jlhoots Posted July 25, 2004 Report Posted July 25, 2004 On Aug. 3 there will be a new Frank Morgan CD on High Note. George Cables, Curtis Lundy & Billy Hart are the supporting trio. I'm hopeful this will be good. I saw him recently playing duets with Cyrus Chesnut. Frank played very well. Quote
Big Wheel Posted July 25, 2004 Report Posted July 25, 2004 Is this a live or studio album? I saw this group back in November at the Jazz Standard. Nothing groundbreaking but very enjoyable nontheless. Quote
Dan Gould Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 UP, cause this CD is flat out terrific! Morgan may come straight out of Bird, but I just love his tone, so expressive, soulful and personal. Great tunes on this, too: two Monks, two Coltranes, and an excellent cover of "All Blues". I'd heard when Morgan had a stroke a couple or so ago, but I was surprised to learn in the liners that he actually was gigging again about six months after. Clearly, his playing has not suffered the way OP's playing did after his stroke, and I really can't recommend this set enough, to Morgan fans, or anyone wanting to check him out. Quote
sal Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Thanks Dan. I've heard nothing but glowing reviews about this one, and hope to pick it up soon. Quote
desertblues Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Thanks Dan. I've heard nothing but glowing reviews about this one, and hope to pick it up soon. Same here, Thanks for the heads up! B-) Quote
jlhoots Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Posted November 3, 2004 Frank's going to be playing at The Outpost in Albuquerque next week in a group with George Cables, Cecil McBee & Leroy Williams. Looking forward to it. Quote
DrJ Posted November 4, 2004 Report Posted November 4, 2004 I saw this at my local Borders (which otherwise has a pretty sucky jazz section) and was interested if for no other reason than it's a chance to hear Cables with other world class musicians. It looked promising, and now it seems I have more reason to grab it! Thanks for the heads up. Quote
Dan Gould Posted November 4, 2004 Report Posted November 4, 2004 Tony, Cables sounds fine, and that's coming from someone who isn't a fan. So now you really have no excuse! Quote
Brad Posted November 4, 2004 Report Posted November 4, 2004 Thank you for the heads up. I'll be on my way over to Borders later to pick this up. Quote
Brad Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 I got this and it's very good. I'm into my second listen. His rendition of Equinox is outstanding, almost Trane like without being slavish. Cherokee is my favorite of the bunch. George Cables: some very good solos here. Quote
