Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers - Moanin'

Blakey’s playing style is instantly recognisable. It kind of reminds me of those drummers in very early jazz bands, who had like two drums and a tiny cymbal.

Whilst this is clearly a band in which the drummer is the big name, there’s plenty of room left for everyone else to show off their considerable chops.

This is a Blue Note audiophile pressing. Superb quality. I have resolved to buy some more.
