Tenor Sax Solo on
The Boy Next Door

About

Johnny Griffin's tenor sax solo is the opening of 3 solos on this recording, followed by Wynton Kelly on piano. Spanning one chorus of the 32-bar AB form at a moderate 136 BPM with a swing feel in F, the solo runs approximately 1:01. The track features an unusual three-solo structure: Griffin opens with a chorus on tenor saxophone, followed by a chorus from pianist Wynton Kelly, after which Griffin returns for a final chorus. This is the first of two solos Johnny Griffin takes on this recording. Johnny Griffin was 27 to 28 years old at the time of this 1956 recording.
