Title: Moanin'
Artists: Griff & Rick
Album: Moanin'

Hi Folks:

"Moanin'" is a composition by pianist, Robert Henry Timmons (aka Bobby Timmons), first recorded by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers on the (1959) album of the same title. 

Bobby Timmons came out of Philadelphia at age 19, with a funky Gospel-tinged piano style, combined with hard Bebop and Blues to create a sound which dominated much of Jazz during the late 1950s and early 1960s. He would, in a recording career that would only span a short time frame, contribute to some of the best recordings on the legendary Blue Note sessions of the ’50’s.

Sadly, Timmons died at the very tender age of 38 in New York City on March 1, 1974.

So, here is our humble homage to this venerable Jazz standard.

Keyboards: Griff
Bass/Guitar: Rick Hall
Drums: EZDrummer 2

Thanks for lending your ears...

Griff

Lyrics written by, Jon Hendricks (Performed by, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross

Wow, Griff. I'm glad you released a new song!

Now I will add this to my ever-growing collection, and rate this song 5 stars.

I'm pretty sure that you're getting better with these productions. I hope your kids really enjoyed my series.

Happy Memorial Day!

Howdy Griff

Nice piano playin', my friend.  Ham-fisted?  I think not!  SOunds like good old fashioned jazz to me and I like it.  A LOT .Dem chords are mighty fine.  You and Rick make a great duo.  Damn he can play that guitar like a crazy  man!

This is what I most like to hear from you, my friend.  I think this is the stuff that suits you  and fits like a glove!

your envious friend and fellow jazz lover

Great Jazz, bravo Griff, mi è piaciuto molto

Hi Griff,

This is way cool. I love the fact that these "standards" maintain their relevance today. You and Rick certainly nailed it, some wicked guitar riffs and of course the way you carress those keys leaves nothing to be desired.

Super Super job!

Cheers,

Stu

Hi! Griff. Wollte doch noch das Video dazu anschauen. Läuft nicht in unserem Land. Schade. War mir trotzdem eine Freude hier rein zu hören. So ist's gut.

Hi my friend:

Bebop style with lot's of virtuosity from both of you.

Let me say that if now you play like this, i can't even imagine in your Pro days... 

As you know, i've learned to like this style of music, and right now, i could stay a all night long hear you and your mates playing.

The guitar (Metheny style?) is absolutelly amazing, and the bass line just perfect (with that walking bass technique that i've to learn  ).

This is really a professional work, that i wouldn't mind at all to buy in any record store!

My trully respect to both of you!

All the best my friend,

Emanuel

not a great connoisseur of jazz, I confined myself to listen with great attention, and I assure you that your work.
in my own little with I can only congratulate you for the accuracy of the inputs and outputs of individual securities.
the rhythm hit me, but the viriazioni melodies associated with the various tools seems to me to another planet.
there is no doubt that you are a great musician
dear friend you are great

I know nothing about music. Only listened .. Using technology also makes possible for me to be able to make music.

  I am also into photography amateur.

I'm not here for stars score but coment with advice for improvement of my music.


at my coment on music of others, I remain honest. this must be mutual .

I give my voice just as public and not as someone who knows something from music.

 I'm open to all criticism. I want to learn something

Yeah,

it doesn't need a whole orchestra to be enchanted, it just needs two absolutely fantastic musicians like Griff and Rick. What a nice tune!

I love listening to your original jazz play - wonderful!
