Live at Village Vanguard (DVD), Quantum Leap, Music & Performance

In the case of Art Blakey, the name "jazz legend" is wholly appropriate.

They were pivotal in nurturing the hard edged bebop sound and the jazz greats of the future This unique DVD recorded in 1982 also includes a set by Johnny Griffin.
