Morgan, Lee
City Lights (clear)
Originally released on Blue Note in 1957, City Lights is the result of a fine session recorded at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder studio by an all-star sextet featuring the 19 years old trumpet genius Lee Morgan plus an impressive coalition of Jazz stylists such as Curtis Fuller, on trombone, George Coleman on tenor sax, Ray Bryant on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Art Taylor on drums. All great players caught here in top form while dealing with an excellent repertoire including compositions of Jazz greats such as Benny Golson and Gigi Gryce among others.
