Second's Best
Take Twelve was trumpeter Lee Morgan's only recording during an off-period that lasted from mid-1961 to late 1963. Morgan (who sounds in fine form) leads a quintet with tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, pianist Barry Harris, bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Louis Hayes through four of his originals, Jordan's "Little Spain," and the title cut, an Elmo Hope composition. The superior material uplifts the set from being a mere "blowing" date but it generally has the spontaneity of a jam session. It's one of Lee Morgan's lesser-known dates.
The record has hardly any marks and looks barely played and grades EX+ to NM.
The insert grades NM.
The sleeve (with obi strip) has some very light ring wear/rubbing marks and there is a tiny corner bump on the bottom right corner. There is quite a bit of 'foxing' on the back which is also on the Obi strip. There is also some light creasing on the bottom of the Obi strip o the back. The sleeve grades EX.
If you have any questions,please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Thanks for looking.
