Niko Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 John Coltrane/Lee Morgan (Swing/Roulette) On Side 1 Coltrane leads a group which preceded the classic quartet. It has Tyner, Billy Higgins and Steve Davis and they play three Coltrane compositions, "Exotica", "One and Four" and "Simple Like". Although these tracks are not particularly well known, they are of the highest quality, Coltrane playing with amazing passion and they are my favorite pieces of Coltrane on record. Anybody else a fan for them? Side 2 has a quintet of Morgan, Shorter, Timmons, Jimmy Rowser and Art Taylor. wow, that's a strong assessment (not knowing how you like other coltrane)... are they available on cd? Quote

I don't know if they're available on CD. I'm sure someone will be able to tell us. As to my liking for/familiarity with Coltrane, I have 10 LPs and 3CDs and - yes - those three tracks are the ones I'd grab if the house started burning! I have a musician friend who knows his Coltrane well and he's of the same opinion. Edited March 31, 2008 by BillF Quote

Teasing the Korean Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) The Hi-Los - Love Nest - Columbia 6 eye mono. Arrangements by Frank Comstock. This is an INCREDIBLY beautiful album - all ballads, and nowhere near as hyper as most of their records from this period. One track has double-tracked vocals, and as such is a precursor to the Singers Unlimited and Beach Boys. Edited March 31, 2008 by Teasing the Korean Quote

Well, I don't know, but "Simple Like" from the Roulette disc has the same melody as "Like Sonny" from Coltrane Jazz, although, of course, these are different recording sessions with different personnel.

The three cuts from the Roulette LP, along with an alternate take of "Exotica", are on the Like Sonny CD. That CD is filled out by a Wilbur Harden LP originally issued on Jubilee. Don't know if the Morgans have ever made it to CD. Quote
