Yes it's excellent, well worth a watchNetflix has a very good documentary "I Called Him Morgan" that goes into this. Had nothing to do with used bog rolls apparently
A fab and oft overlooked record
Check out Clifford Jordan. Very soulful and lyrical. He made some wonderful albums. The best known is Glass Bead Games, but also check out Firm Roots, Live at Ethels and the live albums with Cedar Walton, Sam Jones and Billy Higgins.This thread is going to cost me a fortune, but at least it will be an ideal 'what do you want for Christmas' solution
SecondedYes it's excellent, well worth a watch
Anything that combines jazz with one of my favoutite books from teenage years has got to go on my 'must listen' list.Check out Clifford Jordan. Very soulful and lyrical.

On the subject of soulful sax players, there are a couple of unique albums made by Archie Shepp with pianist Horace Parlan. I have a soft spot for these two albums not just for Shepp but because I had the great good fortune to do a small Scandinavian tour on bass with Horace and US guitarist Paul Weeden, whose bands I played in for a number of years. Horace was a lovely guy, partially crippled by polio - he walked with a limp and only had part use of his right hand. He made up for this with the most exquisite chords and voicings, as you can also hear on the records he made with Mingus.
These two albums are spirituals, blues and similarly soulful pieces, including the theme from Dvorak's New World Symphony - Goin' Home. That track will melt your heart.
