The Sidewinder is a 1964 album by the jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan. The title track The Sidewinder, was one of the defining recordings of the soul-jazz genre, becoming a jazz standard. The tune is written in, straight 8’s feel. This feel started to get increasingly more in use from the ’60s on. One of the greatest hits from that period in that style is Watermelon Man by jazz pianist Herbie Hancock.
