"IN 1961 LEE MORGAN AND WAYNE SHORTER FROMED THE FRONTLINE OF ONE OF THE GREATEST VERSIONS OF ART BLAKEY'S JAZZ MESSENGERS. IN 1967 THEY HAD A REUNION FOR "THE PROCRASTINATOR", SHOWING JUST HOW THEY BOTH HAD GROWN THROUGH THE YEARS. MORGAN, WHO HAD A MAJOR HIT WITH "THE SIDEWINDER" A FEW YEARS EARLIER, HAD BROKEN AWAY FROM THE CLIFFORD BROWN TRUMPET TRADITION TO BECOME A BRASH, ADVENTUROUS AND CONSISTENTLY STUNNING SOLOIST WHO PERFECTLY SYMBOLIZED THE ERA."
"MORGAN'S BRAND OF FORWARD-LOOKING HARD BOP WAS INFLUENCED BY FREE JAZZ AND PUT A PREMIUM ON UNINHIBITED SELF-EXPRESSION. SHORTER SOUNDED UNLIKE ANYONE ELSE AND WROTE HIGHLY ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS. PLAYING IN A SEXTET WITH BOBBY HUTCHERSON AND HERBIE HANCOCK, MORGAN AND SHORTER CONTRIBUTED ALL OF THE SONGS WHICH INCLUDE THE FUNKY "PARTY TIME" (WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN A HIT FOR HORACE SILVER) AND OTHER PIECES THAT PUSH HARD BOP TO ITS LIMIT. THE RESULTS ARE EXHILARATING, VITAL AND TIMELESS"
