Who's the producer on this? My dear friend. the late Ozzie Cadena did some of Hank's sessions. Interesting to have two trumpets or does one of them lay out here?
I remember hanging out at Dayton records on 8th St in the village (and later happy tunes) in the late 60's early 70's and the old be boppers in their Kangol hats would be spinning the new and recent blue notes where I first heard this one and many others. Musicians and jazz lovers of all stripes would always be hanging out. What an education. A real community. "No room for squares" there lol. Cause if you hung out you had to be hip
Hank is cool, smooth and saxophonically organic in his tonal control and presentation.
His tenor saxophone seems to be a Selmer crafted woodwind instrument.
Lee Morgan sings sweetly a la Booker Little. They are both meritorious of the Peoples' Highest Award for clarity, control, purity of phrasing and structure, improvisational coherence as well as for ad lib relevancy.
That they liveth in at least sweet spiritual sound-voice is without any doubt.
They have been summoned in the very spring of their youth to orchestrate for
Almighty God and His heavenly hosts.
Booker Little was 23-years of age; Lee Morgan, 34 - there about.
"(They) whom the gods love die young", so says a wise psychologist and philosopher.
