Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers - Moanin download song

There you have that time machine, listen to all this energy of this contagious jazz.

Someday I'll be somewhere near a beach, sitting on the porch in an open white button down, sipping a cocktail and watching the waves crash in the moonlight as this song plays from a record player in the living room.

I'm surprised that no one has commented on how ridiculous the tenor sax solo is. Seriously Benny Golson is the star on this song. For example, he flows from Lee Morgan's solo to his own so well. He shines especially at 4:00. Wow does he go off and completely accent groovy​ notes in the midst of his brilliance.

It never ceases to amaze me that Black Americans were able to produce such brilliant and venerable art in the midst of Jim Crowe/segregation. Jazz is utterly sublime in it’s simultaneous conveyance of the anarchy and order of life. Perhaps this genius would not be evident but for the perseverance through such ignorance and hatred?

I never thought I'd be here, but for some reason I just can't shake it. My hands. I can't shake my own hands. I have no hands.

great jazz ...Lee Morgan is spectacular in his solo..and Bobby Timmons is great..i love how he ends the song rolling on the piano

I was lucky enough to see Blakey in a small club in Stuttgart, Germany, in '88.

I'm here because of "kids on the slope" and now I love listening to jazz

Fun fact: Art Blakey was really a super Jazz icon in Japan in the 60s “When we hit Japan in 1960 or 61, I never saw anything like it. There were 7,000 heads going up and down at the same time and humming every note of everything we played….When we first went to Japan, they had Lee Morgan shirts, Wayne Shorter overcoats, all that kind of stuff in the department stores. The same kind of publicity the Beatles got in the U.S., we got in Japan.” – Art Blakey, quoted by John Litweiler in Down Beat, March 25, 1976, pp.17, 16 “We’ve played a lot of countries, but never has the whole band been in tears when we left. My wife cried all the way to Hawaii.” – Art Blakey, quoted by Don DeMicheal in Down Beat, May 11, 1961, p.15. “I gained a lot of worldly knowledge, due to the places we went to. I would say we were the first bebop, progressive band to go through Japan, as a group and play concerts. Art used to refer to Japan as our second home.” – Wayne Shorter, Down Beat, June 20, 1974, p.16.

Bobby Timmons piano Listen carefully what and when he's playing.

Never in all my life did I expect this song to get popular (outside of Jazz circles) because of an anime.

I'm 56 and growing up my dad played this all the time, and I loved it. Grew up on jazz and I've been listening to this one for a long time. Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers are awsome

I needed some background music while I painted so I put on good ol' Art and I found myself having a fictional and humorous argument using the srarring instruments as my voice, and it was a great passing of time. Then all the sudden the piano interrupted me with a fantastic thought, and the winds said "you're right." over and over. Does any one else hear that? or have I been listening to too much non vocal music?

Who is here cuz of 'Sakamichi No Appollon' ?
