Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Moanin'

An absolute pillar of the hard bop genre. This is a jazz style that evolved from bebop and cool jazz, incorporating elements of soul, gospel, and blues. The title track Moanin' was born by chance: pianist Bobby Timmons was simply playing this bluesy motif during rehearsal breaks as a joke, but Art Blakey heard a future hit in it and insisted he write a full composition. This album is so lively and rhythmic that listening to it on vinyl makes it feel as if Blakey's ride cymbal is vibrating right in your room!

Scenario by OBERTY: a cozy evening after a long day. A soft armchair, the dimmed yellow light of a floor lamp. The music fills every corner of the room, making you involuntarily tap along to the beat. The perfect musical antidepressant and complete synchronization with the rhythm of classic New York.
