Remembering Bobby Timmons on his birthday! Pianist Bobby Timmons by early 1960 had already had successful stints with Art Blakey (where he contributed Moanin) and Canonball Adderley (writing This Here and Date Dere). For his first recording as a leader, Timmons (whose funky style was beginning to become very influential) performs those three hits along with his own Joy Ride and five standards in a trio with bassist Sam Jones and drummer Jimmy Cobb. Always more than just a soul-jazz pianist, Timmons became a bit stereotyped later in his career but at this early stage was at the peak of his creativity. Essential music
