I think it refers to this particular group of players / personnel. They made three albums as a group / trio. The music is not connected other than that.

I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

While I was on my "Walk About" (Australian phrase), you guys were posting some of the best jazz I've ever heard. I think I commented on some of it. The latest was "Erroll Garner"; I once had a dream where his "Misty" was playing all the way through the dream. Needles to say, it was a beautiful dream; I even hated when I woke up, I tried to go back to sleep and pick up where it left off, but that didn't work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erroll_Garner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxVGzuopnow&list=PLd06FP4HjGQWM3aMic-OdKsMQ5Je5YDYW |
