AT ONLY 19 YEARS OF AGE, LEE MORGAN IS ALREADY THE FINISHED ARTICLE,  HIS
FINELY  CRAFTED   SOLOS   SHOWING  WHAT  A  TALENT  HE  WAS  AND   GIVING   MORE
THAN  A  GLIMPSE  OF  WHAT  HE  WOULD  ACHIEVE  IN  THE  COMING  DECADE  ...  THE
REMAINING   MUSICIANS   ARE   BEST   AS   THE   TIGHTLY   FOCUSED    UNIT   BROUGHT
TOGETHER   AROUND  BENNY  GOLSON’S   CHARTS  AND  THERE  IS  A  REAL  VIBRANCE
AS  THEY  BLOW  LONG  ACCOMPANYING  CROSS  THEMES  TO  LEE  MORGAN’S   SOLOS
ON  “JUST  BY  MYSELF”,  “KIN  FOLKS”  OR  “YOU’RE  MINE  YOU”.    THE  FULLNESS  OF
SOUND   ACHIEVED  BY  THE  PRESENCE  OF  CURTIS   FULLER  ON  TROMBONE  WAS  TO
BE  ACHIEVED AGAIN  JUST  A  FEW  YEARS  LATER  IN THE  1963/1964  EMBODIMENT  OF
“THE JAZZ MESSENGERS”  THAT  INCLUDED  LEE MORGAN  AND  CURTIS  FULLER  ON  A
SERIES  OF  FINE  ALBUMS    . . .    “CITY LIGHTS”  IS NOT JUST A CLEAR FORERUNNER OF
THAT  GREAT  MUSIC ; IT  IS  WELL  WORTH  ATTENTION  IN  ITS  OWN  RIGHT  ––––  THIS
MASTERPIECE IN LEE MORGAN’S RECORDING CAREER IS HERE OFFERED IN BRILLIANT
CONDITION  WITH  UNMARKED  COVER  JUST  SHOWING  A  MILD  WRINKLE  TO LOWER
RIGHT SIDE. THE DEEP GROOVE  VINYL  RECORD  HAS  47 WEST 63RD NYC  ADDRESS  ON
BOTH SIDES,  “PLASTYLITE” (EAR) SYMBOL  AND  “RVG”  IN  THE  RUNOUT.   SIDE TWO IS
VISUALLY  GRADED  VG++ DUE TO A COUPLE OF SHORT AND SUPERFICIAL MARKS THAT
DO   NOT  AFFECT  AT  ALL   THE   STRONG   NEAR   MINT   PLAYBACK   EXPERIENCE.
