Our Pick of the Year: Moanin' by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers
Moanin' introduced one of the best-known versions of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Bobby Timmons wrote the title track, while Blues March and Along Came Betty gave the band a clear mix of gospel feeling, blues phrasing and hard-bop drive. It remains a practical starting point for listeners exploring Blue Note jazz.
