Description
Bobby Timmons' first two albums as a leader, This Here Is Bobby Timmons (Riverside RLP1164), and Soul Time (Riverside RLP9334), both recorded in 1960 and appearing here on CD in their entirety. The first album presents Timmons in a trio format with Sam Jones on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums, while the second consists of a quartet set with Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Sam Jones again on bass, and Art Blakey on drums.
Among the many highlights are trio versions of two of the leader's own compositions: 'Moanin'' 'This Here', and 'Dat Dere', as well as amazing readings of standard tunes like 'Lush Life' (on unaccompanied piano), 'You Don't Know What Love Is' and 'My Funny 'Valentine'.
"Amen! If the intent here was to present the many moods of Bobby Timmons, then hats off to Riverside. A powerful sparkplug and heat generator as a comp pianist, Timmons here is revealed as an imaginative, creative soloist. Naturally enough, he handles his three hit tunes with greater freedom and drive." - **** Barbara Gardner, DownBeat
