Peter Friedman

When I first began to listen to and enjoy jazz I had no understanding of any of the technical issues, but it was the feeling I got from the music that grabbed me. Over many years of listening I gradually gained knowledge of harmony, rhythm, tone, phrasing, chord changes, choruses, etc. I also learned to understand how to identify the underlying tunes when jazz musicians played originals based on those changes. So it all comes down to countless hours of listening experience that has enhanced my appreciation of jazz.

A truly Terrific session. Lee Morgan plays beautifully, and Hank Mobley is in tip top form. Hank solos with both passion and intensity. And to make it even better there are two tunes never previously recorded - "Quick Trick" and "Jimerick". It's a shame it has been hidden in the vaults for so many years. This is , for me, a 5 star album.

Ross Tompkins, Herb Ellis, John Heard, Jake Hanna A good one!

Hans Koller - Minor Meeting 1958
