Acoustic Bass Solo on
Out Of The Night

About

Butch Warren's acoustic bass solo is the closing of 4 solos on this recording, following McCoy Tyner's piano. Spanning two choruses of the 12-bar Blues form at a moderate 122 BPM with a swing feel in F, the solo runs approximately 47 seconds. The track showcases the extraordinary rhythm section that Blue Note assembled for Henderson's debut, with Tyner, Warren, and drummer Pete LaRoca providing a foundation of rhythmic authority and harmonic sensitivity that elevated every performance on the session. Butch Warren was 23 to 24 years old at the time of this 1963 recording.
