Good heavens, it is quite hard for me to get my head around the fact that this trumpet Legend in the making is just 18 years old here...and the best was yet to come!!! Thank you so much for this inspiring set!!!

Excellent job of documentation! Thank you for being a Musicologist and for posting all of this important info. I have been a Lee Morgan fan since 1972 and had never heard this early gem. I suspect the album was not originally marketed with Morgan as bandleader, but later when he was an established Jazz superstar. There has never been another trumpeter with "All That"!

Henri de Lagardère The notes you don’t hear are always the most important ones, Henri. Just read my comment, please regarding a tribute for Wynton Kelly. Cheers!

Great combination of top notch Jazz Artists. With the marvellous Wynton Kelly on piano. Just for the info the following folks: on June 16/17 there will be a Wynton Kelly tribute played, at a well know jazz-club in Prague. It will be performed by the Najponk trio (their clips are here on YT), so check it out if anyone is interested. Wynton’s daughter will be there also. I’ve booked my table so we might see you...., but in the meantime Dig this great Gem & Cheers!

Great power and inspiration in this band. Nice to hear the short-living Billy Root on bari. Like Serge Chaloff and Sam Staff he passed much to early.

Billy Root died at age 88
