"This is Blakey's best Record. Try it. Bobby Timmons, Lee Morgan, Benny Golson formed the Messengers's best line up. I do not have words. Go and get the record, then we will talk."
Pure pleasure

"You know how when you buy speakers, the number one rule is "how does it sound?"I don't know anything about Jazz, really. I surf the Amazon recommendations & reviews, get friends' top tens. And then the bottom line is simply "how does it sound?"This record is certainly one the absolute best. I just smile and groove on it from start to finish. Great tunes. Pure pleasure. Hope to find more like this."
OUTSTANDING!

"A cornerstone of jazz music! There should be an option to give 6 stars. 50's blue-note super record! Energy, power, talent, fun! A pure listening pleasure. I could listen to Moanin' once, twice..., 100 times without getting stuffed. So, buy that great album today - I promise - you will enjoy listening it for the rest of your live!"

"Art Blakey is an almost legendary jazz drummer, and this CD starts off with one of his classics: Moanin'. I have heard several different versions of this song, and I think the two on this album are the best. Also, the subtle complexities of his "Drum Thunder Suite" give us a glimpse into a level of apendage independance most drummers can only dream about. A great and worthwhile CD if you like 50's style jazz."
