Personnel:

Lee Morgan (tp), Wayne Shorter (ts), Bobby Timmons, WalterDavis Jr (p), Jymie Merritt (b), Art Blakey (d)

An all-around master of his instrument modeled afterClifford Brown, Morgan boasted an effortless, virtuosic technique and a full,supple, muscular tone that was just as powerful in the high register. Hisplaying was always emotionally charged, regardless of the specific mood: cockyand exuberant on up-tempo groovers, blistering on bop-oriented technicalshowcases, sweet and sensitive on ballads. In his early days as a teen prodigy,Morgan was a busy soloist with a taste for long, graceful lines, and honed hispersonal style while serving an apprenticeship in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.Most of the music heard on this CD is not commonly found on live recordingsfrom this era by Lee Morgan with Art Blakey.
