Description
This September 1957 session, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Hackensack, finds the still young Morgan (age 19) in the company of an interesting mix of players and not your Blue Note supporting regulars. Yes, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones are present on bass and drums respectively but asking Pepper Adams in on baritone sax and the inclusion of pianist Bobby Timmons, both usually associated with rival Riverside (but no strangers to Van Gelder), give these particular sides a nice edge.
Morgan’s interplay with Adams’ throatier horn gives a new perspective to his patented rapid-fire lines. Having assumed his place in the majors from his childhood idol, the late Clifford Brown (d. 1956), Morgan was on the assent in ’57 with what was to be a series of recordings for Blue Note that would help establish him in his short lifetime (33 years) as one of the greatest bop trumpeters.
The Cooker contains two Morgan originals “Heavy Dipper” and “New-Ma”, with standards “Just One Of Those Things”, “A Night In Tunisia” and “Lover Man” completing the album. Mastered and cut by Bernie Grundman on Classic's "ALL TUBE PURE MONO" cutting system (not like others who use a stereo cutting head which imparts "crosstalk" onto the groove cut) and pressed onto 200 gram QUIEX Super Vinyl Profile for maximum fidelity. Jackets are authentic "tip-on" and laminated (front only) as were the originals - and the labels have the desirable "deep groove". Another installment in the Classic Blue Note Signature Mono LP Series.
