Remastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman from the Original Rudy Van Gelder Blue Note Master Tapes

The Definitive 45RPM Blue Note Reissue Series!

Signed to the label when he was only eighteen years old, this jazz prodigy, who cut his teeth as a Jazz Messengers with the great Art Blakey, proceeded to record a stream of impressive records as a leader for Blue Note. At the ripe old age of nineteen, Lee Morgan helmed the City Lights sessions in August of 1957 at Rudy Van Gelder’s Hackensack site, leading an all-star sextet through arrangements provided by the likes of Benny Golson and Gigi Gryce. Joining Morgan here is Curtis Fuller on trombone, George Coleman on both alto and tenor, Ray Bryant on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Art Taylor on drums.
