Bobby Timmons, an American jazz pianist and composer, gained fame as a sideman with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and Cannonball Adderley’s band, contributing hits like “Moanin’,” “Dat Dere,” and “This Here.” His debut album as a leader, This Here Is Bobby Timmons, recorded in 1960 for Riverside and reissued on SACD, showcases his influential “funky” style. The trio, featuring bassist Sam Jones and drummer Jimmy Cobb, performs Timmons’ three signature compositions, his original “Joy Ride,” and five standards, including a notable solo take on “Lush Life.” At this early peak, Timmons displays creativity far beyond the soul-jazz label he was later stereotyped with. The album blends hard bop with soulful grooves, highlighting his compositional and pianistic skill. The SACD reissue enhances the recording’s clarity, capturing the trio’s tight interplay. This set is essential for jazz fans, reflecting Timmons’ significant impact in 1960. It remains a cornerstone of his legacy, showcasing his versatility and innovative spirit.
