<p> DIED. Art Blakey, 71, drummer and bandleader whose Jazz
Messengers served for almost four decades as a training ground
for top musicians; of lung cancer; in New York City. A veteran
of the Fletcher Henderson and Billy Eckstine big bands, Blakey
worked with Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, and founded the
Messengers in the 1940s. Pianist Keith Jarrett, saxophonist
Jackie McLean and trumpeters Freddie Hubbard and Wynton
Marsalis were a few of the artists he nurtured into stardom.
