brownie Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Sad news from The Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/dick-morgan-longtime-dc-jazz-pianist-dies-at-84/2013/10/30/8fd4fb82-4188-11e3-a624-41d661b0bb78_story.html These are the covers of the three albums he recorded for Riverside: Quote
king ubu Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Saw the Fresh Sound reissue of some (or all) of these, but I don't think I ever actually heard him play ... guess they're worth checking out? Quote
Stereojack Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 All three albums are worthwhile. Morgan is one of those guys who was known locally (in this case, Washington DC) but never pursued a career on the national level. Quote
mikeweil Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 The Fresh Sound has all 3 LPs on 2 CDs - I must admit I never heard any of recordings. IIRC these are some of the few that Fantasy or Concord never got around to reissue. R.I.P. Quote
mr jazz Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 saw him play around DC several times over the years. Always enjoyable listening! Quote
clifford_thornton Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 The only one of his LPs that I've seen is Settlin' In. Sorry to hear he departed before I ever had a chance to turn an ear to his work. Quote
jazzbo Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 I've heard two of the lps. Sorry to read this. Not many left of his generation of players. . . . Quote
