Year:  1959.

• Wynton Kelly – piano
• Lee Morgan – trumpet
• Wayne Shorter – tenor

Condition: 

DISC:  Vinyl is nice VG++/VG+ with 100% of original gloss.  Has been played sparingly.  There are a couple small hairline scuffs on Side 2 that cause a few minor tics, but no pops, clicks, or major distractions.  Fidelity is excellent.  Labels are clean.      

JACKET:   Jacket is VG+ to VG++ with no major issues.   Front artwork is clean and bright, with some light ring wear and a light scrape on the center.  Top seam has approx 6 inch split at right, and bottom seam has a small split (approx 2”) at center.  There are a few light dots of ring wear just starting to appear on the front of the jacket.  Reverse is clean and white with no writing or stickers; has a faint trace of ring wear.  Overall a fine jacket to accompany the nice sounding disc.

Review: 

“Pianist Wynton Kelly teams up with trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones for a fine, advanced hard bop date. There are four originals (all virtually forgotten decades later) by Kelly, Shorter and Morgan but it is the lone standard, a playful version of "June Night" (which has some puckish Morgan trumpet), that is the standout….”
