Review by Scott Yanow
Trumpeter Lee Morgan's second recording as a leader (which has been reissued in his four-CD "complete on Blue Note" Mosaic box set) is as notable for the writing of Benny Golson(who composed and arranged four of the six selections) as for the solos of the leader. The set is highlighted by the debut version of "Whisper Not." Actually Morgan, tenor-saxophonistHank Mobley, pianist Horace Silver, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Charlie Persip and the obscure altoist Kenny Rodgers all play quite well. Morgan was just 18 and starting to come out of the shadow of his early influence Clifford Brown. An above-average hard bop set.
