Yes, I really warmed to it today.  Previously I'd found it a bit studied/academic but not today

Lee Morgan, The Complete Live at the Lighthouse (disc 1) (Blue Note)

[duaneiac]

Mr. Brown graciously autographed the booklet for this CD when I saw him at Yoshi's one night.  In addition to his musical talents, he also deserved high marks for penmanship!

Great cover art by Saul Bass I think

This really is shaping up to be a special release on initial play through the 4 discs

Yes sir!

 

Next up:

Duke's duet with bassist John Lamb at the beginning of "Ad Lib on Nippon" is so loose, airy, and abstract that it's like an improvised composition within the larger composition.  It feels like these sorts of moments from Duke are sideways glances through partially opened doors, like he's anticipating what would be happening in the avant garde -- and jazz in general -- in the coming years.

Now:

 In one way or another I've been listening to a lot of Dameron lately. Five of the eight tracks on this CD are Dameron compositions.
