Bobby Timmons • This Here Is Bobby Timmons + Soul Time



Biography by Scott Yanow
Bobby Timmons became so famous for the gospel and funky blues clichés in his solos and compositions that his skills as a Bud Powell-inspired bebop player have been long forgotten. After emerging from the Philadelphia jazz scene, Timmons worked with Kenny Dorham (1956), Chet Baker, Sonny Stitt, and the Maynard Ferguson Big Band. He was partly responsible for the commercial success of both Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and Cannonball Adderley's Quintet. For Blakey (who he was with during 1958-1959), Timmons wrote the classic "Moanin'" and, after joining Adderley in 1959, his song "This Here" (followed later by "Dat Dere") became a big hit; it is little wonder that Adderley was distressed when, in 1960, Timmons decided to return to the Jazz Messengers. "Dat Dere" particularly caught on when Oscar Brown, Jr. wrote and recorded lyrics that colorfully depicted his curious son. Timmons, who was already recording as a leader for Riverside, soon formed his own trio but was never able to gain the commercial success that his former bosses enjoyed. Stereotyped as a funky pianist (although an influence on many players including Les McCann, Ramsey Lewis, and much later on Benny Green), Timmons' career gradually declined. He continued working until his death at age 38 from cirrhosis of the liver.

Biografía de Scott Yanow
Bobby Timmons se hizo tan famoso por el gospel y los clichés del blues funky en sus solos y composiciones que sus habilidades como bebopista inspirado en Bud Powell han sido olvidadas hace tiempo. Después de salir de la escena del jazz de Filadelfia, Timmons trabajó con Kenny Dorham (1956), Chet Baker, Sonny Stitt y la Maynard Ferguson Big Band. Fue en parte responsable del éxito comercial de Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers y Cannonball Adderley's Quintet. Para Blakey (con quien estuvo durante 1958-1959), Timmons escribió el clásico "Moanin'" y, después de unirse a Adderley en 1959, su canción "This Here" (seguida más tarde por "Dat Dere") se convirtió en un gran éxito; no es de extrañar que Adderley se angustiara cuando, en 1960, Timmons decidió volver a los Jazz Messengers. "Dat Dere" fue particularmente popular cuando Oscar Brown, Jr. escribió y grabó letras que representaban coloridamente a su curioso hijo. Timmons, que ya estaba grabando como líder de Riverside, pronto formó su propio trío, pero nunca fue capaz de obtener el éxito comercial que sus antiguos jefes disfrutaban. Estereotipado como un pianista funky (aunque influye en muchos músicos como Les McCann, Ramsey Lewis, y mucho más tarde Benny Green), la carrera de Timmons fue decayendo gradualmente. Continuó trabajando hasta su muerte a los 38 años por cirrosis hepática.
