Art Blakey: Along Came Betty

Golson’s composition with its simple yet haunting line swings right out of the box. This quintessential Blakey lineup finesses the head and all its subtleties, setting up Morgan’s entrance and understated trumpet solo. The composer’s tenor follows, addressing the changes with more fire than his predecessor, while the rhythm section is rock solid underneath. Timmons seems a little sedate as his solo leads us back to a final statement of the theme.
