Six String Jazz - Moanin'.mp3

Every Mornin' finds me moanin'
I'm alone and crying the blues
I'm so tired of paying the dues
Everybody knows I'm moanin'

Every evening I am moanin'
'Cause of all I the trouble I see
Life's a loosing gamble to me
Everybody knows I moanin'

[Chorus]
Lord, I spend many a days and nights alone with my grief
And I pray, really and truly pray
Somebody will come and bring me relief

Every mornin' finds me moanin'
I'm alone and crying the blues
I'm so tired of paying my dues
Everybody knows I'm moanin'

"Moanin" is a minor blues written by Bobby Timmons, the great pianist with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.

The story goes that saxman Benny Golson heard Timmons playing the call & response riff between sets and encouraged him to develop the tune, giving us a grand piece of music. Last week the trio gave it a go.

Recorded on a hand-held Tascam DR-40 in Wayne's living room.

Ian Saylor, piano
Rob Stiteler, drums
Wayne Renardson, bass
