"One of the most beloved recordings of all time, Moanin' is one of the few albums where listeners actually remember where they were the first time they heard it. In fact, the release of 1958 Moanin is when the Jazz Messengers became a permanent jazz institution, a laboratory in swinging jazz. Shortly before this recording was made, tenor- saxophonist Benny Golson persuaded Blakey to hire three brilliant young Philadelphians (Lee Morgan, Bobby Timmons and bassist Jymie Merritt) for the band. With Golson, Timmons and Morgan contributing new songs, the Jazz Messengers quickly had a fresh repertoire, their own sound, and an infectious enthusiasm that can still be felt today. These musicians knew that they were creating some of the world's greatest music. Moanin finds the band combining youthful soul with hard-swinging solos.
The Jazz Messengers are simply thrilling throughout this album. They introduce the definitive gospel-drenched soul jazz tune Moanin (the solos of Morgan, Golson and Timmons would be quoted by other musicians for decades), Along Came Betty and Blues March on this remarkable album. Blakey's drumming is explosive in the extreme, inspiring the musicians to play as if every chorus might be their last. The passion and intensity heard throughout Moanin makes this an all-time classic."
