• Bobby Timmons’ first two albums as a leader : ‘This Here Is Bobby Timmons’ and ‘Soul Time’ - both originally recorded for Riverside in 1960, and both appearing here in their entirety. The first 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.

• Pianist Bobby” Timmons played bop with Kenny Dorham’s Jazz Prophets, Chet Baker, Sonny Stitt, and Maynard Ferguson - and was a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (1958-59), where he became well known for his composition “Moanin’”. He was then in Cannonball Adderley’s band - but in the 1960s his career declined rapidly due to alcoholism, and he died from cirrhosis in New York, on March 1, 1974

• Total Time: 79:17 - 16 tracks - Includes 16-page booklet.

• “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.” - Down Beat (Barbara Gardner) - original review of ‘This Here Is Bobby Timmons’.

Reviews

Record Collector - Charles Waring

Timmons made his name playing Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in the late 50s. ****

Jazz Journal - Mark Gardner

His playing here is imaginative, exuberant and merits revisiting for lovers of honest, exciting jazz without any pretensions.
