High Resolution Mastering by Alan Yoshida and Robin Lynn at Blanche DuBois, April 2012

“In preparing these hi def remasters, we were very conscientious about maintaining the feel of the original releases while adding a previously unattainable transparency and depth. It now sounds like you've set up your chaise lounge right in the middle of Rudy Van Gelder's studio!” - Blue Note President, Don Was.

Moanin’ is the seminal hard-bop masterpiece by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers. It features arguably the band’s finest lineup, which includes Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, Bobby Timmons and Jymie Merritt. The musicians display uncanny chemistry and deliver breathtaking solos. The work includes the timeless jazz classics: “Moanin’,” “Along Came Betty” and “Blues March.” Moanin’ is a pivotal addition to jazz history and a must-have for any jazz collection.
