The album Our Father Who Art Blakey is the debut release of a big band led by Russian trumpeter Valery Ponomarev, released in 2015 on the Zoho Music label.
Ponomarev, a former member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, pays tribute to his mentor by adapting compositions associated with Blakey for a big band format. The album includes tracks like "Moanin'," "Blues March" (featuring tenor saxophonist Benny Golson), Freddie Hubbard's "Crisis," and Duke Jordan's "Jordu."
Ponomarev's arrangements reflect his dedication to bebop, combining traditional harmonic structures with a modern sound. The album has been highly praised for its energetic performances and creative approach to classic jazz repertoire.
