Description
This is a "West 63rd, New York" label copy of the 1957 Lee Morgan Lp "Volume 3", Blue Note BLP 1557. The record is in near mint and the cover, although clean, has a taped 4cm split in the top seam, a taped 3cm split in the spine and a small amount of tape reinforcement on all 4 corners. Despite the flaws, the cover is clean and looks very nice. RVG and the ear are in both trailoffs.
Review by Scott Yanow for allmusic.com.
Although trumpeter Lee Morgan (then only 18) was the nominal leader of this set, tenor saxophonist Benny Golson contributed all five of the compositions and the arrangements for the sextet (which also includes altoist Gigi Gryce, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Charlie Persip). Most notable among the songs is the original version of "I Remember Clifford"; Morgan was the perfect trumpeter to play the tribute to Clifford Brown, who had died in a car crash a year earlier. A fine hard bop date.
