Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers- Moanin'

Label: DOL

Reissued 2020, Originally released 1959

Blakey's most successful LP gave listeners Bobby Timmons' "Moanin'" and Benny Golson's "Along Came Betty" and "Blues March" - tunes so powerful that Blakey played them almost every night for the next 30 years! This beautifully performed and recorded session made the Jazz Messengers a jazz institution
