I added a bunch of refs just now. I'm taking on cleaning this article up. Feedback welcome. So far just refs to the first paragraph, will use them throughout.

Changed and cleaned up the first two sections. Added numerous citations while trying to avoid overkill. More to come.

Add a new article specifically about the Jazz Messengers group. Cleaning up this article given that (removing a bunch of stuff).

Removed Jazz Messengers Alumni section. It was unsourced and is now covered more thoroughly in the Main Jazz Messengers article (Jazz Messengers (jazz combo))

I am a Blakey fan, so this personally pains me, but other musicians from the Messengers stated that Art paid them in heroin, while keeping the cash proceeds from gigs. This exerted both his control over them (granted, to a point ...) and allowed him to materially benefit from this chicanery. I've not gone to sources to grab this material as I have not contributed to this jazz article, but someone should. Btw, Lee Morgan particularly seems to have been victimized by these actions. ~2026-75960-9 (talk) 20:37, 15 February 2026 (UTC) Reply
