In 1958, 'Moanin' by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers was a masterpiece. With great musicians like drummer Art Blakey, trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, pianist Bobby Timmons, and bassist Jymie Merritt, it perfectly captured the band's bluesy and soulful sound. It's perhaps the most classic hard bop recording ever. Originally self - titled, it was renamed 'Moanin' because of Timmons' hit opening track. The album also introduced Golson's great compositions like 'Along Came Betty' and 'Blues March'. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all - analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal. It's from Blue Note Records 2020.
