About

Barry Harris's piano solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Lee Morgan's trumpet. Spanning two choruses of the 12-bar Blues form at an up-tempo 216 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 1:21. Pianist Barry Harris closes the solo section with two choruses of elegant bebop piano that reflect his deep roots in the Detroit hard bop tradition. "Boy, What a Night" is a swinging blues original by Lee Morgan from his 1963 Blue Note album The Sidewinder. Barry Harris was 33 to 34 years old at the time of this 1963 recording.
