Lee Morgan • Dizzy Athmosphere

 

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This somewhat obscure Lee Morgan set (originally cut for Specialty and made available on CD in the OJC series) features the trumpeter with other then-current members of the Dizzy Gillespie big band: trombonist Al Grey, tenor saxophonist Billy Mitchell, baritonist Billy Root, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul West, and drummer Charlie Persip. With arrangements provided by Benny Golson and Roger Spotts, the music is modern bop for the period. Highlights include the ten-and-a-half-minute "Dishwater," "Over the Rainbow," and an early version of Golson's "Whisper Not." Morgan plays extremely well throughout the spirited set, and he was just 18 at the time.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este set algo oscuro de Lee Morgan (originalmente cortado para Specialty y disponible en CD en la serie OJC) presenta al trompetista con otros miembros actuales de la big band de Dizzy Gillespie: el trombonista Al Grey, el saxofonista tenor Billy Mitchell, el baritonista Billy Root, el pianista Wynton Kelly, el bajista Paul West y el baterista Charlie Persip. Con arreglos proporcionados por Benny Golson y Roger Spotts, la música es bop moderna para el período. Los aspectos más destacados incluyen "Dishwater" de diez minutos y medio, "Over the Rainbow" y una versión temprana de "Whisper Not" de Golson."Morgan juega extremadamente bien durante todo el animado set, y tenía solo 18 años en ese momento .
