### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Album good, Vinyl bad
  

*by G***K on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2018*

First - the album itself is a classic. But the Blue Note reissues are cheaply made by design and direction of Don Was, who currently runs the label. The idea was that they would be cheaper for fans to buy. However, the Blue Note vinyl copy I purchased was pretty bad. I didn't realize how bad it was until after it was too late to return. Seriously, if I were to try to sell this record, I would have to mark it in G+ condition - and that's a brand new record. I have purchased other Blue Note reissues, and they are hit or miss. I have returned several, and kept several that were borderline - maybe more like VG+. This one was the worst one I ever kept, and I regret it enough that I just purchased another new copy from another vendor that I know will be much higher quality vinyl. Kind of a shame to have to buy it all over again. Buyer beware.

    Classic, 5-star album, Terrible Vinyl pressing
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2019*

These 75th Anniversary pressings that Blue Note did a few years back seem like an excellent deal at first glance. They are amazing albums that can be tough to find good quality copies of, so the label that originally put these records out reissuing them as part of a big anniversary seems like a no brainer. Of course they will not be crappy quality, right? Well, you'd be wrong. Listening to this after opening it brand new and then cleaning it before playing it did not impress me. It is noisy and poorly mixed. On top of that, the vinyl itself somehow already was scuffed and had surface scratches. If this were sold to me as VG+ I would think the grader was somewhat generous, yet I bought this brand new. I bought 3 other titles in this 75th Anniversary series and will be listening to them soon to see if they are this bad. I hope they aren't. It pains me to have to return these and lose them from my listening library until I can find good used copies, but I think that's what I will have to do.

    "The Archetypal Hard Bop Group Of The Late 50s".
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2021*

That's how "The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz" describes Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. "Moanin'" may be the best studio album drummer Blakey (1919–1990) ever produced, with what may have been the finest of his bands: Lee Morgan on Trumpet, Benny Goldson on tenor sax, Bobby Timmons on piano, and Jymie Merritt on bass. Several of this album's eight tracks have become standards in the jazz repertoire: "Moanin'" (by Timmons, produced here in two alternate takes, the first being superior), "Along Came Betty" (by Golson), and Golson's "Blue March." But the remaining tracks are just as strong, with "Come Rain Or Come Shine" and the three-movement "Drum Thunder Suite" as standouts.Blakey's emissaries were as aggressive as any mid-century bop band, but their stylings were laced with bluesy shuffles and retained a strong melodic sense. "Moanin,'" a signature album of its time, belongs on any jazz enthusiast's shelf.
