Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: Moanin (LP) deluxe

Part of the Jean-Pierre Leloir Collection, the 180 gram LP Moanin’ released in 1958, was Art Blakey’s first album for Blue Note in several years. The title selection is a pure tuneful melody stewed in a bluesy shuffle penned by pianist Bobby Timmons, while tenor saxophonist Benny Golson’s classy, slowed ‘Along Came Betty’ and the static, militaristic ‘Blues March’ will always have a home in the repertoire of every student or professional jazz band. 180 gram HQ limited edition LP
