Moanin' marked both a homecoming and a fresh start Art Blakey's return to Blue Note after several years of recording for several other labels. The first choice had been to have the LP self-titled, but the instant popularity of pianist Bobby Timmons' 'Moanin', which was the album's first track, led to it's becoming known by that title.
