Description
This is the original Blue Note LP 4054 from 1960. The LP and the jacket are in superior condition. I'm a radio jazz program host and maintain boadcast quality on all my LPs. The label is stamped with "Review Copy" on side 1.
“Birdland (aka ‘the jazz corner of the world’) produced some of Art Blakey's (drums) most revered live recordings. …Blakey's latest quintet, which includes the respective talents of Lee Morgan (trumpet), Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Bobby Timmons (piano), and Jymie Merritt (bass) -- all of whom are solidly grounded to Blakey's firm yet profound backbeat.
The lyrical performance style that began to emerge from Shorter in the early to mid-'60s can be heard developing during his tenure as a Jazz Messenger. He contrasts Morgan's limber and lilting solos and improvisations, which are especially notable on ‘Round About Midnight’ and the spirited ‘The Breeze and I.’ The latter title also allows Timmons the opportunity to stretch out and motivate the melody….(Shorter)is quickly developing into the undaunted instrumentalist who would revolutionize modern jazz with Miles Davis in the mid-'60s. ……a welcome addition to the library of most any jazz lover.” Lindsay Planer-All Music Guide
