Lee Morgan – Volume 2: Sextet – Blue Note 1542
by Marc Davis
No one ever bought a record for its weird song titles. (And if they did, Iron Butterfly's psychedelic rock classic In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida would be the best seller of all time.) But still, Lee Morgan Volume 2: Sextet deserves some kind of award in that category. First, there are two songs written by virtual unknown Owen ...

by Dan Bilawsky
How do you rate a jazz album? Is it about strength and depth of improvisation--"the sound of surprise," as the late, great journalist Whitney Balliet might say? Is it about structural intricacy, harmonic integrity, rhythmic feel, and melodic communication? Or is it musical ingenuity and individual personalities at play that help to make or break a ...

Hank Mobley and his All Stars – Blue Note 1544
by Marc Davis
I think I've hit a wall. I love hard bop. I love Blue Note. But all of a sudden, the thrill is gone. This week, I'm listening to Hank Mobley and his All Stars, a 1957 album that could never be accused of false advertising. This truly is an all-star hard bop ...
Lee Morgan Indeed! – Blue Note 1538
by Marc Davis
The first time Lee Morgan entered a recording studio, he was just 18 years old and he was leading his own band.
