Robert Henry "Bobby" Timmons (Born: December 19, 1935 in Philadelphia - Died: March 1, 1974 in New York City) was an American jazz pianist and composer. He is best known for his role as sideman in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (1958 - 1961) and the composition of "Moanin'", "Dat Dere", and "This Here", each of which are typical of his distinctive gospel soul-jazz style. He also played with Kenny Dorham, Chet Baker, Hank Mobley, Sonny Stitt, Maynard Ferguson, and Cannonball Adderley. Timmons died due to cirrhosis of the liver at the age of 38 on March 1, 1974 after a steady decline in his career.
Allmusic
Pianist Bobby Timmons, best known for his sanctified and funky playing and composing, is mostly heard in a straight-ahead 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.
Personnel:
Bobby Timmons (piano);
Blue Mitchell (trumpet);
Sam Jones (bass);
Art Blakey (drums)
Recorded in August 1960.
