Pianist
Bobby Timmons, best known for his sanctified and funky playing and composing, is mostly heard in a straightahead vein on this CD reissue of a Riverside session.
Timmons's four originals ("So Tired" is most memorable) alternate with three standards and are interpreted by a quartet with trumpeter
Blue Mitchell, bassist
Sam Jones and drummer
Art Blakey. The swinging music is well-played, making this a good example of
Bobby Timmons playing in a boppish (as opposed to funky) setting. ~ Scott Yanow
