MOANIN’
1958, BLUE NOTE
In the song, brunettes don't count for nothing. And in jazz, drummers don't count for nothing. Thus Art Blakey, who finds himself, in the mid-fifties, the head of the Jazz Messengers following pianist Horace Silver. The group is made up of energetic young wolves of hard bop: Lee Morgan on trumpet, Benny Golson on saxophone, Bobby Timmons on piano, Jymie Merritt on double bass. This group invents unmatched harmonies and melodies, like this classic opening "Moanin’." The music is groovy, bluesy, and joyful like a spring morning in New Orleans. In charge of the rhythm, Art Blakey performs his duty in a blend of discreet efficiency and jubilant accelerations. He is the tiger in the engine of this beautiful groove machine that the Blue Note label is delighted to now have in its stable.
