Lee Morgan • Take Twelve

 

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Take Twelve was trumpeter Lee Morgan's only recording during an off-period that lasted from mid-1961 to late 1963. Morgan (who sounds in fine form) leads a quintet with tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, pianist Barry Harris, bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Louis Hayes through four of his originals, Jordan's "Little Spain," and the title cut, an Elmo Hope composition. The superior material uplifts the set from being a mere "blowing" date but it generally has the spontaneity of a jam session. It's one of Lee Morgan's lesser-known dates.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Take Twelve fue la única grabación del trompetista Lee Morgan durante un período de inactividad que duró desde mediados de 1961 hasta finales de 1963. Morgan (que suena en buena forma) dirige un quinteto con el saxofonista tenor Clifford Jordan, el pianista Barry Harris, el bajista Bob Cranshaw y el baterista Louis Hayes a través de cuatro de sus originales, "Little Spain" de Jordan, y el corte del título, una composición de Elmo Hope. El material superior eleva el conjunto de ser una mera fecha de "soplado", pero en general tiene la espontaneidad de una jam session. Es una de las citas menos conocidas de Lee Morgan.
