JSngry Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Talk about leaving a void...scantily recorded, but such a personal voice. RIP and thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 How I wish he'd recorded more - there's just the four Larry Young BN dates - or that's all I'm aware of. RIP -- I'll be spinning the Larry Young Mosaic this week ("Mother Ship" probably being one of my top 10 BN dates). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 How I wish he'd recorded more - there's just the four Larry Young BN dates - or that's all I'm aware of. He's on a Dave Burns Vanguard side as "Herbie" Morgan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold_Z Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 The Dave Burns Sides were Herbie's first recordings and Herbie told me they were also Kenny Barron's first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I remember his playing on Larry Young's 'Mother Ship' drew some criticisms. Could not agree with this since I found his voice quite an original one! Sad to hear he went away almost unnoticed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Sad news. I like the playing on 'Mother Ship' - and the Dave Burns LP - too. Edited July 23, 2013 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could not agree with this since I found his voice quite an original one! Sad to hear he went away almost unnoticed... When did it draw some criticisms? By whom? Did Herbert Morgan withdraw from the mainstream? Local legend perhaps? Educator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Yes, one, like Booker Ervin and John Manning, whom you can't help listening to when you hear him. RIP. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Chewy - if you haven't heard it, John Manning is also on 'Sparks', by Melvin Sparks. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I've often wondered what he was up to when listening to Mother Ship, and I'd still love to know more about his recent activities. It's a shame that he didn't record more. RIP to a fine saxophonist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
