Our Take

Ah, ART BLAKEY's "Moanin" – a true masterpiece of jazz that is sure to have you tapping your feet and bobbing your head in no time. This album oozes with soul and passion, showcasing Blakey's remarkable talent on the drums and his ability to bring together a group of musicians that just click.

From the iconic opening track "Moanin'" with its infectious melody and hard-hitting rhythms, to the uplifting and joyful "Along Came Betty", each song on this album is a gem in its own right. The bonus tracks included on this reissue only serve to enhance the listening experience, giving fans even more reason to dive into Blakey's world of music.

The chemistry between the players is palpable, with Lee Morgan's trumpet soaring above the arrangements and Benny Golson's saxophone adding a smooth and sultry touch. Bobby Timmons' piano playing is a highlight, injecting a sense of playfulness and spontaneity into the mix.

Overall, "Moanin" is a timeless classic that deserves a spot in every jazz enthusiast's collection. So sit back, relax, and let the music transport you to a smoky jazz club in the heart of New York City – you won't be disappointed.
