Moanin' Blues isn't really a blues set as much as it's a collection of pianist Bobby Timmons's (1935-74) better known hits. "Moanin'," "Dat Dere" and "This Here" (all from 1960's This Here Is Bobby Timmons on Riverside) are here as well as three tracks from 1960's Soul Time and two tracks apiece from 1961's Easy Does It, 1963's Born to be Blue and 1964's underrated Workin' Out!. These songs, each one worthwhile and interesting, are really only blues in the sense that jazz is derived from the blues. Timmons often utilized blues figures in his playing. But his music was often informed by a soulful bop style that was too easily (and incorrectly) dismissed as simple soul jazz. As was true throughout much of his too-brief recording career, Timmons is heard here most often in trios, occasionally enhanced by undersung soloists like vibraphonist Johnny Lytle ("Trick Hips," "Bag's Groove) or trumpeter Blue Mitchell ("Soul Time," "So Tired"). Despite the well-known material (and the lack of anything from 1966's Soul Man ), nice surprises are in abundance (particularly "Pretty Memory" and the rollicking "A Little Busy"), making Moanin Blues a valuable place to begin exploring the music of Bobby Timmons.

Moanin' Blues no es realmente un conjunto de blues, sino una colección de los éxitos más conocidos del pianista Bobby Timmons (1935-74). "Moanin'", "Dat Dere" y "This Here" (todos de This Here Is Bobby Timmons de 1960 en Riverside) están aquí, así como tres temas de Soul Time de 1960 y dos temas de Easy Does It de 1961, Born to be Blue de 1963 y el infravalorado Workin' Out de 1964. Estas canciones, cada una de las cuales vale la pena y es interesante, son realmente sólo blues en el sentido de que el jazz se deriva del blues. Timmons utilizaba a menudo figuras de blues en su interpretación. Pero su música a menudo se basaba en un estilo de bop conmovedor que era fácilmente (e incorrectamente) descartado como simple soul jazz. Al igual que en la mayor parte de su breve carrera discográfica, Timmons es escuchado aquí más a menudo en tríos, ocasionalmente realzado por solistas poco reconocidos como el vibrafonista Johnny Lytle ("Trick Hips", "Bag's Groove") o el trompetista Blue Mitchell ("Soul Time", "So Tired"). A pesar del material conocido (y de la ausencia de nada del Soul Man de 1966), abundan las sorpresas agradables (en particular "Pretty Memory" y la alegre "A Little Busy"), lo que hace de Moanin Blues un lugar valioso para empezar a explorar la música de Bobby Timmons.
