Lee Morgans first meeting on record with Clifford Jordan wasin June 1957, when Morgan was about to turn nineteen and Jordan had just begunmaking a name for himself. After their first collaboration, the precociousMorgan occasionally called Jordan to play tenor on his recordings; thus theyrecorded together twice in 1960 and once in January 1962.

Although they went their separate ways, they were reunitedin July 1968 as part of the quintet presented here for a gig organized byBaltimores Left Bank Jazz Society. The program consisted of long,straightforward performances of well-known jazz tunes like Straight No Chaser,Solar, The Vamp, and the popular standard Like Someone In Love. Although theywere not a regular group, and despite limited rehearsal time, they delivered astimulating and engaging concert, with both frontliners soloing consistentlywell.

The ensemble playing is also strong, backed by animpressively tight rhythm section in which John Hicks, piano, Reggie Workman,bass, and Ed Blackwell, drums, completed what could well be considered a dreamline-up! The buoyancy, virtuosity and imagination of these outstanding jazzmenare reflected all the way through this fine jazz session.
