Benny Golson
Tenor Sax Solo on
Moanin'

About

Benny Golson's tenor sax solo is the second of 4 solos on this recording, following Lee Morgan's trumpet and followed by Bobby Timmons on piano. Spanning two choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at a moderate 126 BPM with a swing feel in F, the solo runs approximately 2:01. Tenor saxophonist Benny Golson follows with two commanding choruses, and Timmons himself delivers two choruses of piano that are steeped in the same gospel feeling as his composition. Benny Golson was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1958 recording.
