Description

Out of my extensive personal collection: LEE MORGAN 1957 BLUE NOTE 1541 w/ Mobley RVG EAR LEX DG

This is a excellent preserved record with great mono sound.

Trumpeter Lee Morgan is beautifully recorded on this ultra-rare Blue Note original release. The supporting cast is Hank Mobley, tenor sax; Kenny Rodgers, alto sax; Paul Chambers, bass; Charlie Persip, drums; and Horace Silver, piano.

This monophonic recording was issued on Blue Note BLP 1541 in 1957. This is a DEEP GROOVE pressing with a hand-scribed RVG and EAR in the deadwax area on both sides.

The tunes, all composed and arranged by Benny Golson and Owen Marshall, include:

Side A 1. “Whisper Not,” Golson. 2. “Latin Hangover,” Golson. 3. “His Sister,” Marshall.

Side B 1. “Slightly Hep,” Golson. 2. “Where Am I,” Golson. 3. “D’s Fink,” Marshall.

Morgan has gorgeous solos throughout. Hank Mobley always plays interesting jazz. Kenny Rodgers was ALL OVER his horn on “D’s Fink.” Paul Chambers plays on the bottom of his instrument and soloed nicely. Charlie Persip gave a good account of himself. Silver’s choruses on “Slightly Hep” and the last tune were especially sharp.

I play-graded this album M-. No marks, no scratches ,plays really fantastic. Impossible to get a better copy!

Morgan’s explosive trumpet and musical ideas come through loud and clear; and the other musicians in the group are well-presented too.

The cover grades VG+. Morgan’s photograph on the front is still arresting, but there are a few white speckles in the black background . A slight crease in the lower left corner and . The spine and bottom edge show some wear. All four corners have small dings. The back cover, which has a white background, is unmarred, but the record outline shows faintly in the top and bottom inch. (Lexington adress on backside cover too)
