Harold_Z Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 This past Friday. after a long illness. Great guy - great player. Quote
JSngry Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Talk about leaving a void...scantily recorded, but such a personal voice. RIP and thank you. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 How I wish he'd recorded more - there's just the four Larry Young BN dates - or that's all I'm aware of. RIP -- I'll be spinning the Larry Young Mosaic this week ("Mother Ship" probably being one of my top 10 BN dates). Quote
JSngry Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 How I wish he'd recorded more - there's just the four Larry Young BN dates - or that's all I'm aware of. He's on a Dave Burns Vanguard side as "Herbie" Morgan. Quote
Harold_Z Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 The Dave Burns Sides were Herbie's first recordings and Herbie told me they were also Kenny Barron's first. Quote
brownie Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 I remember his playing on Larry Young's 'Mother Ship' drew some criticisms. Could not agree with this since I found his voice quite an original one! Sad to hear he went away almost unnoticed... Quote
sidewinder Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Sad news. I like the playing on 'Mother Ship' - and the Dave Burns LP - too. Edited July 23, 2013 by sidewinder Quote
robertoart Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 I remember his playing on Larry Young's 'Mother Ship' drew some criticisms. Could not agree with this since I found his voice quite an original one! Sad to hear he went away almost unnoticed... When did it draw some criticisms? By whom? Did Herbert Morgan withdraw from the mainstream? Local legend perhaps? Educator? Quote
JohnS Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Sad news, a player that always got my interest. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Yes, one, like Booker Ervin and John Manning, whom you can't help listening to when you hear him. RIP. MG Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Did he ever record again after the Larry Young dates? Quote

Could not agree with this since I found his voice quite an original one! Sad to hear he went away almost unnoticed... When did it draw some criticisms? By whom? Right here on a thread about Larry Young. Nothing really antagonistic if I remember well. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Dang. RIP. Dug his playing on the Larry Young material; will have to check into the Dave Burns album. Quote

Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 Chewy - if you haven't heard it, John Manning is also on 'Sparks', by Melvin Sparks. MG Quote
Justin V Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 I've often wondered what he was up to when listening to Mother Ship, and I'd still love to know more about his recent activities. It's a shame that he didn't record more. RIP to a fine saxophonist. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted July 25, 2013 Report Posted July 25, 2013 thanks MG, i think i have that one Quote
