Bobby Timmons
Piano Solo on
"HUH!"

About

Bobby Timmons's one-chorus piano solo is the fourth of five solos on this Morgan original. Over the 32-bar AABA form at 120 BPM in C minor, Timmons's percussive, blues-inflected style brings rhythmic vitality to the performance. His soulful approach offers an interesting contrast to the horn solos that precede him, and his playing within the minor-key framework hints at the gospel-tinged hard bop sensibility that would later make him famous as the composer of "Moanin'" and "This Here."

Bobby Timmons was 19 to 20 years old at the time.
