The Jazz Messengers
![The Jazz Messengers in 1960. From left: [[Lee Morgan]], [[Wayne Shorter]] (obscured), [[Jymie Merritt]], and [[Art Blakey]]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d1/12-17-1960_17717_Art_Blakey_%286331548858%29_%28cropped%29.jpg)
The group evolved into a proving ground for young jazz talent. While veterans occasionally re-appeared in the group, by and large, each iteration of the Messengers included a lineup of new young players. Having the Messengers on one's resume was a rite of passage in the jazz world, and conveyed immediate bona fides.
Many former members of the Jazz Messengers established careers as solo musicians, such as Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Bobby Timmons, Hank Mobley, Curtis Fuller, Cedar Walton, Billy Harper, Keith Jarrett, Joanne Brackeen, Woody Shaw, Chuck Mangione, Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis, Terence Blanchard, Donald Harrison and Mulgrew Miller. Some members, such as bassist Clarence Seay and Gregory Charles Royal, are documented to have played in the Jazz Messengers but did not record with the group. Provided by Wikipedia
