THE DICK MORRISSEY QUARTET
IT'S MORRISSEY MAN
original Fontana TFL 5149 mono
a very scarce Album
SLEEVE :: EX - some slight creasing,
laminated sleeve, excellent spine.
RECORD :: EX based on the opinion of a friend,
a professional reviewer, who thought the sound
superb. Two light clicks between tracks 1 &2 on
side one. Two very light clicks on the penultimate
track to side 2, with some very light background
to another track : He thought a deep clean might well
take them out. Couple of paper scuffs but for a record
pushing 50, this is as good as it gets.
Dick Morrissey came onto the scene at the start of the
60's in the wake of Tubby Hayes and started to attract a
loyal following at The Marque with his Hard Bop playing.
With his Quartet he played at many London venues and
was especially appreciated at Ronnie Scotts.
In 1969 he teamed up with Terry Smith to form Jazz rock
group IF, and when the group disbanded in 1975 he went
on tour in Germany with Alexis Korner and then to the States
to tour and record with the Average White Band.
He met Jim Mullen, sometime guitarist with Brian Auger's
Oblivion Express and with some AWB members
Morrissey-Mullen cut an album UP in 1976.On returning to
England they formed a band M-M which became the most
appreciated Jazz Fusion Band of the time. He guested with
other bands and musicians and it was his ability and perception
to take different styles and give them his own individual take
that made him so much an admired and indispensable musician.
His marriage of jazz, bop, soul, and rock is a fitting epitaph.
