Lee Morgan - Here's Lee Morgan

EU Import

Personnel:
Lee Morgan (trumpet), Clifford Jordan (teor sax), Wynton Kelly (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Art Blakey (drums).
Recorded at Bell Sound Studios, New York City, February 2, 3 & 8, 1960

"This CD reissue has its original six songs expanded to 11 with the inclusion of five alternate takes. The music is good solid hard bop that finds Lee Morgan (already a veteran at age 21) coming out of the Clifford Brown tradition to display his own rapidly developing style. Matched with Clifford Jordan on tenor, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Art Blakey, Morgan's album could pass for a Jazz Messengers set."
