Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
This is truly one of the great classics of hard bop, with drummer Art Blakey leading arguably his greatest Jazz Messengers lineup through a driving program that never lets up. Tenor saxophonist Benny Golson (whose composition "Along Came Betty" is heard here, subsequently becoming a jazz classic), brilliant trumpeter Lee Morgan, and funky pianist Bobby Timmons (who wrote the hit title cut) each take some of the best solos of their great careers, and Blakey was never greater. No jazz record collection should be without this disc. It remains one of the premier items in Blue Note's catalog, and rightfully so. --Skip Heller

Product Description
Art Blakey's best selling album which made the Jazz Messengers a jazz institution and put Golson, Timmons, and Morgan to the forefront of jazz. (CD + LP) --This text refers to the Vinyl edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars ART BLAKEY BEST RECORD, February 15, 1999
By vev2019@ibox-mbe.com (Caracas, Venezuela) - See all my reviews
This is Blakey's best Record. Try it. Bobby Timmons, Lee Morgan, Benny Golson formed the Messengers's best line up. I do not have words. Go and get the record, then we will talk.

5.0 out of 5 stars pure pleasure, April 29, 2000
By Seth Hurwitz (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
You know how when you buy speakers, the number one rule is "how does it sound?"

I don't know anything about Jazz, really. I surf the Amazon recommendations & reviews, get friends' top tens. And then the bottom line is simply "how does it sound?"

This record is certainly one the absolute best. I just smile and groove on it from start to finish.

Great tunes. Pure pleasure. Hope to find more like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, December 17, 1998
By A Customer
Blakey used a rotating line-up for his Jazz Messengers band, and this overlooked crew produced a soul-jazz classic with "Moanin'." Benny Golson wrote and arranged most of the songs. Check out Blakey's tour de force in the "Drum Thunder Suite."
