Bobby Timmons
Piano Solo on
Moanin'

About

Bobby Timmons's piano solo is the third of 4 solos on this recording, following Benny Golson's tenor sax and before Jymie Merritt's closing acoustic bass statement. Spanning two choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at a moderate 129 BPM with a swing feel in F, the solo runs approximately 1:59. 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. Bobby Timmons was 22 to 23 years old at the time of this 1958 recording.
