The trumpeter, then just 19, teams up with baritonist
Pepper Adams
, pianist
Bobby Timmons
, bassist
Paul Chambers
and drummer
Philly Joe Jones
for a particularly strong set that is highlighted by a lengthy and fiery
"Night in Tunisia,"
"Lover Man" and a rapid rendition of "Just One of Those Things."
Morgan
plays remarkably well for his age (already ranking just below
Dizzy Gillespie
and
Miles Davis
), making this an essential acquisition. ~ Scott Yanow
