James Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Upon going to the QuickSilver Record website following the discussion on the recording "Continuum: Mad About Tadd" I made a discovery which has made my day. (And probably *week* for that matter!) An old favorite Palo Alto recording of Lanny Morgan's (alto sax) is available through the Quicksilver site -------- Lanny's "It's About Time" features Bruce Foreman, Lou Levy, Monty Budwig and Nick Ceroli. I ordered it immediately, along with the back-ordered Continuum disc. This is a really solid outing from a largely underappreciated player -- I recall the unison blowing on Ko-Ko with Lanny and Bruce was nothing short of amazing. Lanny mailed me a cassette copy after I talked to him in L.A. during a Bill Holman rehearsal -------- such a gracious guy. I'll have to post more about this recording when I listen to it once again, but until then I'm curious if anyone else remembers this one.

relyles Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I just happen to have listened to this recording on LP last week. I bought it about a year ago for less than $5.00 used and finally got around to it. Solid bop playing. I think my favorite track is probably the sole track with Don Rader on trumpet.

JSngry Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I really dug Lanny's work w/Maynard, especially the sextet album on Mainstream. A very unique tone back then, something I always appreciate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tapscott Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 A fine recent Lanny Morgan recording is "Pacific Standard Yime" on Milestone (from around '96 or '97). Lanny is a 'bopper supreme and I mean that very positively! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 (edited) Pacific Standard Time is a fine recording --- don't own it. If memory serves I preferred his V.S.O.P. outing with Tom Ranier, Bob Maize and Frankie Capp titled "Lanny Morgan Quartet." This one I do have. Incredible version of Subconscious Lee, and *very* strong outing overall. After I get "It's About Time" I'll probably end up searching for P.S.T. to round out the collection. Editing to correct info. here --- the actual name of Lanny's recording is "Pacific Standard." Edited October 16, 2003 by James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
