Review
by Steve Loewy
Recorded early in the trumpeter's career, this fine release originally issued by Vee-Jay Records has been given new life over the years through at least a couple of reissues. This one includes four previously released alternate takes from the seven tracks, each of which features a strong hard bop quintet, with Art Blakey on drums, Eddie Higgins on piano, Art Davis on bass, and Clifford Jordan on tenor saxophone. The set is a tad more laid-back than the later classic Blue Note sessions. Nonetheless, this one offers its rewards, including a rare chance to hear Eddie Higgins in full force, a late of Blakey as a sideman, and a stunning front line with unsung giant Clifford Jordan. Morgan is in good form, swinging and blowing passionately, and his interpretations of "Easy Living" and "Just in Time" are among his best. This release retains the original liner notes by Nat Hentoff, as well as the attractive artwork of the initial issue.

Reseña
por Steve Loewy
Grabado al principio de la carrera del trompetista, este buen lanzamiento publicado originalmente por Vee-Jay Records ha recibido nueva vida a lo largo de los años a través de al menos un par de reediciones. Ésta incluye cuatro tomas alternativas de las siete pistas, cada una de las cuales presenta un sólido quinteto de hard bop, con Art Blakey a la batería, Eddie Higgins al piano, Art Davis al bajo y Clifford Jordan al saxo tenor. El conjunto es un poco más relajado que las posteriores sesiones clásicas de Blue Note. Sin embargo, ofrece sus recompensas, incluyendo una rara oportunidad de escuchar a Eddie Higgins en plena forma, un tardío Blakey como sideman, y una impresionante primera línea con el gigante desconocido Clifford Jordan. Morgan está en buena forma, haciendo swing y soplando apasionadamente, y sus interpretaciones de "Easy Living" y "Just in Time" están entre las mejores. Esta edición conserva las notas originales de Nat Hentoff, así como las atractivas ilustraciones de la edición inicial.
