"Bobby Timmons one of the prime leaders of the soul jazz era wrote some of the finest pieces in that era, such as Dat Dere, This Here, and Moanin'. Most people only know of Bobby Timmons as a sideman Most people only know of Moanin' in the setting of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Same as Dat Dere. This Here was written for Cannonball Adderley's Quintet, which Bobby was in, in San Francisco. But hey when you have a pianist like Bobby Timmons who needs those horns any way? This album demonstrates Bobby's talents to the full from standards and ballads like Lush Life to My Funny Valentine to his awesome pieces Dat Dere, Moanin', and This Here. This album truly shows Bobby, one of the finest soul jazz pianists, as a leader not a sideman and at his prime. Any one familiar with Dat Dere, Moanin', or This Here should definitely check this album out."

"This 1960 Riverside release stands as one of the best representations of a jazz piano trio in my opinion. "This Here Is Bobby Timmons" is by far one of the finest in its field, no doubt about it. From start to finish, this is a stellar album from Timmons. Sam Jones and Jimmy Cobb round out there trio and do a fantastic job. Jazz piano trio at its finest. Highly recommended."
