This rare Lee Morgan Blue Note date from 1968 is one of the few discs by the legendary trumpeter that didn't see a large following when it was originally released. Unlike the colossal THE SIDEWINDER, this session is subtler in its approach to the funky sounds that Morgan had ushered into existence a few years earlier. Still, the masterful playing of stars like Morgan, Jackie McLean, Cedar Walton, and Billy Higgins, coupled with some exceptionally creative tunes, make this a worthwhile jewel in the Lee Morgan treasure chest. Also significant is the rare appearance of tenor man Frank Mitchell, who had appeared briefly with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.

Get this recording just for Louis Hayes' cooking hi-hat work on the opening cut "Raggedy Ann." Following the head, Morgan prowls around the confines of the groove, poking this way and that, then finally releasing into a straight-ahead swing feel after four taut choruses. "Lee-Sure Time" has a similar brooding quality, with stark trumpet and tenor harmonies that evoke the Jazz Messengers--no surprise, considering this is the first album Morgan made after a stint with Blakey that ran from 1958 to 1961.
