A '92 release by marvelous alto saxophonist
Frank Morgan, whose life story and triumph over heroin addiction and imprisonment was one of the '80s' great success tales.
Morgan's biting, yet sensitive and rich alto has rightly been traced to
Charlie Parker, but
Morgan long ago rid his style of any imitative excesses. He was excellently supported on this program of duets by an amazing lineup of rotating pianists:
Kenny Barron,
Tommy Flanagan,
Barry Harris,
Roland Hanna, and
Hank Jones.
