Lee Morgan: City Lights

Read "City Lights" reviewed by John Barron


In an era of oversaturation in jazz characterized by an abundance of young performers who seem to favor imitation at the expense of originality, it's invigorating to hear a timeless gem like City Lights.

Read "City Lights" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


È benvenuta la ristampa di uno tra i dischi meno conosciuti di Lee Morgan, per l’occasione spalleggiato da una fantastica front-line: George Coleman al sax tenore e Curtis Fuller al trombone. Con una ritmica tanto vigorosa quanto fluida, che vede impegnati Ray Bryant al pianoforte, Paul Chambers al contrabbasso ed Art Taylor alla batteria. Due sono ...
