Review by Thom Jurek
Lee Morgan once again became part of the Jazz Messengers after replacing Freddie Hubbard, who left after replacing Morgan originally. The band is rounded out by pianist Cedar Walton, a steaming Wayne Shorter on tenor, Curtis Fuller on trombone, and bassist Reggie Workman with Art Blakey on the skins, of course. Indestructible is a hard-blowing blues 'n' bop date with Shorter taking his own solos to the outside a bit, and with Blakey allowing some of Fuller's longer, suite-like modal compositional work into the mix as well ("The Egyptian" and "Sortie"). There are plenty of hard swinging grooves-- an off-Latin funk à la Morgan's "Calling Miss Kadija," Shorter's killer "Mr. Jin," and Walton's ballad-cum-post-bop sprint "When Love Is New" -- and the Blakey drive is in full effect, making this album comes closest in feel to the Moanin' sessions with Bobby Timmons. Here the balance of soul groove and innovative tough bop are about equal. Morgan lends great intensity to this date by being such a perfect foil for Shorter, and their trading of fours and eights in "Sortie" is one of the disc's many high points. Morgan's bluesed-out modal frame is already in evidence here as he was beginning to stretch beyond the parameters of the 12-bar frame and into music from other spaces and times.

Reseña de Thom Jurek
Lee Morgan vuelve a formar parte de los Jazz Messengers tras sustituir a Freddie Hubbard, que se marchó después de sustituir a Morgan originalmente. La banda se completa con el pianista Cedar Walton, un humeante Wayne Shorter al tenor, Curtis Fuller al trombón, y el bajista Reggie Workman con Art Blakey en las pieles, por supuesto. Indestructible es una cita de blues 'n' bop contundente con Shorter llevando sus propios solos un poco al exterior, y con Blakey permitiendo que algunos de los trabajos compositivos modales más largos, tipo suite, de Fuller entren también en la mezcla ("The Egyptian" y "Sortie"). Hay un montón de grooves de swing duro - un funk off-Latin à la Morgan's "Calling Miss Kadija", Shorter's killer "Mr. Jin", y Walton's ballad-cum-post-bop sprint "When Love Is New" - y el impulso de Blakey está en pleno efecto, haciendo que este álbum se acerque más en sensación a las sesiones Moanin' con Bobby Timmons. Aquí el equilibrio entre el groove soul y el bop duro e innovador es prácticamente igual. Morgan aporta una gran intensidad a esta cita al ser un complemento perfecto para Shorter, y su intercambio de cuatros y ochos en "Sortie" es uno de los muchos puntos álgidos del disco. El marco modal bluesado de Morgan ya es evidente aquí, cuando empezaba a ir más allá de los parámetros del marco de 12 compases y a adentrarse en la música de otros espacios y otros tiempos.
