5.0 out of 5 stars Horns...who needs them?!, June 6, 2003

By	"sranney22" (Austin TX) - See all my reviews

Bobby Timmons one of the prime leaders of the soul jazz era wrote some of the finest pieces in that era, such as Dat Dere, This Here, and Moanin'. Most people only know of Bobby Timmons as a sideman Most people only know of Moanin' in the setting of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Same as Dat Dere. This Here was written for Cannonball Adderley's Quintet, which Bobby was in, in San Francisco. But hey when you have a pianist like Bobby Timmons who needs those horns any way? This album demonstrates Bobby's talents to the full from standards and ballads like Lush Life to My Funny Valentine to his awesome pieces Dat Dere, Moanin', and This Here. This album truly shows Bobby, one of the finest soul jazz pianists, as a leader not a sideman and at his prime. Any one familiar with Dat Dere, Moanin', or This Here should definitely check this album out.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fingersnapping milestone, August 25, 2000

By A Customer

That Bobby Timmons was a great composer, this album is the proof of. It contains the first versions of some of his greatest and most popular compositions: "this here", "dat dere" and "moanin'. It's one of those trio records, that swings like a whole orchestra, yet conveys such an intimate feeling of joy. This record is so contageous that your fingers will start snapping by the end of the first chord, you just wait and see. Essential soul jazz at its very best.
