Description
1969 Blue Note "a Division of Liberty Records" on Label 1st Edition Gatefold Stereo Release of Bandleader/Composer/Master Trumpeter Lee Morgan Entitled Charisma, Produced by Francis Wolff, Recording by Rudy Van Gelder, Liner Notes by Herb Wong - "This set (reissued on CD in 1997) was one of trumpeter Lee Morgan's lesser-known Blue Note recordings but it is quite rewarding. The notable sextet (which also includes altoist Jackie McLean, Hank Mobley on tenor, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Billy Higgins) performs originals by Morgan, Walton and Duke Pearson, including particularly catchy versions of the funky "Hey Chico" and Pearson's memorable "Sweet Honey Bee" (which should have become a hit). The three horns, all of whom sound quite individual, each have their exciting moments, and the results are quintessential mid-'60s hard bop." - Spectacular Personnel for the Sextet Features Legendary Composer Lee Morgan on Trumpet, the Great Jackie McLean on Alto Sax, the Brilliant Hank Mobley on Tenor Sax, the Talented Cedar Walton on Piano, the Amazing Paul Chambers on Bass and Billy Higgins on Drums! - Selections on Side One Are Original Lee Morgan Compositions Hey Chico at 7 Minutes Even, Somethin' Cute & the Cedar Walton Song Rainy Night - Tracks for Side Two Consist of the Duke Pearson Penned Sweet Honey Bee and Original Lee Morgan Compositions the Murphy Man at 7 Minutes 35 Seconds, the Double Up - Used Copy, Cover Very Good++, Record has some Light Marks & Scuffs - Gatefold Sleeve, Stereo Recording, Product Code BST 84312 - California Residents Add 9.75% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
