Lee Morgan’s
first meeting on record with Clifford Jordan was in June 1957, when
Morgan was about to turn nineteen and Jordan had just begun making a
name for himself. After their first collaboration, the precocious Morgan
occasionally called Jordan to play tenor on his recordings; thus they
recorded together twice in 1960 and once in January 1962.
Although they went their separate ways, they were reunited in July 1968
as part of the quintet presented here for a gig organized by Baltimore’s
Left Bank Jazz Society. The program consisted of long, straightforward
performances of well-known jazz tunes like Straight No Chaser, Solar,
The Vamp, and the popular standard Like Someone In Love. Although they
were not a regular group, and despite limited rehearsal time, they
delivered a stimulating and engaging concert, with both frontliners
soloing consistently well.
The ensemble playing is also strong, backed by an impressively tight
rhythm section in which John Hicks, piano, Reggie Workman, bass, and Ed
Blackwell, drums, completed what could well be considered a dream
line-up! The buoyancy, virtuosity and imagination of these outstanding
jazzmen are reflected all the way through this fine jazz session.
