sproles, along with John Hicks (who appeared on three other Blakey records) and the tenor saxophonist John Gilmore (of Sun Ra fame) in his only appearance with the band. As was typical of Blakey-led groups, the emphasis is on original material by its members; the one Broadway show tune included, "Faith," is from a long since forgotten I Had a Ball. Morgan's driving blues "'S Make It" is easily the highlight of the session, though Hicks' richly voiced "Waltz for Ruth" and Fuller's Latin-flavored "Little Hughie" also deserve to be better known than they are. It's a shame that this was the only recording by this particular lineup of the Jazz Messengers, as Gilmore's strong blowing complements Morgan very well.

Review by Ken Dryden, Allmusic.com

The Blue Note Jazz Messengers recordings are so highly regarded that the ones the group did for other labels at around the same time tend to fall by the wayside. This shouldn't be the case; Blakey was such a determined taskmaster that he was able to get great performances out of his players on just about every occasion.

1964's 'S Make It features a transitional Messengers lineup, with Morgan returning to the fold and John Gilmore as the wild card in his only appearance with the band. They join current member Curtis Fuller in the front line on the expected tight playing over the gospel-tinged romps that were par for the course in the early days of Blakey's groups. John Hicks infuses the title track with a soulful groove that Bobby Timmons would be proud to call his own while Morgan fires up solos of flatted fifths and smears that he perfected on his Blue Note albums. Fuller, of course, follows along nicely and Gilmore may surprise those who only know him from Sun Ra's Arkestra with his ability to match the other two in the front line with a robust, bar-walking style.

The first part of this album is pretty typical fare, but the last two songs are a different beast altogether. Both are smoky ballads that are essentially showcases for Morgan, who plays with a tenderness and subtlety that he often isn't given credit for. Blakey, as always, provides leadership by not being a showman but giving his sidemen the support they need to shine.
