"More than any other album in the canon of & The Jazz Messengers, 1958s Moaninfeaturing the great drummer with trumpeter , tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, pianist Bobby Timmons, and bassist was the perfect crystallization of the bands bluesy, soulful sound, and it still stands today as perhaps the most quintessential hard bop recording of all-time. Originally self-titled, the album was later renamed Moanin due to the popularity of Timmons unforgettable opening track. The album also introduced several indelible Golson compositions that would become standards of the jazz songbook including 'Along Came Betty' and 'Blues March.' This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal." -
